Simple Tutorials: Walking

Hey guys! I thought it would be a good idea to make a mini-series on simple tutorials just for fun. This inspiration came from a close friend of mine, so shout out to her ^_^
Anyways in this series I will be sharing with you basic instructions on simple tasks for your enjoyment! So without further ado, lets get on with the tutorial.

Step 1: Know your goal,
Your goal is to progress and slowly master the art of walking. By keeping your goal in mind you will become a walking master!
Step 2: Prepare.
Prepare for your goal by keeping your mind set on it with no distractions. Planning will result in the best outcome!
Step 3: Get ready.
Have a flat area prepared and your best walking shoes on.
Step 4: Stand.
The first step to successfully walking is by starting the session with a good standing posture. To ensure you have a straight back, try balancing an automobile atop your head. This will signify that your spine is straight and that you may carry on with your preparation for a stride.
Step 5: Begin.
Failure is always acceptable when you are trying to learn a new skill, start off with just picking up your foot and replacing it onto the floor, Repeat this circuit on each leg until you are comfortable with that process.
Step 6: Continue.
Proceed forward cautiously placing your foot in a straight line onto the floor ahead of you. Try maintaining balance so the automobile does not fall off your head.
Step 7: Keep it up!
You can't stop now! This is your real crucial point. Try your hardest to maintain balance and work your way forward through the repeated motion suggested in Step 6.
Step 8: Turns
Turning will require full focus and dedication. Start by placing your outside turning foot at a 45 degree angle towards the way you wish to be turning. Put your inside foot parallel to that and continue walking. Starting off with a smaller angle turn will be easiest, you may slowly start increasing how sharp of a turn you would like to make over time.
Tips:
1. Keep focused and don't give up! Practice makes perfect!
2. Walking while swinging your arms makes you look more human like, so do some of that.
3. By keeping a straight back, you may look professional from the start.
4. Try investing in a good pair of walking shoes. It will increase your performance by a lot.

Cons:
1. You may trip and fall and break your neck.

Pinterest Diy #7

The cutest Diy for a little boy's birthday  (or girls, I don't judge). These adorable Dino plates will have you wanting to decapitate plastic toys! It can be used as a food platter or as storage. In my case, I'm using it as split storage for my loose items. For this project you are supposed to use a hacksaw, but I didn't have a hacksaw at the time, so I just brought out my handy dandy Dremel.

Materials you'll need:

1. A plastic or rubber toy with stable legs

2. A plate or something you would like to attach it to

3. A cutting tool of your choice

4. Hot glue gun or an adhesive to attach the the pieces

5. Something to sand the rough edges of the cut pieces (Optional, if cut doesn't come out entirely clean)

How to Do it!

Step 1: As you may have guessed, gather your materials!

Step 2: Trace a line on the toy that you will proceed to cut out.

Step 3: Split the toy into two down the center 

and sand of any rough edges.

Step 4: Wash the plate and remove all labels. Trace the dinosaur onto the center of the plate to know where to place the hot glue.

Step 5: Whip out your hot glue gun and place glue onto the trace line and press the part down. Do this for both parts of the toy,

Step 6: Let it dry and then place whatever you would like into it!

Step 7: Set it out for display and enjoy!

Another Pendant

Oh look at this. I decided to have another go at making a pendant.
The other day I went to a small electronics recycling shack to recycle some lithium and lead acid batteries. I spotted a nice board once belonging to a server. It had very little copper traces (which I learned to avoid from my last experience), in a decent sized area. So I thought, "Why not try and ask the guy if I could take it." To my surprise he was happy to give it to me, and offered to save all the boards he comes by for me! He was so nice about everything, so expect more posts about making things with boards!

When I got home I noticed there were a lot of capacitors and resistors all over the area I wanted to use. With a hammer and two pliers I was able to take out many of the surface glued parts.

At this point there was nothing more that was possible to take out with a hammer and pliers (they were soldered).

All that was left to do was make the pendant. But to do that, I had to figure out a shape less complex. A rectangle was most likely my best bet. I free handed a rectangle onto a part of the board which had little to no copper deposits

Top left has no deposits

 with a fine tipped sharpie.

Now it was time to cut it out. I take a trip to Home Depot to buy some extra blades, sanding pieces, and an extra mandrel to replace my other one with a stripped screw.

With my safety gear on, I proceed to make 3 straight rough cuts on the drawn lines.

 

After that popped out, I used my new sanding piece to smooth the edges.

Since the Dremel is slightly hard to handle when working with small detailing work, I used a drill instead. I drilled a 5/8" hole for the necklace chain to go through and wore it proudly for the remainder of the day.

That sums up my second attempt at creating a pendant from a board! Thanks for reading <3 Love you all ♥
