New remote control dimmer switch

Just installed a remote control dimmer switch in my bedroom. It only uses one button on the remote leaving 7 open for other automation projects that i will be working on soon hopefully.

The Cork Board!

I got the bug this weekend and I had to make something, and since I had a collection of corks that my grandmother had given me, I decided to do something with those. It is straightforward, just corks glued to a piece of plywood but I think it looks cool and can double as a bulletin board. 

Next step is to build a frame for it. And take a picture of it without the sockets in the shot.

Thought that I would show off this new lens that captures serious depth!

Panda's New Cage

I just upgraded my hamster's cage. I felt that the old one was too small for her. She definitely outgrew it. So here are a couple of photos and a video.

I had to cut the hole to connect her tube myself, in this first picture that's what she is climbing out of.

A new track over on my soundcloud page.
It's a little bit unfinished but I haven't been getting time to work on this stuff much recently and I got impatient and wanted to upload it.

My first instructable!

I wanted to give back to the instructable community (it did, after all, have a major influence on me and what i like to do), and while I was working on building a clock for my bedroom I saw my opportunity.

My first instructable is on a quartz clock with binary numbers. The site itself inspired the idea as there are many instructions to build actual binary clocks, and this is just a different take on it.

The instructable can be viewed here.

And for good measure here is a photograph of the completed clock:

It's almost round! as best I could do by hand, anyway.

Rolling Stones Stencil on Duct Tape

I love the rolling stones, and as since my most frequently used paint colours are black, white and red, I am constantly finding myself with the desire to paint their logo. So I did. the results:

It is sprayed on to a sheet of duct tape that I made especially for the logo and then pinned up onto a door for photography purposes.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Here is a picture of my dog as an angel:

Also I will take the opportunity to show off the gift that I made for my Jess this Christmas:

It is a ~35cmx35cm tile portrait.
I went down to the local tile shop, picked up 9 white tiles. Then, I decoupage glued tissue paper with a photo-shopped image printed onto it to each tile. I then mounted it onto a board that I had just painted black. and voila! Tile portrait. The red of Jess's glasses didn't turn out as vibrant as I would have liked, but I'm pretty pleased with it nonetheless.
