In this quest for Truth, spanning many centuries and diverse civilizations, organized religion has shaped human life and, to a large extent, has determined the course of history.

Altoids Pincushion Tin Posted on June 18, 2011 Here is my version of an Altoids tin repurposed into a pincushion and sewing gadget box. The materials used in this project were from an Envelope of Doom (EOD) swap I participated in. I was inspired by this Altoids project which used a magnetic sheet on the inside of the lid to hold needles and such. Over at Craftsters Rackycoo’s tutorial is outstanding and has step-by-step photos showing how to decorate your tin. I hope my swap partner will enjoy her recycled Altoids tin as much as I did creating the little sewing box. Tags: Altoids, pincushion, recycled-crafting, tin

The standard Quik House offers 2,000 square feet, three bedrooms and two and one-half baths, though larger options are also available. The shell assembles within just one day, and all the interior details can be finished within about three months. The Quik House comes in two colors (orange or natural rust bloom), and the estimated total cost, including shipping and assembly, is $184,000.

Would you believe that all the blue is precisely the same shade of blue, instead of there being some light blue bars and some dark blue bars? There are endless variations of this color contrast illusion, which is sometimes called the Munker-White Illusion and sometimes the Bezold Effect. When the shades involved are black, white and grey the same illusion is called White's Illusion. If you are skeptical about there being only one shade of blue, click here. A good interactive version of this illusion can also be found here, on a site which collects many very nice illusions. The classic example of the Bezold Illusion or Bezold Effect is shown above; the bricks are essentially identical in both images, but where the mortar is black the bricks appear to be brighter shades of red, as compared to the otherwise identical image where the mortar is white. How about ending with a variant? Prof.
Project: Wooden Salt Cellar By Mark Frauenfelder A couple of years ago I whittled a wooden spoon as a thank-you gift for our family friend Valerie, who was my daughter’s elementary school art teacher. Valerie appreciated it so much that my wife asked me to make another wooden gift for Valerie’s upcoming birthday. I thought about it for a while and decided that a salt cellar would not tax my meager skills. For a PDF of this project, visit the build page on Make: Projects. Materials & Tools Wooden branch, about 3″ in diameter Workbench Saw Drill with bits Dremel tool Sandpaper Snap-blade utility knife Beeswax Directions Step 1: I started out with a branch that had fallen off a tree in our backyard. Step 2: I sawed off a 3″ section of the branch, using a miter box. Here’s the piece I used for the salt cellar. Step 3: I put the biggest drill bit I had into my drill press and started drilling a bunch of holes into the wood. Step 5: The above steps took fewer than 20 minutes to complete.
