How to Make a "Missing to Kissing" Puzzle from a
Straw

post from How to of the Day on 11 April 2011 08:33:37 PM. © How to of the Day

This Japanese puzzle represents two separated lovers (the little beads) who wish to be reunited. Their journey begins at opposite ends of the puzzle and it's up to you to reunite them. You can make this puzzle using just a plastic straw, two plastic beads and a piece of string. While it's simple to make, it's fairly difficult to solve! Your objective is to bring them together on one side without untying the string, and let them kiss. For their happiness, they need your help!Note: In honor of the originating author who is from Japan, this article is dedicated to reuniting the missing people with their loved ones.

video details and more

As almost everyone knows, Festool is rather — we?ll call it ?proud? — of their gear. So if you want to put Festool green on display in the shop, it?s going to cost you. However, our friends at HomeFixated are putting on a giveaway that promises to net one lucky-ass winner five assorted sizes of T-Loc Systainer containers for free.

For some, it may be the only Festool-branded items in the shop, but as far as we?re concerned, no matter how you feel about their pricing, free makes them a whole lot more interesting. Add to that the fact the boys in green actually make a quality product. and someone will wind up with a nice payout for commenting on a blog. Just sayin’.

Coin-Sized Forstner Bits

post from Toolmonger: The Week In Tools on 11 April 2011 02:34:28 PM. © Toolmonger: The Week In Tools

Whether you want to build a unique storage case for your coin collection or find a classy way to mark the year you built your woodworking project, you’ll be hard pressed to find the right-sized bit in a regular Forstner bit set. What you need is a coin-sized Forstner bit set.

There may be sets for other countries’ coins out there, but we’ll talk about sets that have bits for the 6 sizes of U.S. coins. The bits for the U.S. coin sizes are more or less as follows:

Pennies: 19.1 mm or 0.751″
Nickles: 21.3mm or .839″
Dimes: 18mm or .709″
Quarters: 24.1mm or .949″
Half Dollars: 30.6mm or 1.205″
Dollars: 26.6mm or 1.047″

Okay, you will find a 3/4″ Forstner bit in most sets, so if all you want to mount are pennies, you probably don’t need any more bits, but the rest of the coins are odd sizes. Many sets come with a depth stop that also holds the bit perpendicular to the surface so you can drill level holes with a hand drill.

Pricing runs anywhere from $25 to $80 for a set of six coin-sized Forstner bits, although sets with the depth stop will run about $10 more than sets without it. You can also pick up individual bits starting at around $8.
