DIY Herb Garden
Put those empty wine bottles to use!
If you like to decorate you home, exterior and interior, then try out this DIY project using empty wine bottles. Most of the things you need for this project are probably in your garage, so there isn’t much to it.
Enjoy!
The first episode of HomeMade Modern shows how to make a hanging herb garden from wine bottles and copper tubing. This web series was created by FreeGreen.com founder Ben Uyeda as a way to share affordable design ideas.
How to Of The Day: Swiss Army Key Ring
The cure jingling keys!
Most people have to keep track of at least a few keys. The easiest way to do that is to just keep them all on one key ring. But the more keys that you have, the more they fan out on the ring. If you have a lot of keys, then your key ring can get pretty bulky and impractical to carry in your pocket. Here is an alternate design for holding and organizing your keys that is a little more efficient.
The design of this key holder is very similar in construction to a Swiss Army Knife. The keys are arranged on two parallel bars. Each key can be rotated into the handle for compact storage and rotated back out for use.
A Stick That Goes “Boom”
Good old fashioned American ingenuity.
Enjoy!
With what looks like an old shower rod, a man has configured a homemade shotgun, “pipe gun or zip gun,” or whatever you want to call it. By way of the video, the creator “Kip” shows us that the single-shot shotgun is made up of two pieces: a barrel and receiver. And he also demonstrates how it works:
In the video, Kip pulls out the barrel, loads a shotgun shell into the chamber (the one end of the barrel) and then inserts the barrel into the receiver. To fire he thrusts the barrel rearward, which pushes the shell toward a fixed firing pin. Once the primer is pierced the shell is fired, sending shot downrange.
In the video Kip explains that his homemade shotgun is 26 inches long in its entirety, so it complies with his state laws. And he says this configuration is for “extreme situations, survival situations or just simply having fun.”
