Nice pin jig for router table
Nice jig to use to follow a template and make a cut on the undersize of a board. I like this a bit better than some of the other tracer builds I have seen (easier to store too). https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/pin-router-premium-homemade-router-table-77279?homelistings#post150253

Cool CNC plotter robot arm build
Nice build, the author laser cuts all the parts and uses 3 cheap servos to power it. Pretty nice looking build https://www.instructables.com/id/SCARA-Robot-Learning-About-Foward-and-Inverse-Kine/

Using an old innertube to make rubber roses
Maybe a good (and cheap) build for V-day. https://www.instructables.com/id/Recycled-Innertube-Roses/
A ball bearing pick and place machine
The author designed and printed out a robot arm with vacuum to move ball bearings around. Neat build and is more for the classroom than practical purposes.

A spoon based lampshade
Nice lampshade. Not so sure I would put the time into making this, unless I was really hurting for cash (like a college student) and needed something for a light that looked nice https://www.instructables.com/id/Plastic-Spoon-DIY-Lampshade-for-Home-Decor/
Cool robot automated eye build
The author uses a couple of cheap servos, an ardiuno, and a 3D printer to make simple eyes that can move around on there own.

Another nice Lathe build
Bit fancier than I would have built. But still a nice build and the author has plans available. http://www.rcturka.com/wooden-lathe-making-pdf.html
