If you’ve got a couple milk crates and some fixed rollers, you can build yourself a saw feed roller for cutting long things on a table saw. It’s not clear if this one is for feeding stock in or tailing off, but either way it looks like it could use a little extra stability, perhaps […]

Here, he shows the LED binary indexing cover he introduced in the Maker Faire video, and a second project, to put a membrane keypad and LEDs in a cover that will eventually hook up to a microcontroller and will respond to […]
Jake von Slatt carries a purse — and he’s man enough to call it that. He’s also geek-maker enough to want to properly organize its innards with desired compartments.

The design uses acrylic plates from Oomlout’s kit but specs to build your own […]
