How To Make a Secret Hollow Book:

How To Make a Secret Hollow Book:
The first step into making the hollow book is to select a book. Make sure this is a book your own, and not one belonging to the library, or your family. I suggest rummaging through books at yard/garage sales. Make sure it is a hardback; otherwise you will cut all the way through the other side when you are cutting out the insides.You'll also need: Elmer's white gluea container to hold glue solution (I've chosen a film canister)X-acto knife, and/or box cutter. Both if you have thembrush to apply glue solutionpencil/penruler, or other rigid straight edgeSelect a page that you want to be the first one cut out, and save that page to be cut out at the end. Mix a solution of white glue and water. Holding the remaining pages together, brush the edges with the glue solution - enough to soak in pretty well, but not too drippy. Allow this to dry, but use a spacer so the first couple pages, and the front cover don't get stuck. When dry, open the book to the first glued page. Happy hiding.

NES Cartridge Hides Sweet Homebrew Nintendo Emulator Nintendo emulators aren’t hard to find by any means, but this is the first time we’ve seen one made out of an old NES cartridge. Specifically, it hides inside of the Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt cartridge, which is the very game combo that most of us used for the first time with our old-school NESs.

Water Great Idea! Awesome Amphibious DIY Bicycle If the environmentalists are right and the world ends up covered in water within the next few decades, this might be the most handy vehicle to have around. Constructed by intrepid Chinese DIYer Li Jin, the amphibious bicycle works on both land and water, making it ideal for getting around in a future Waterworld. The modded bike uses eight empty water jugs to help it float, making a sort of pontoon that’s propelled by adjustable vane wheels. When the rider is across the water and ready to ride on dry land again, the jugs simply flip up and out of the way, and the bike functions like normal. The project is not only a creative way to get around through various conditions; it’s also a cool way to recycle those empty water jugs.

Hack Your Pocket Moleskine Into A Wallet If you’re like me, you love your Moleskine, but hate having to lug around one more thing in your pants pockets. With a cell phone and wallet already occupying valuable pocket real estate, the addition of the Moleskine can make your bottom half start to feel bulky. I thought about getting one of David Allen’s NoteTaker Wallets, in order to combine my wallet with the note taking functionality of the Moleskine, but they’re $90! As a law student who’s taking on student debt, I can not bring myself to drop $90 for a wallet.

Coolest Hack Ever? Cool Water + Pipes + Fan = DIY AC When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you an apartment with no air conditioning, you grab some supplies and make your own air conditioner. A clever Flickr user did just that and documented his project with annotated pictures. Starting off with a regular oscillating tabletop fan, he wrapped copper tubing in a spiral around the front and back of the fan. Flexible plastic tubing connects the copper coils to the reservoir below so that the fan can still oscillate.
