I love to build things, but also love to use power tools! As a result, I've amassed quite a collection of homemade toys and creations. Some have stood the test of time and are in my garage, though many have become garbage via my parents. Many of those things were made early on, and don't really deserve pictures anyway.

	Card Houses Some pretty big card houses I've built, many of which from a book called Stacking the Deck.			Lego Models I've always been a fan of Lego. Here are some models I've designed and made. Most of the images were made with POV-Ray and ML-CAD.
	iPod dock 3 Another (but doubtfully final) dock for my iPod. More capability! Better construction! Still cheap!			LED Bike Light I wanted a cheap, small, long-lasting bicycle headlight. Seeing as those three conditions are never simultaneously met by manufacturers, I made my own.
	Laptop Painting The back of my IBM Thinkpad was outrageously boring, but I amended that.			Digital Picture Frame One of my favorite projects so far--converting an old laptop into a picture frame to show off my digital pictures.
	iTrip Range Increase Mod Listening to your iPod in your car is nice, but the static isn't. Follow this how-to and increase the clarity of your music.			Tensegrity Coffee Table This build was found online, and utilizes tensegrity (tensile + integrity) to hold up a piece of glass (and itself).
	"Portable" iPod "Speakers" Hmmm...I guess we work with what we are given. Not something I am too proud of.			Lego Brick Flash Drive These flash drives are just begging to be put in things. A lego brick seemed to be the obvious choice here.
	Mini Cooper Flash Drive It's a Mini flash drive. No, its not small, it's Mini. Oh, nevermind.			T.V. Oscilloscope Found this how-to online and had to try it. It turns out you need only to move 4 wires and add an audio jack for a T.V. to be an audio visualizer.
	Bottle Rocket Launcher PVC + fireworks + realistic paint job = really cool looking bottle rocket launcher.			Enhanced iPod Dock Take two on my wooden iPod dock. This one has audio out and charging capabilities.
	iPod Stand I had some extra aluminum laying around the workshop, so I threw together this nice holder for my iPod.			.iPod Battery Pack The plans for this Altoids power tin have been circulating the web, so I just made one for myself. Charges an iPod via 12VDC.
	Model Fuel Station This is my second model, with no instructions this time. I especially like the weathered, old effect.			Wooden iPod Dock Shell out a small fortune for an ipod dock? I don't think so. This one's made from wood (read "better")
	Model House This was a really fun project. It was made from instructions, but it showed me quite a few model-building secrets.			Coin Rings Most excellent rings made from ordinary coins. The process is simple and elegant.
	Compressed-Air Marble Gun A somewhat dangerous build here...this gun shoots marbles or mini marshmallows at near c.			Potato Cannon My potatoes were moving much too slow, so I build this spud launcher. That sped them up quite a bit.
	Ramps I made some pretty solid skateboard ramps a while back with some friends of mine. These are the best of them.			Wooden Swords These I made from old yard stakes. They are pretty easy to make, and really only need decorations to make them look like swords.
