/diy/ - Do It Yourself

another angle of the bottle. It's been "roughed" up, seeing as it's supposed to be 200+ years old lol

My significant other would love this. How'd you do it?

Heres the rest of the Fallout set. Needed a christmas present for my vidya brother, so figured a memorabilia set would do just fine. Hell of a lot of fun to build as well!

the Mentats & Fixer were probably my two favorite from the set, as they were made from old Altoids tins. They're durable enough to continue their lives as mint tins as well!

nEAT

Your ready for the mojave.

Burned & sanded the bottom label to remove the old Altoids insignia

The Fixer was a nice setup, but never used it much in-game, so just don't have the love

Im a little critical of the caps, but they turned out sufficient I believe. Just learned of a company by the name of Bottlemark which prints caps for 12 cents/cap. Interested in utilizing this idea for personal jewelry & such in the future!

The posters are pretty swell, but an easy job obviously. Applied an acrylic clear coat on them, just to add a little extra gloss though.

How did you make the Mentat tin?

OH. My. GOD. I absolutely adore those!

Last but not least in the set, an emptied bottle of Sarsaparilla. Considered including a blue star cap, but didn't find any blue paint around the house :/ oh well.

Cool thanks. Now I have a nifty container for my caffeine pills.

Delicious seasonings.

Was going to jazz up the lids with painted monograms or something, but we kind of enjoy the lackluster look of our babyfood and sharpie spices :D

Build this damn thing for my mother-in-law. In my mind it looked like a folksy birdfeeder. What I got was a suspended mess of cutlery and dishware.

The interior is still pretty ingenious though. I cut and pinned curved pieces of soda can to the feed holes to prevent birdseed from simply pouring out.

I've one project I'd like to post, but my sister is known to lurk /diy/ and /b/, so unfortunately go to bed emily. Instead, a picture of my toybox.

Found an old toolbox at the local Goodwill. The Cummins Corporation keeps this city alive, so I'd assume its some poor workin' mans tool box. Keeps my dremel and assorted adhesives together for now!

I've also got an assload of corks if anyone has project ideas. We have a 6 paned mirror in our kitchen, was thinking of filling one pane with corks for a little corkboard addition

Pretty sweet

>>90684
How are those attached to the wall?

>>91441
Magnets my friend.

>>90684
I'm going to guess you dont live in california....

Any minor earthquake/tremor would knock those off onto the floor. Hopefully you wont have to run out of the kitchen...

Unless...Earth magnets?

Not earth magnets, the silver button magnets (forget what material). They're on there strong though.

>>91569
How do those work?

>>91441

corkboard bathmat. someone posted instructions here the other day, so odds are, lurking to page 15 will help you find it. pretty good idea, too, as cork is incredibly absorbent.

>I see what you did there.

>>92048
Absolutely not, why would you assume that?

I just roughed the glass a bit and adhered them with gorilla glue
