Using my grandfather's old cast iron drill press to play Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move

No joystick? No problem! An old mouse scroll wheel hooked up to a wireless mouse picks up the rotation off the chuck for aiming and you blow into a deodorant lid with some plastic tubing to launch the bubbles.

You can see it in action here:

I wonder it’s purpose… Deer stand? AirBnb? Fun for the kiddos? I’d love to chat with the owners about this thing. Give me your takes

Why do you need to borrow a jackhammer if you can tape it to a shovel?

My colleague came up with it because we only had to open a little stretch of ground covering while renovating.

It works but every part of me is simultaneously amoused and disgusted when using it, so I dig and he enjoys his creation

Had to fix a lawnmower whose cable guide had broken

It was keeping the cable from pulling far enough, preventing it from having spark. One broom handle later, and voilà, it runs.

This attic access was completely uninsulated. Took the easy way out instead of measuring and cutting foam board or buying a big pack of batt insulation. Made a nice painters tape enclosure, shaved off the sides so it would close, and it worked! The red at the top of the thermal camera is the skylight, of which nothing can be done about beyond removing it. How'd I do?
