The Musical Table is a toy table that allows kids to play musical phrases by moving toys around the surface.Each of seven switches can play different musical phrases in four bases, making 27 different musical phrases in total.

Here is my post for the final FINAL
Intro :
In this tutorial, I will show you how to recycle expired milk to make “plastic” at home. Of course it doesn’t have to be expired milk, but try to drink the milk while it’s still good for yourself and be healthy first! This home-made plastic is hardly a replacement for real plastic, but it’s a fun experiment to do with your friends or kids. The chemical reaction is based on the fact that casein is generated from milk and vinegar with some heat. It is quick and easy, and it will be fun for everyone!
Feel better about leftover milk that is no longer drinkable, socialize with people around you, learn a useful scientific fact, and be proud of your creative exploration!

Using a Plexi Template on the Potters Wheel – More DIY How To Projects
Here’s my instructable on how to make a form using plexi. I go through the basic steps of creating a cylinder on the wheel and then how the plexi figures in. I explain all the materials and fabrication shops you will need access to to create this with detailed shots along the way. It really is meant for people comfortable with throwing or people who may not realize the overlap between techniques used on the plaster wheel and those used on the potters wheel. But yay…here’s a much more descriptive version of the video I made for class: Quicktime Vid

Hello friends,
I put up a pegboard in my kitchen and made an iPad holder for it. You guys, this is a big deal. I can now watch my NetFlixx-ed Julie & Julia movie while I make aspic and chop onions (I should probably stop watching this movie). I posted the instructions to both the pegboard an the iPad holder to Instructables. You’re all welcome over later for cookies and margaritas.
Bon Appetit!
Materials:
Pegboard
Slats
iPad
Spray Paint
Drill
Screws
Dry Wall Anchors
Smiles
Pegs of various shapes and sizes
-for the iPad I used two J-hooks and two D-hooks available in a multi-hook kit.
Edit: Here is my instructable!
iPad Optimized Kitchen Pegboard – More DIY How To Projects
How to Make a Toy? - instruction by Sangyun Han
The brief:
The set of instructions will include step-by-step images illustrating how a person should construct the case and put together the electronic components. There will also be instructions on air-brush painting techniques and ways in which individuals can use the final product to have fun.
The object will focus on a shell casing, painting and assembly of the casing. The casing must include mounting bosses for assembly. The casing must encompass an electronic, mechanical, or electrical component. The finished object will be a toy. The choice of target user is an important aspect that influence materials, color, complexity, and safety aspects of the assembly.
The design should be innovative and playful. The design will be created using Solidworks and produced, mainly, by using the 3D Printer. The parts produced will then be hardened, sanded, painted, and detailed prior to assembly. Paint will be applied using an airbrush to simulate a plastic finish to the prototype. The finished product will be a functioning prototype.
Target User:
People who want to create unexpectedly funny situations for others.
