I made these cool stylish handles for a chest, using brass door hinges and some wood! All you need is a hinge with enough room for your fingers to pass through. It’s pretty simple when you think about it – but if you fail to think of using hinges for handles, you might completely overlook…
I made this cool light fitting out of a few bits and pieces that I had lying around! When you pull on the light fitting itself, it turns on, and when you pull on it again, it turns off! The light itself is pretty ordinary, it’s just a light fitting – though the one I…
