Great Instructable on making your own book wall hanging. I saw this in person a couple weeks ago, and I’m making a few as gifts for the holidays! – “Take one of the many beautiful books available at project Gutenberg and convert it into a wall sized readable book. Makes great gifts for the literary types in your life. This is the complete text of Flatlands, and how to generate and print it, at 60 x 42 inches. That’s huge! Take a look at the PDF.” Link.
Interesting page documenting a homemade air rifle (also check out the potato cannon) – “Air guns are normally small air powered rifles that shoot relatively small projectiles, primarily used for target practice.
