# Because /board is being so slow: DIY thread!
I made a fing! It was the first time I've tried countersinking, and I don't think I did too badly. The top storey isn't fixed in place; it sits in place with dowels and sockets and gravity, in case I need to pop it off.


CFB, 100kb each.

It serves an esoteric purpose - I built it specifically to house my laptop (dead screen'd, so it only needs to open wide enough for me to get at the touchpad and the power button) and a keyboard (which controls the laptop, PS2 or PS3 depending on what it's connected to), as I wanted to keep them off the floor.

'Ning! Have you made a fing? Show me your fing.

# Oooooh, cool.
I put together a massive wardrobe, a bed, and two bedside tables the other week. I didn't make them myself, though. Ikea did.

Im royally pissed about this, as im at work 9-5 weekdays, hence the paying extra to get it delivered today!

Sometimes ours do that, and sometimes they just leave the parcel on the doorstep where anyone could nick it.

# They're too fucking lazy to ring the doorbell and wait for people to sign the thing.
They probably round up homeless people and make them write the "you were out" cards, so they don't even have to do that.

# It has sensors in it to measure the orientation of the foot,
and the bits of string are so you can make it perform certain movements, and see how it moves in other axis as a result.
The other explanation is: foot puppetry.

# Is it sort of like a Faraday cage?
It reminds me of a wee rat cage my mum and I made out of chicken wire so I could carry my rodents to the vet in it.
(I helped save b3ta! Bob Todd whee, Sat 23 Aug 2008, 11:35, archived)
# yes and no
it's an equipotential surface and it is not to supposed to have a field inside of it. (Like a Faraday cage)

Interestingly, the experiment suggested otherwise...

# Coo!
I haven't the shelf space for all my CDs (I'd estimate I have nearly as many as you), so I keep all the cases in a cupboard and the discs themselves in two giant disc wallets.
