Cool tool to make Viking Braids
Pretty simple build, basically a wheel with 8 slots in it that you spin the yarn around in. https://www.instructables.com/Viking-Braids-Make-a-Trollen-Wheel/

Touchpad to gcode
Interesting build, the author uses a rather big, and clear, touchpad to draw something that the arduino will convert to gcode, which then can be sent to a CNC. This could be a good kid project (they draw something, then … Continue reading

Nice simple bicycle spoke to keyring build
The author just uses a block of wood for the jig for this. Its a neat build (could be a good craft project for kids to make). https://www.instructables.com/Bicycle-Spoke-Keyring/

Simple kit to make your own magnetic stirrer
Nice build, the case is 3D printed, and the electronics are all sourced parts. Figure this would cost about $10-15 dollars each. That said I got curious and looked to see if I could get one already made for less. … Continue reading

Make your own Oreo holder
For you mug or cup. This is definitely something to do with kids (while stuck at home and get them into 3D printing) https://www.instructables.com/id/Oreo-Holder/

Nice build for a prototype board for Micro:bit
These are some simple to use tinker boards that are great for kids. The author in this case basically made a breadboard out of magnets for the 5 end points on the board. https://www.instructables.com/id/The-ThreadBoard-Microbit-E-Textile-Prototyping-Boa/

Cool Jig to make thin slices of wood on table saw
Nice build overall. I like the “springs” added in. This would be something I would think of making myself. However I would have done the 2nd version as making the wooden joint seems like alot of work for it. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/thin-wood-slicing-jig-75482?homelistings#post142877

Nice 3D print accessories for your quick clamps
I wonder if they will fit on harbor freight ends too. I bookmarked this one to try a few prints out and see if they do. https://www.instructables.com/id/More-3D-Printed-Gadgets-for-Woodworking/

Turning your Micro:bit into a compass
Someone already wrote the code for you, so you just need a nice cover and your Micro:bit can be used as a compass. https://www.instructables.com/id/Microbit-Compass/

Could concrete planter build
The author puts a soda can for the insert for the concrete, which is a good idea since you don’t have to remove it when done. Could make a good mothers day project. http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-SODA-CAN-CONCRETE-PLANTER/
