Hey guys, summer is here and i am wondering if you can suggest some fun projects to try. I am thinking of making a hollowed out book sometime. Any other cool projects like that?

Now, assuming OP isnt fishing for hate, I personally like the idea of a hollowed out book, Ive always wanted to try it. Just take a look around the boards, there are plenty of great threads here, particularly the lighbulb terrarium one. Lately Ive been fixing shit around the house, like my DVD player which had a few indented buttons. Im also working aon a backlit GBA player made from an old phat DS

The hollow book is pretty solid. I've already made one and I'm on making a second and third. They take a lot of time to make (between 7 and 10 hours of solid page carving depending on how straight you want the edges to be and how deep the book is)

I use it to hold my Kindle (I know, bring on the hate) and if you measure the dimensions and get a large enough book, you can form fit if to almost anything for protective carrying

Also, if you think the book is going to get a lot of handling (I keep the book in my backpack) put some velcro on it so it doesn't come undone every 10 minutes like mine does.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 10 21:43:56 2012 No.233021 Bump! I made 2 hollow books a year ago.
