Made this clock this afternoon. Made from a vintage book I found at a bookstore. I think it turned out pretty neat.
Wanna buy it?
Renovation Life: DIY - Floating Shelves
Our dining room was starting to look a little bare & boring. It is currently a drastic improvement over what it was. Here are a few pictures of the room when I bought it.
I’m serious but that story is for another time.
This is what the room looks like currently.

Twin Cities Maker | Minne Faire 2011 – Call for Makers
I would like to announce that we have selected Sat. April 9th to be the date for this years mini maker fair. The Faire will take place from noon until 5pm and there will likely be some sort of after party. Mark your calendars!
This is also a Call for Makers. We need you to fill tables at our event. If you’d like to request a table please e-mail jtbarclay@gmail.com with a description, link, and/or photos of what you’d be presenting. Also include your table size and power requirements. Since the Hack Factory has filled up quite a bit since last year, space is at a premium. We are working with our landlord to free up some extra space for the weekend, but tables will be limited. If needed, table selections may be a juried process.
If you haven’t been to the Hack Factory since last years faire, I recommend you stop by. Our membership has increased substantially over the past year, and the difference you’ll immediately notice is the presence of tools!
New DIY Electric Airplane Takes Flight | Wired
The number of flying electric airplanes (and pilots) increased by one with the first flight of John Monnett’s Waiex in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Waiex is one of several models of kit-built aircraft designed and produced by Monnett’s company, Sonex, and the electric version has been in development for several years.
——
The airplane is a standard Waiex kit aircraft modified with the electric power system. The airplane currently has a 54-kilowatt brushless DC motor and a 14.5-kilowatt-hour lithium polymer battery system. In addition the company has also developed its own battery-management system, motor controller and cockpit instrumentation.
I think this is really interesting despite the limitations with the current battery setup (Aprox. 14 minutes at full power).
