I bought a machine to make yogurt. I thought it would be super easy (stir, pour into machine, wait 10 hours). It turns out to be only easy (boil milk, let it cool to the exact temperature, add starter, pour into machine, wait 10 hours). Easy, yes, but boiling and cooling is kind of a pain.
It turned out a little too runny, so I think I need to increase the time some.
Another batch of homemade donuts. This time I didn't fry them but used a yeast batter to bake just how you would to a normal bread. Turned out salty however. Will make another trial in the future.

My homemade birdbath. The bamboo crosspiece and spout I bought through Amazon but I hooked up a pump to it that is solar powered. I used a couple of old bricks to gain some height and placed some flat flagstone rock and angled them a bit so that water would flow off the front edge. I wanted to keep the water very shallow. The 3 rounded rocks at the point where the water hits is to create bubbles and some 'brook-like' sounds. All of this was placed in a round plastic container on top of an old bird bath I already had.
Hopefully, I'll be able to photograph a hummingbird splashing around in it some day.
Homemade lens - achromatic doublet from a pair of binoculars glued to a cheap Vario shutter and mounted with my HM universal Sinar mount. Approximately 130mm F/8.
I made these fritters for a cheese making class last week, to show some of the things you can do with the simple homemade cheese I was teaching about.
Basically, you make simple acid-coagulated cheese. Then add honey (to taste) and spices (to taste). I used chai spice mix this time -- mostly ginger, cinnamon, and pepper! It ended up with a sort of sweet and nutty flavor.
Then I wrapped spoonfuls of the cheese in won ton wrappers (gyoza, actually), and fried them, and then topped them with sugar. YUM!
This was inspired by a medieval French recipe that basically says to take cheese, wrap in a pastry, fry, and top with sugar.
This weekend's project was building this homemade abolish synthesizer. I got the circuit from Synthrotek.com and used a found game set as my housing. Videos and whatnot on www.docpop.org
I used the motor from a Mantis tiller to make this drill. I can change it back into the tiller if I need to. The drill goes too fast for most bits and I have only have used it on metal. My guess is that on wood the high speed doesn't matter however I don't recall testing it on wood. For larger bits a gear reduction unit is necessary. I have thought that I might make one out of a scavanged drill, buy one or adapt a screw driving attachment. The bracket by the bit was made to hold a shield for an abrasive cutting disk which is held by the chuck. Speed is good for that. The high speed is also good for die grinding bits. As of now this might be be more of a grinder that can drill if necessary except that I would prefer to also have a better drill option. Luckily, since I built this, I almost filled this blank in my tools with 2 DC capable electric drills, a 3/8" and a larger 1/2 " that can run from my portable welders. I might not have gotten them except that they only cost $5 (steel encased Skil brand 3/8"--surplus store) and $10 (steel encased B&D brand 1/2"--garage sale--very nice drill except it is only one speed and no reverse).
Many years ago patterns were sold for Dawn clothes. I got the patterns a whlie back but never got around to making anything. Then a few months ago I found several sets of homemade clothes made from these patterns. These are some of them. :) Left to right, Pippa, a customized curly-haired Emma (by me), and Mandy are all modeling them.
Since Pippa's more of an everyday gal, they look best on her and her friends. I will try modeling clothes on all different kinds of Dawns, Pips, Starrs, etc. so you can see how they look.
I took this while on vacation in July, and stored the dolls & clothes in one of my Dawn cases.
