Nice corner clamp build
Nice build for picture frames or other items like it. Me, I bought some cheap clamps at Harbor Freight that do the job for me. But I would love to have a set as nice looking as these. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/quick-corner-clamp-video-80892?homelistings#post164063

Nice stand for a bench grinder

Nice rug build, maybe good for cosplay armor
Nice looking build, now this would not work for real armor as you need some overlay on each piece, but it looks cool and could make a good costume based armor. https://www.instructables.com/id/Wooden-Bear-Skin-Rug-Moves-Like-Real-Cloth/

Make LED buttons
The author basically takes an LED from a strip, puts it into a 3D printed button holder, and wires it in. Nice build and if you have leftovers from a strip of LEDs too. https://www.instructables.com/id/Fabric-LEDs/
