Nice HOW TO, would work for other little creatures too – I know there are many feeding systems available in the pet shop but I don’t want them to have access to the specialised food the whole day. Exposing them to an unlimited supply of grains, corn, … would stop them from eating my kitchen waste (and that’s why we bought them in the first place). [via] Link.
This could be a handy hack if you want (or need) to add another USB port on your system- add a USB port to your mouse! I could see using this for a quick way to transfer stuff to a USB drive. I always wondered why the wireless mice don’t charge via USB, that way you can have them wireless, and then charge them when needed (and still use it). Maybe I’ll make one. Link.
Tons and tons of mods for Nerf toys, guns and accessories. A sample…SuperMaxx 750 PETG barrel replacement mod: My goal was to replace the stock barrel on the SM750 with 6″ x 1/2″ PETG tubing and increase the working pressure of the air system. The barrel material is very difficult to find and can be replaced with 9/16″ OD K&S brand brass tubing for very similar performance. Link.
Wouter writes “…an excellent, 49-page step-by-step how-to with photos on how to make your own pancake generator. It shows how to make jigs, a winding tool etc. The site also contains PDF’s on how to make your own generator blades. Mr. Piggot is an enthusiastic wind generator man who’s not afraid to share his extensive knowledge. More power to him”. Link (PDF).
Anthony Skirvin’s great HOW TO – First thing, with screen printing, there is a bunch of different ways to achieve the same end result. What I am showing you here is only one way that I print posters, so this should be a considered an introduction, but know that there are plenty of different methods out there that will work just as well.

If you’re really in to audio- here’s how to make your own tube traps. Given the level of interest in these DIY tube traps I put together a brief tutorial for the relatively simple process for constructing these excellent tube traps. While I obtained good results I am in no means an expert on this subject so don’t hesitate to experiment or make changes. Link.
MAKE pal Jake has a good HOW TO – By default every movie encoded using Dr. DivX or the newer DivX Create Bundle displays a watermark during the first few seconds of playback. In theory this is great free advertising for DivX which introduces a bunch of new eyes to their encoding product. Who knows if it actually works. Occasionally that watermark gets in the way of things like subtitles but it’s generally harmless. If you’re annoyed by it, DivX offers a fairly simple method for making it go away. Link.
