After realizing that I rarely play card games, I decided I needed to convert my cards into something else more useful, or at least cooler. Thus, I converted it into a secret compartment. The secret deck of cards has many of the same qualities as a hollow book, but it is smaller, more compact, and less common. Enjoy this instructable, and I hope you like my idea!

When I made some copper pendants (see link below) I wanted to combine them with a bracelet. The next question was whether the bracelet should be made of wood or leather. A difficult decision.... I couldn’t choose so I made both. In this instructable I will show you how. I am not a professional and this is the first time I bent a copper plate. I first did a leather bracelet and I was not satisfied with the camber of the copper plate (step 14) The second time (the copper plate on wooden bracelet) I succeeded much better “learning by doing” LOL. The third time I already felt experienced but if you have suggestions on how to improve this instructable, please feel free.
This will be a looooooong instructables so I will try to keep it to the point. Read More Licensed under "CC BY-NC-SA" Wood pens that have been turned on a lathe are awesome. Unfortunately, not everyone owns a lathe (although you can make your own). The Twig Pen/Pencil is a good alternative to a turned pen, and it stills maintains an aura of originality. I got the idea for this project here. I give all credit for the idea to the author who created the aforementioned link.
Note: For this project you don't need a lathe, but you will still need some other basic tools. Read More In this instructable I am going to make a simple table mat from a tree trunk. In fact, it is so simple you can make it with kids, age 7 and up.

Survival tools have been made for centuries. Knives, paracord bracelets, and instant dinners all fall under this category. Sometimes, though we ignore what is plainly in front of us. In this case, the humble spoon.
The "ultimateness" of an object is not necessarily determined by the object itself, but, rather, by the user who wields the object. It is the same in this case. This survival tool, pounded from the dead remains of an old spoon, is a very useful object, but its usefulness depends on the imagination of the user. It can do many things which will be listed later in the Instructable. Enjoy this instructable, and have fun making your survival tool from an old spoon! Note: I want everyone to know that I don't believe this is the "make-all-end-all" tool. In fact, I use the word "ultimate" as a synonym for "awesome." I know that there are many good, interesting, and useful survival tools to enjoy here on Instructables, and I hope you also enjoy mine as an individual, unique survival tool! Read More A neat way to spruce up old board games is to Lego-ify them! In my case, I had a really old Clue board but lost all the pieces to the game. Luckily, I was able to re-create the game in Lego form! If you really want to get creative, check out this version of Lego Clue by Ian Spacek. In this instructable, I will tell you how I created mine, so you can do the same and I will also explain how to play the game.
