Nice PC fan build
I like this fan build. Only interesting bit was the author build his own PWM controller. Which I think you can pick up pre-made for a few dollars more than the parts. https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Cordless-Table-Fan-From-Scrap/
Nice looking mini lathe build
Rather sharp looking lathe build. Not so sure I would make one from plexi-glass, but it does look nice. The author even designed and make his own motor controller. More work than I would have done (just would have gotten … Continue reading
Building a scout birdhouse
Pretty simple design and build. Me…most birdhouse builds are from scraps so are limited to shape based on those scraps. https://www.instructables.com/id/Cub-Scout-Birdhouse/

Interesting wire/tube splicer
Will have to add this one to the things to build. With a few adjustments. I do strip wire and split tubes and usually use a utility knife to do so, this makes it much easier to do. https://cdn.instructables.com/FJ4/8KVN/JS0OSYMV/FJ48KVNJS0OSYMV.LARGE.jpg?auto=webp&width=800

Nice clock build
I like the clock build, plus you can customize it. Only thing is the LED strip used is a bit pricey. https://www.instructables.com/id/MirrorClock/
Bump stops for your CNC
The free plans are fore an X-Carve, but could be adapted to any CNC. My 2 cents, I was looking at this build and it would be pretty easy to build by hand as well with scrap wood.

Making a Lemon Battery
This would be a fun project with kids. Teach how to pile batteries together to get a higher voltage for example.

Nice write up on making knobs
Only part that adds a bit complexity to this is cutting the t-nut to allow for screws to be placed in to hold them in. Me…I superglue them in. https://www.instructables.com/id/Stupid-Easy-Project-Knobs/

Homemade apple cider press and grinder
Nice build, bit more work than I would take on (unless I had apple trees). https://www.instructables.com/id/Apple-Press-and-Apple-Grinder-on-the-Cheap/#discuss

Turn a drill bit into a Scribe
Good idea for old drill bits that have outlived their use. However…you can pick one up pretty cheap at Harbor Freight, so this is more of a project of love than anything else http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/fast-easy-build-scribing-tool-71376?homelistings#post127060
