Weekend Project Roundup

We’ll admit it: we’re total project geeks.  We obsessively read project-oriented websites, often to the detriment of our home life.  But our pain is your gain!  Here are a few projects we saw this week that you might want to check out:

• From MAKE: Make Mousey The Junkbot (Video Podcast) — Based on a project from Maker Faire ’07, this podcast walks you through building your own light-seeking robot from scavenged materials.
• From Instructables: Build Hungarian Shelves — The author of this how-to says he found these easy-to-make bookcases (pictured) in Hungary and claims they were designed by a physicist.
• From Lincoln Electric: Fireplace Doors — Looking for a welding project this weekend?  This how-to from Lincoln includes blueprints and a material list.
• From Craft: How-To Sew Piping — Bust out the sewing machine and let Natalie at Craft teach you how to decorate your next sewing project with piping.

And there’s lots more from these sources and others — this is just a start.  Happy weekend!
