making an outdoor cathouse from a old door. Pain in the ass to saw other than that all is going well researching thermal insulation cos the door has hollow inside. Also adding modules for eating and drinking, All for one nasty feral cat but enjoys our scraps.

Actually, the dirty secret of the folks who do incredible ambitious things successfully: They fail more often than they succeed. But any failure that results in something learned is not completely a failure.

I fuck up all the time, but doing something boring isn't worth doing.

I'm making a replacement headband for my headphones as I wait for boxing day. I was mainly wondering if suguru is actually any good as a moldable sticky putty that dries out or should I get something local like an epoxy or another putty for affixing the new headband.

I just got my professional Arduino Uno kit today. It included a small booklet with 14 projects and all the compoenets needed for the project were included as well. What's stopping me? Fear of failure, fuck.

I never feel like doing the simple projects because they aren't worth my time, but I won't be able to do more advanced things without knowledge and experience gained from simpler projects.

They go alright. I just finished my long-stemmed smoking pipe, and I've got a hunting knife about half-made that I need to finish up.

A lot of projects I can't do because I lack the resources. (I.e. power tools, lathes, drill press, scroll saw, etc.) You'd be surprised at how badly you need a certain piece of equipment when you simply don't have access to it.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 3 18:32:42 2011 No.82483 >>82453 Or, you know, trial and error for more advanced projects. I've had to start over on one of mine a good three times now over two months.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 3 20:00:06 2011 No.82555 >>82479 I once "drilled" my way through 6 or so inches of wood using steel wire and a screwdriver to make a pipe. Slowly.
