Carroms board recrafted into a table

Ryan McFarland — 2008-03-07T15:00:00 00:00

Filed under: home decor, kids, recreation, weekend projects, wood working, RECrafted

I spent many hours playing carroms as a kid. Carroms is a game similar to billiards. Rules vary considerably from country to country and even from town to town. A few years ago I bought a board at a thrift store while visiting my parents. When my father saw it he became excited and a family game of carroms followed.

Since that purchase I've bought two other carroms boards. Each has been slightly different but the size of the playing surface works great for a table top.

I have found that the corner pockets make great drink holders. Friends that see the table want to play or want to know about the game if they never have played before.

Suggestions on how to build a table out of a carroms board after the jump.You will need:

A carroms board
Screwdriver
1" x 4" board (height of table x 8)
3/4 inch plywood
Wood glue
Circular saw
Table saw
Drill and small bits
Tape measure, pencil and square
Finishing nails
Screws
Paint or stain

Use the screwdriver to remove the small posts from the opposite side of the board.

Make four legs for the table by cutting eight equal pieces of the 1x4 board. Consider whether you will use it as a coffee or end table and cut the legs accordingly. You can use these pieces as the legs or you can cut a 45 degree angle off of one side of each of the pieces so that two form an "L" shape when glued together.

You will need two pieces of the 3/4 inch plywood that are about two inches smaller than the distance between the corner pockets. That will ensure that the top piece does not block the board pockets. Drill pilot holes through the legs and the plywood edge and assemble with the wood glue and screws.

I suggest painting or staining the structure you've built now. Then just glue the carroms board onto the top piece and you have a sturdy, multi-function table ready for game nights! I plan on adding a small drawer under the bottom shelf to store the carroms pieces and perhaps chess or checkers playing pieces.

25 Uncommon uses for inner tubes

Ryan McFarland — 2008-03-06T13:00:00 00:00

Filed under: fix-it, household hacks, recreation, Crafts, electrical, landscaping, staying green, Tools, pets

An old bicycle or automotive inner tube has a lot of life left in it after it no longer holds air.

A punctured wheelbarrow inner tube was one of the best dog toys for my black lab. She would drop it at my feet. All I had to do was kick it and it would fly through the air, roll along the ground, or skim along the wet grass. She would race to it, shake it, and drop it at my feet again. Her teeth were never damaged, I never had to bend over and pick up a slobbery toy, and it was easily hosed off.

Here's a list of 24 more reasons to keep a flat tube around.

Make rubber bands.
Wrap around a hose tightly, jam into the opening of a clogged pipe and turn on the water. The pressure should clear the blockage.
Make a belt with a bike sprocket.
Make adjustable and flexible clamps for holding glued projects together while drying.
Make a ball that won't become soaked with dog slobber and will be easy on your pet's teeth.
Use as a funnel or hose.
Temporary gaskets.

17 more ideas after the jump.

Make insoles.
Reduce vibration. (Hauling a bike on a car rack for a while? Protect the paint.)
Protect wiring from chafing.
Protect ropes from edges, tree sap, and moisture.
Makeshift oil filter wrench.
Combine with hose clamps for a non-slip clamp.
Use to make waterproof bags.
Cane a chair.
Cut a bike tube at the valve stem, and then again on the other side of the stem. Run the chain of a swing set through it to reduce the chance of pinches, or of hair being stuck in the links.
Make a wallet.
iPod case.
Make clothing out of the rubber.
Make a stretchy rope.
Scarecrow hair.
Combine with sticks or bamboo to make a trellis.
Make unique purses...
Or bags.

Stop your cats from unrolling the toilet paper

Ryan McFarland — 2008-03-05T14:00:00 00:00

Filed under: household hacks, bathroom, pets

One of our four cats seems to love to play with the toilet paper. I've had this problem before but they usually grow out of it. I have been throwing away shredded toilet paper or re-rolling half of a roll more frequently lately so it was time to figure out a way to stop it.

I know that one solution is to not put the toilet paper on the dispenser. But that simply is not an option for me. I'm even compulsive about which way the roll is put on the spindle.

Just use a long rubber band and wrap it around the ends of the holder. A few weeks of that and most cats should lose interest and move on to play with other things that they shouldn't. (Perhaps you'll need a tip on keeping your cat out of houseplant dirt.)

Dominoes recrafted into a bracelet

Ryan McFarland — 2008-02-29T14:30:00 00:00

Filed under: toys, Crafts, jewelry-making, RECrafted

Continuing to recraft finds from the game closet (last week was Monopoly wine charms) here is another easy project that uses old dominoes to make a bracelet.

A single domino could be used as a pendant on a necklace as a gift for someone with a favorite number or a birthday present by using the numbers to represent their age. Wooden dominoes like the ones that I used would also make great coasters by gluing them together (like the Scrabble tile coasters).

After the jump is the list of supplies and suggestions for making a few of your own domino bracelets.

You will need:

Dominoes
Small diameter elastic cord
Drill or rotary tool and small bit
Scissors
Beads

Most modern domino sets that I have seen are made out of plastic but I was able to find an older set made of wood at the thrift store for fifty cents. This would work equally as well with plastic dominoes.

Drilling through the side of the pieces is the most tricky part of the project. I don't have a drill press but that would be the best way to be certain that your holes are made parallel to the face. Making a jig to position the domino would be wise so that each hole is drilled in line with the next. Since my workshop is a bit less advanced, I just put a fairly small bit (but large enough to push the elastic cord through) in my rotary tool and clamped the domino to my workbench. A bench top vice would also help keep your flesh from that spinning blade.

It took me a bit of trial and error to figure out how many dominoes would be necessary to go around my girlfriend's wrist. We found that beads helped with the spacing and appearance and seven dominoes was most comfortable for her. Finish the project off with a few knots pulled tight and trim the elastic cord. Even the smallest set should have enough for three bracelets. With a little thought each domino could have some meaning such as birthdays, anniversaries, or any numbers of special significance to the wearer.

Monopoly game pieces recrafted to wine charms

Ryan McFarland — 2008-02-20T18:00:00 00:00

Filed under: in the kitchen, Crafts, jewelry-making, entertaining, gifts, RECrafted

Every Wednesday I will be bringing you a project that has been recrafted from something else. I dabble in everything from paper crafts and sewing to construction and electronics so there will be a broad range of projects. The focus being the reuse of items -- often items available for little money or even free.

This month I raided the game closet for inspiration. For years I have stocked those shelves with thrift store purchases. By keeping an eye out for odd games and even the standby classics I have more games than I will ever likely play. A few duplicates give me the raw materials for some nostalgic projects.

We entertain often enough to have the occasion to need to distinguish one glass of wine from another. For some reason people congregate in the kitchen and by milling around, glasses of wine end up misplaced and the ownership of fuller glasses disputed. Putting a unique ring on each glass stem will help people remember which glass is their own -- but there may be arguments over who gets the shoe!

To make Monopoly piece wine charms collect the following items.

The metal playing pieces from a Monopoly game
Cheap wine charms or jewelry wire
Needle nose pliers
Drill (or rotary tool) and small bit
Beads (optional)

Some of the game tokens will not need to be drilled to be attached to the loop. Be extremely careful drilling holes in metal. Hold the game piece tightly with the pliers. I have found that the variable speed of a rotary tool allows for slowing down the drill bit to a less frightening speed (but still quite capable of making holes). Plan out how the game piece will attach to the wire loop before you touch the drill bit to the token.

I found cheap wine charms at a dollar store but you can easily make your own by using jewelry making supplies if you want them to be detachable. Perhaps you can match them to your hand-painted wine glasses and leave them on permanently. Throw some beads onto each ring for a splash of color if you would like. Monopoly not your game? Some of the Clue game pieces would work well for wine charms also.

The sweetest Valentine's day gifts are made from sweets

Ryan McFarland — 2008-02-05T16:00:00 00:00

My girlfriend seems to set the creativity bar quite high during Valentine's Day gift giving. the past two years she has combined her sweet nature with a sweet tooth to make creative and inexpensive personalized gifts for me.

You don't need to buy custom candy hearts to give a personalized message. Two years ago my girlfriend glued conversation hearts onto a piece of card stock with a carefully scripted message for me that used candy hearts right out of a bag.

Last year she gave me 365 gum balls. Each one was wrapped in aluminum foil with a tiny slip of paper listing something she loved about me, liked doing with me, or will always remember from our past. The idea came from doing the same with Hershey's Kisses but since I'm not a huge chocolate fan she picked a candy I do like.

After the jump, a list of other ideas of how to make this sweet day even sweeter with a little time, a bit of sugar and a little love.

Make a big card using some poster board, a marker, and candy bars. Just look through the candy section of the store and try to fit their names into sentences. If there are some flavors that neither of you like just print out some images from the Candy Wrapper Museum to fill in for the real things.
Gather the ingredients to make a batch of your own hard candy. As long as you have a candy thermometer you probably have all the rest of the ingredients around. All you need is sugar, light corn syrup, water, food coloring and flavoring. You could make the candy before the 14th and spell words out with the mixture before it hardens. Just spread the cooling candy on waxed paper. Or gather the ingredients and make a batch together on Valentine's Day. A dusting of powdered sugar keeps the pieces from sticking together if you put them in a bowl or bag.
Use your sweetheart's favorite chocolate bars and make a custom wrapper. First wrap the bar with aluminum foil and then wrap the candy bar with a simple loop of paper that is taped on the seam. Use graphics software on your computer to make your own labels or decorate them with any of your favorite craft supplies. Consider putting coupons, sweepstakes, and other perks on the inside of the wrapper. You even could give each label a point value which could be collected and redeemed for items in a catalog which you create.

Plumbing with PEX instead of copper

Ryan McFarland — 2008-02-04T12:00:00 00:00

Filed under: fix-it, plumbing, remodeling

In relocating the hookup for a washer and dryer I ran into a tricky situation. It was going to require six joints in both the hot and cold lines to maneuver around a beam, go under the joists, and then connect to the existing plumbing. Not looking forward to trying to sweat copper pipes in a cramped crawl space or cut ten different lengths of copper pipe, I decided to look into using a flexible length of of tubing called cross-linked polyethylene or PEX instead.

I still had to solder a few fittings to put in the coupling to attach the PEX to the copper. The high price of copper is a good reason to give plastic tubing serious consideration for your next plumbing job. After the jump I'll tell you about my first experience working with PEX and a few little tips for you to keep in mind if you ever need to do a remodel and want to work with flexible piping.

I installed a valve on each copper line with compression fittings. This allows me to isolate the clothes washer under the house in case something I install doesn't work out. I can turn the water to the rest of the house back on while finishing the rest of the job. Then I cut a short length of copper pipe and soldered a coupling and the barbed coupling on. On the washer end of the system I used the old valve and a length of the copper pipe and just soldered the coupling and barb to the end.

Cut your tubing with either a special set of cutters or carefully use a utility knife to make a clean cut. Slip the crimp ring onto the PEX and then push the copper barb into the flexible piping. Use a ratcheting crimping tool to close the copper crimp ring onto the barb around the tubing. The store I bought the PEX and fittings from let me borrow the crimping tool -- they run well over $100. Unless you plan on doing a lot of plumbing try to borrow or rent the crimpers.

It took me less than an hour to wrap up what would have probably taken me about four or five hours and undoubtedly led to at least a few instances where I would have had to re-solder joints. The price was right and I did the job with just one trip to the hardware store! I now have a coil of left over tubing sitting with the assorted copper fittings in the work shop ready for the next time a foundation beam is in the way of my plumbing project. There are pros and cons of both PEX and copper plumbing but this situation the choice was easy -- make the job easy.

CD sleeve from outdated electronics

Ryan McFarland — 2008-01-31T18:00:00 00:00

Filed under: Crafts, computers and internet, geek it yourself, staying green

Using a old computer keyboard you can make a thin sleeve to protect your CD or DVD from damage. Inside computer keyboards is a thin, flexible, and sturdy membrane with printed circuits on it. Older keyboards tend to have prettier colors and designs in my experience. If you have upgraded to a USB keyboard or one with a bunch of fancy function keys and can not find a taker for your old keyboard grab a small screwdriver and see what's inside.

Making a few sleeves like this could be combined to make a CD wallet. Adding a "jacket" made from an old 5¼ inch floppy diskette gives the newer disc even more protection and also makes your CD protection quite similar to the old familiar albums.

You will need just a few items to make at least one of the sleeves. Depending on the keyboard you may have enough circuit sheets for up to three compact discs.

Keyboard
Screwdriver
Utility knife or hobby knife
Cutting board
A square
Clear packing tape
5 ¼ floppy disk (optional)

Open up the keyboard and remove the circuit sheets. You might want to clean them with hot water and a sponge. Cut two 5 inch squares out of the circuit sheet and put the smooth sides together. Now cut three pieces of tape to seal three of the sides. I used the edge that I did not cut for my opening so there are not any rough edges and there is a line of circuits that help distinguish the opening. The circuit sheets are very forgiving so you can remove the tape and fix things if you need to. Trim off any pieces that overhang. If you can find an old floppy for the outer sleeve then just trim off one edge (I cut the edge with the notches in it) and pull out the inner disk. The gallery images give a detailed walk through.

5 easy things to make your bathroom feel new

Ryan McFarland — 2008-01-31T10:00:00 00:00

Filed under: weekend projects, bathroom, plumbing, cleaning

Is it difficult to find enthusiasm about cleaning the bathroom? Are you living in a place that someone else rented or owned before you? If you said yes to both, try not to think about what may have happened in your bathroom before you moved in. Let's just get to making that place feel like you and your family or friends are the only contaminants.

Here are five inexpensive things you can do to make your bathroom truly feel like it is yours. Doing these will not make the room look new but it will make it feel much more new to you. You'll probably want to wear gloves for most of these. Absent from this list are the obvious cleaning chores that you should be doing regularly -- you know, things like scrubbing the toilet and washing the shower curtain every now and then.

Replace the toilet seat. Let's face it, you don't want to be using a toilet seat that countless mysterious people have used as their own. This is an easy swap and will set you back less than $25. Consider buying new hinge bolts too.
Scrub under the sink. The toilet brushes and plungers of previous residents might have been stored here. Keep that in mind while you have your head stuffed under there. If you can't get the wood clean enough consider putting in some contact paper or cutting a new piece of wood to go over the old one. This shouldn't cost more than the bit of cleaner you use.
Clear your drains. Remove the stopper from your sinks and tub. Clean the residue off of them. Use a metal clothes hangar bent into a small hook and reach down your shower or tub drains to fish out any hair and then use a vinegar and baking soda mixture to finish the job. If you really want to be thorough, grab a bucket (to collect the water in the trap) and some wrenches and remove the U shaped piece under the sink. Give that a good cleaning -- if a valuable ends up in the trap you'll only have your own sludge to deal with.
Clean the toilet tank. The water that collects in the toilet tank should be clean but it may appear dirty in there depending on your fixture's age, the pipes in your home and your water source. Shut off the valve that provides water to the toilet (that should be right behind and below the tank). Flush the toilet and then add a cleaner and scrub it out. While you're in here and have the tank drained you might think about changing the flush mechanism if you have toilet problems. Don't forget to turn the valve back on.
Clean the shower head. You can remove your shower head and soak it in a plastic tub of vinegar, CLR, or other cleaner that will remove mineral deposits or you can put some of the cleaner in a plastic bag and tie it on to the pipe right on the wall. Some scrubbing with an old toothbrush or using a needle for stubborn spots may be necessary.

The pros and cons of a low flow shower head

Ryan McFarland — 2008-01-29T10:00:00 00:00

Filed under: bathroom, plumbing, staying green

Last spring I installed two on-demand electric hot water heaters in parallel. They worked wonderfully until this winter's cold temperatures pushed the ground water temperature lower than the rest of the year. We had no problem with hot water from our taps at about 1.5 gallons per minute but the shower just never got hot. The standard for new shower heads is 2.5 gallons per minute. We needed to reduce our GPM consumption by about 1 gallon in order to have hot showers.

I did a bit of research and found Bricor manufactures a number of sub 2.5 GPM shower heads. I contacted them about making a purchase and they replied with their pricing and told me to measure the pressure of the water at the shower head. I dutifully removed my shower head and threaded on $12 worth of parts from the hardware store to measure the water pressure. With that information and a model picked out I sent them payment via Paypal. They made my shower head specifically for me and my home's water pressure to achieve the desired PSI. A few weeks later I received it and put the new head in place.

The pros of the low flow shower head are that my water consumption is down. The on-demand hot water heater can easily keep up with the lower flow so I'm probably using less electricity as well. Reducing your water and electricity consumption is definitely nice! The pressure of the water coming out of the head is not noticeably less than my shower head off the hardware store shelf.

The cons of the low flow shower head are the expensive price up front (I'll admit, I probably chose their most expensive model), and a major lag in response from a change in temperature at the knob to the time the desired temperature comes out of the head. It also takes a long time for the hot water to reach the shower head from the heaters but I understand that the water used during that longer period of time is the same as before changing to the lower flow.

A less expensive but equally effective way to reduce water consumption and reduce the GPM rate to allow a heater to keep up with demand is to simply regulate the amount of water coming our of the shower head by not opening the valve the whole way.

Friskies cat food bags into giant reusable grocery bags

Ryan McFarland — 2008-01-28T18:00:00 00:00

Filed under: in the kitchen, staying green, pets

Within the last year Friskies dry cat food switched from a paper bag with a plastic liner to a type of woven plastic for their big bags of product. The paper bags my cats could chew through, but these new bags are nearly impossible to tear. Without a use in mind I began to tuck them away once they were emptied.

My girlfriend suggested that we start to bring our own bags to the grocery store recently. So we started to collect the canvas totes and conference bags that we had around to keep in the car for our next trip to the store. But none were very large and the pile was bulky and quite mismatched in size and style. Then I realized that the cat food bags could work well for our trips to the store.

If you have cats and shop at warehouse stores or a store that charges for bags these giant sacks might work well for you. Of course, it may take a while to collect enough bags to hold all of your groceries. We just found out that our grocery store gives you a two cent credit for each bag of your own that you use.

All you need to make these bags are a tape measure, a marker and scissors. I turned my bags inside out and washed them. Measure from your hand to the ground while standing. Now take that measurement and subtract about six inches. That should be where the top of your handle cut should be. Make certain to leave at least two inches around the top of the bag. Just use the marker to draw a hot-dog-shaped oval on opposite sides and then cut it out.

These bags can hold a lot of weight. To test the strength I stood in the bag and pulled up on the handles. The strands of the weave around the handles stretched but held except for the ones that were already cut. I then put 25 pounds of cat litter into one and then repeatedly dropped the bag -- stopping it just short of the ground. The strands around the handle seemed to tighten and stretch but nothing broke.

Old electric toothbrush becomes an etcher

Ryan McFarland — 2008-01-18T18:00:00 00:00

Filed under: household hacks, Tools

For a few years I have loyally used Oral-B's disposable Pulsar toothbrushes. But throwing them away when it is time for new bristles seemed extra wasteful. So with a few of them kicking around the bottom drawer of the bathroom to experiment with and a bit of spare time I made one of them into a vibratory etcher.

You'll need a few things to get started:

A dead disposable electric toothbrush
A new AAA battery (brands and models may differ)
Up to two pairs of pliers
A candle and matches
Wire cutters
A staple gun staple or push pin

Remove the head of the toothbrush and clean the handle well. (After seeing the toothpaste grime built up between the head and the handle maybe I'll shop around for a new toothbrush brand.) Now remove the battery compartment by unscrewing the base. This can be pretty tricky. Two out of the three that I did this with were glued so well that the pliers tore away part of the rubberized grip and gouged the plastic. Once the end cap is removed you can swap out the battery. Just bend the metal tab straight so you can remove the old battery, put the new one in place, and then use your pliers to bend the metal contact back in place. Put the cover back over the exposed battery.

Now use the wire cutters to cut off the point from a push pin or one barb from a stapling gun staple. Light the candle and use the pliers to heat the end that you just cut off. Warm that piece of metal until it is hot enough to be pushed into the tip of the toothbrush handle. Let it cool and if necessary heat the tip again to get a good bond between the metal tip and the surrounding plastic.

Now put your name in your valuables or the tools that you might loan out. It is not as powerful as a professional quality etcher but it will scratch into things quicker, deeper and easier than a non-vibrating instrument.

Circuit board luggage tags

Ryan McFarland — 2008-01-18T15:00:00 00:00

Filed under: Crafts, geek it yourself, staying green, electronics

This is a fairly simple project to make customized luggage tags. Recycling part of a circuit board into a one-of-a-kind identifier for your bag. You probably have orphaned remote controls from electronics that were adopted by a universal remote. The nice thing about many of these small circuit boards is that they do not have many components soldered on and they have large flat areas with circuitry so you probably won't even need to do any soldering to make these!

What you will need:

Old remote controls (check the cushions or the thrift store)
Screwdrivers to open the remotes
Diagonal pliers
Hacksaw and miter box
Rotary tool and small drill bit
Utility knife or file
Key chain ring
Pencil
Ruler
Permanent marker
Polyurethane

Break into that old remote using the screwdrivers. Marvel at the designs on both sides and start imagining what part of the board you want to use. Take the diagonal pliers and nip off any components that will prevent you from having one side of the circuit board flat against the bottom of the miter box.

Cut a piece out using the saw in the miter box. Cut slowly and be careful with the dust. Printed circuit boards have some nasty metals in them like lead. Once you have a nice rectangle cut out use the utility knife to shave down any rough edges. Using the drill bit in a rotary tool allows you to easily set the speed low so that you won't fling toxic dust all over and so that the bit will not rip into the board and leave a rough opening. If you would like you can practice drilling a hole in a piece of the scrap that you removed. Consider seeking a proper recycling facility for scrap circuit board pieces after you're done.

Use the pencil and ruler to lay out your name and contact information then go over it with the marker. If you need to, use a piece of white contact paper stuck on one side to make your information more visible. Finally, coat the tag with polyurethane to seal in the toxins and give the tag a nice gloss.

How to keep cats out of potted plant soil

Ryan McFarland — 2008-01-15T10:00:00 00:00

Filed under: household hacks, pets

Our household has twice as many felines as people. Our two youngest kittens have the tendency to like to dig in the soil of our few remaining potted plants. After filling a good portion of our vacuum cleaner bag with the good kind of dirt, I decided to find a way to keep them out.

I considered cutting a piece of cardboard, wood, or metal to fit around the plant but watering would become more of a hassle. Then I used a collection of marbles and polished pebbles. They worked well at letting the water pass through and prettied up the top of the potting soil but the kittens loved to rummage them out and play with them. Finally, I threw a few large pine cones in one of the pots. They lock together well enough that the cats don't pull them out, they don't prevent watering, and, as they degrade, they will add organics to the soil.

With the idea of interlocking items in mind, my cacti are now guarded with beach-combed coral pieces and the aloe plant has an arsenal of green army men protecting it.
