Adjustable push block for table saw
Nice build, a bit more fancier than what I need. Still a nice build. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/adjustable-push-block-table-saw-86871?homelistings#post186880

Interesting buggy drawn cart
OK its really driven by the rear wheels, but it looks like the front legs are moving the cart.

Cool looking clock build
A digital clock that is mostly mechanical. They author is using an ESP to control it too. https://www.hackster.io/news/charlie-sheen-helps-design-a-seven-segment-mechanical-clock-ef53a129e114
PVC made CNC
Its a plotter/laser engraver build. Overall pretty clever build. Reminds me of the little CNC’s made 10 years ago with iron pipe. https://www.instructables.com/P-CNC-Laser-Engraver-and-Pen-Plotter/

Make the lady gaga sound active mask
Nice build overall, a bit pricey since it uses several colored, addressable, LED displays. Also could be a bit of weight to wear on ones face. Uses an ATiny for a controller. https://www.instructables.com/Lady-Gaga-Cosplay-Making-the-LED-Matrix-Mask-From-/
Nice $10 RPi clone comes with a built in display
Pretty neat clone, it has a built in display and is like a RPI Pico. The issue I have with clones like this is support can be a bit spotty, and not very long term. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-alternative-gets-a-screen

An arduino powered haunted pumpkin

Nice Robot gripper
This one uses belts to pull and grip objects.
Another porch pirate preventor build
This time from a Canadian, who tried to build a prevention instead of the revenge based ones. I like the logic he put in to determine if a package was dropped off and to arm the system. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-package-security-system

POT to PWM controller
Using an ATiny no less, bascially you turn the POT, and a PWM comes out to control the motor speed. Good for DC based motors. It also has a nice small footprint. https://www.instructables.com/Poti-PWM-Control/
