Another nice metal brake build
I like this build. Its doable with hand tools. Simple overall build too. https://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Sheet-Metal-Brake-No-Welding/
Interesting solar water heater
Interesting build, It cycles cold thru the bottom, which gets heated up and then “steam” out side. https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Solar-Water-Heater/
Convert an average briefcase to a Scamanders Case
Harry Potter fans know what this is. I like the build cause it shows that you can change the color on a leather briefcase. http://www.instructables.com/id/Newt-Scamanders-Case/
Ping Pong light build
I like this one better than others since the author secures the ball onto the light with a slightly smaller hole and a slot in it. Most other builds you have to gluegun the ball on. http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Ping-Pong-Ball-Lights/
Nice looking Bose like portable speaker
Nice build, I like how the author lists out the components and they are all mostly “plug and play”. http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Bose-Soundlink-Mini-Clone/

Interesting take on building a drill holder from PVC pipe
I did something like this, but I cut out the slot, the author cuts a “T” into the pipe, then heats it up to bend out the ends. Looks nicer too. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Cordless-Driver-Holder-From-PVC-Pipe/
Make a cheap Electroscope for teaching
This is a good build for doing with kids about static electricity. http://www.instructables.com/id/Uber-Cheap-Electroscope-for-Teaching/

Zip ties, old laptop power supply, and chicken wire and you have a fan system.
Oh and a bunch of leftover PC fans. As the author points out, make sure you have enough power from the supply to power all the fans. http://www.instructables.com/id/Scrap-Computer-Case-Fans-Reused-for-Hot-Sunny-Day/
Turn your old filament spools into storage containers
I think I saw this a few months ago. Its a good idea if you have spare filament and a 3D printer big enough to do this. Creating Modular Storage out of Used Filament Spools

Solar water distilling
This has to be the simpliest one yet. Only issue I see is getting the water out when its “clean” without accidently mixing the two. http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Solar-Water-Distiller-Simple-Solar-Water-Disti/
