    Most of the things I submit are more in the form of ideas rather than finished, polished projects. Although I usually show a completed item, the real thrust is for the reader to take the ideas that my project suggests and run with them on his own. After all, that's what homemade ingenuity is all about.

    I get lots of requests for plans. Some of them are downright silly. For example, this one...

    http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/t...entifier-34046

    has 14 requests for plans. Even if I wanted to construct a plan, of what would it consist?

    Drill hole sized to diameter of rivet in key.
    Coat rivet with glue.
    Insert glue-covered rivet in hole.
    Allow glue to dry.

    The whole idea is for folks to learn to make things themselves. You're not going to learn any skills without devising your own plans for how to build something.
