Homemade Skee Ball Game
The entire structure is designed to accommodate the size of a golf ball. The plan I laid out uses two 49" by 97" sheets of MDF (one 1/2" thick and the other 3/4").
I also used some 1/4" MDF, a few pieces of PVC, an old plastic mudflap, a piece of used plexiglass, and a handful of other little things.
These photos are of the plans that I sketched out. Many things changed as the project progressed, but you can get an idea where it all started.
Make a Tetris clock out of cassette tapes!
So I've got a serious surplus of old cassette tapes and they just don't get listened to anymore. I don't want to throw them away, so I'll just use them up on various projects like this one!
This is a fun little Saturday afternoon project, and it really only takes about an hour to make.
Tools:
-Glue gun
-Drill
-Hobby knife
Supplies:
-10 cassette tapes (or more or less depending on your clock design)
-A clock kit (Michaels sells these for cheap)
-Various spray paints (I used green, red and blue)

Chinese Dumplings Two Ways With Sichuan Dipping Sauce
We're going to show you how to make Chinese Dumplings two ways. The first is boiled dumplings which ,in this case, are served with Sichuan Dipping Sauce. The second is pan seared style which are usually served plain or with a little light soy dressing. My girlfriend is Chinese and since we've been dating I have learned many Chinese recipes from her. This is one of the more fun ones to make, especially with a group of friends and family.
