Make a Rope Rings Make versitile rope rings that can be used for camp games, decorative carrying applications, or as rugged accents. A continuous, perfectly round, rope ring can be made by unwinding and rewinding individual strands of a rope without the need for a bulky knot or splice. Whether you use them to secure your Nalgene water bottle to your pack or slip them over your lantern's propane tanks to keep them from banging into each other: Rope Rings can be made on-site and are a nice addition to your camp gear portfolio. Inspiration:I'll bet you didn't know that a diamond tennis bracelet would make a nice Valentine's day gift. Subtle hints from my significant other brought that to my attention as soon as we entered this February season. Who wouldn't rather receive a rustic biodegradable rope bracelet rather than a cold gold one? But this Instructable is not about bracelets... It's a resourceful project that shows how to turn an essential wilderness staple, rope, into a functional outdoor gadget.
Make a 'natural elbow' boomerang For many years I’ve been designing, making and throwing boomerangs. At the beginning my booms were made of plywood, a cheap and easy to handle material – all you need is some plywood, a jigsaw and some sanding paper. Boys grow up, and men always want more. So I wanted to make my projects a bit more exciting and discovered a whole new world: natural boomerangs, or better ‘natural elbow’ boomerangs! Natural elbow boomerangs are made of elbows you can find on almost every tree (you can also use natural ‘Y’s’). Wanna see some other boomerangs? Thanks for watching! Materials To make this kind of boomerang you’ll need the following: - pocket saw - grafting wax - polyurethane glue - manual saw - vice - plane (electric is highly recommended) - jigsaw - sander - sanding paper (from 80 to 600) - safety gloves, goggles & ear plugs - natural oil
Building Machines From Paperclips Several months ago I awoke one morning with an idea for a project. I had gone to bed thinking about a presentation I am going to make to a group of middle and high school technology teachers in a couple of months. I wanted to come up with a simple and inexpensive projects they could use to teach their students some aspect of technology and hopefully inspire their creativity. During the night I dreamed of making machines out of paperclips and this project was born. As for the cost of this project - the wood and paperclips cost me 37 cents. I already had several projects I was working on at the time so I thought about the idea for a couple of months before I actually sat down with a box of paperclips and started trying to make a machine. For educators this project is a great way to teach students the physics of mechanical machines including cranks, levers, fulcrum points, rotary and linear motion all while stirring their curiosity and developing their mechanical aptitude.

Easy Parachute Man I was surprised by how much excitement this little wire paratrooper got. Apparently being able to pose it is a big plus for kids. A good feature about the hands is that when the man gets tangled up in the risers, you can easily remove the cord for an easy untangling. Start by wrapping a section of wire twice around a socket. Next straiten one of the ends directly away from the head while bending the other one perpendicular for an arm. Place the bent wire right up to where the other arm is. Now all that’s left is to shape the hands and feet. File off any sharp edges for safety’s sake.

Exploring Gas with Balloons, Baking Soda & Vinegar Pin It The Lil Divas LOVED, LOVED, LOVED they also adore balloons (I always have to keep some on hand) so I knew they would get a kick out of this one! Exploring Gas w/Balloons, Baking Soda & Vinegar What You Need: baking soda vinegar plastic bottle balloon funnels (we used 2) What To Do: 1. You only need to fill about 1/3 of the bottle. 2. Fill the balloon approx. 1/2 way. 3. Make sure you don't let the baking soda spill into the bottle prematurely. 4. 5. 6. 7. It was lots of fun for the Lil Divas to watch the ingredients combine and form a reaction that was so visual - blowing up the balloon. The science behind it - Baking soda and the vinegar create an ACID-BASE reaction. ** Due to lots of comments left below I feel the need to add (for clarity) that this does NOT produce helium. Go ahead have fun inflating some balloons! Bern
Make a Disc Golf Target Welcome to another outstanding Instructable from Kentucky Bum! In this Instructable I will show you how to build a kick-ass disc golf target. I have seen numerous plans (and even some for sale) but I didn’t care for any of them; too hooky, too flimsy, not robust enough, not weather-proof enough or just poorly designed. None of the parts in most any of these plans are ‘cheap’ by any standard, but if you are going to put something up outside, leave it there and expect to survive against the weather and a never-ending assault of hard, plastic discs it has to have some mass to it. A commercial ‘portable’ target that fits in bag cost $120, a commercial semi-permanent one (all metal with a 4-legged base) will cost $175 and a pro version is gonna cost you about $400. One more note, with the exception of the outer diameter of the ‘basket’ (made from the 55-gallon drum) this target is pretty close to the target specifications shown on the PDGA.com website.
