For those of you who are interested in building your servo-electric guitars, take a look at this awesome single-string servo-electric guitar using Arduino and servo motors.
A guitar string synthesizer driven by a midi channel to play a rock version of the Japanese folk song Sakura (with background midi accompaniment). The design is described in more detail at the servoelectricguitar
We’ve all watched too many spy movies in our life probably and know what you can do with lasers, such as listening to conversations miles away. Well, it’s actually possible to do that (for those of you who don’t know) and here’s a guy who built one himself.
The idea is that sound from someone speaking will vibrate the window that is in the same room as them. If you bounce a laser beam from a 5mW laser module off the window the laser beam will be deflected slightly as the window vibrates. If you monitor this vibration you will be able to hear what is
For those of you who want a portable, external portable with more wooden and natural “feel”, you might want to think about building your own DIY wooden enclosure using your WD Passport. This is a great way to accompany your DIY Wooden PC btw. (Also see
For those of you who want to make an interactive coffee table that will respond to your guests hand gestures, check out this cool DIY interactive LED coffee table, which uses photo-resistors to detect movement.
This is my instructable on building a simple LED table that works and responds in an analog manner. It was to be built of individual pods with 4 LED’s with th
For those of you who want to run your personal web servers on minimal hardware and energy, you might want to seriously think about building yourself one of these nifty Arduino web servers.
Of course, this reminds of the time I hacked my Palm Pre to run a WordPress Blog, that’s probably even better since you can take your website with you where ever you go.
For those of you who wanted to build something fast and capable of holding three passengers, here’s a really cool way to mix a motorcycle and passenger seats, build a super bike car!
Then came the sidecar chassis, also all in aluminium. Hubs and brakes come from a VW Golf GTI, the wheels are from an Audi 80. The tension of the chain is automatically adjusted by an eccentric system installed on the swingarm axle. Shocks absorbers are Fournales air system, especially manufactured for this machine.
For those of you who barely can afford to live in this recession, you might at least be happy to learn that WEP hacking is easy (although it’s illegal and we don’t recommend it) plus you can build yourself a simple USB wifi signal extender so you make sure to pick up on that neighbor’s free wifi signal.

With HDTV signals freely available, for those of you who want to get free HDTV channels, you might want to look into making your own custom HDTV antenna such as the one featured here. I know it can help a lot since this guy’s already tested it and says it’s better than his Yogi antenna.
I built this bowtie style antenna in about an hour and can’t believe the way it out performs that other antenna. Swear to GOD! I am hitting 88 to 99 signal strength on all my channels now with NO DROPOUTS AT ALL!!!!
I am not a guitar enthusiast (yet), mostly because I don’t know how to play guitar but for those of you who are, take a look at this great instructable that shows you how to make your own electric guitar from scratch. Not only is this a great way to make you own custom guitar, learning such skills could provide invaluable, perhaps you could even start your own custom guitar company.
I have built several electric guitars over the years and through trial and error have learned many helpful tips that anyone who might want to tackle this sort of project needs to know befo
When I go fishing over at my local Pacifica pier for crabs for other ocean fish, I take my super, huge cooler with me. Well, here’s a great Bass DIY that shows you how to build your own portable stereo cooler so you can bump some music next time you are fishing or at the beach.
Okay so I basically stole this idea after seeing it at a friends party. However, I think that I improved on it some. Basically it is a regular cooler with a car battery and car stereo / car radio built in. This write up should serve as a decent How-To build a stereo cooler (aka cooler stere
