Turning a toy into a Kegerator bar gun

Fsxjjubm7Gep306E3Z
Unabill writes "An inexpensive "Soda Fountain Pro" toy from Target is converted into the agoraphobic alcoholic's dream gear: a home-use Bar Gun. With two buttons on the gun, this enables you to automatically dispense any two-beverage combo. This project requires a CO2 system - making it the perfect add-on project for someone already outfitted with a kegerator. Dispense shots like a madman, mix drinks while you are dispensing them, or even use it for (gasp) actual soda dispensing." - Link.

6V Ultra-Bright LED chaser

6V Ultra Bright Chaser Pic3
Audioguru writes "his is a spectacular but completely useless project. It lights Ultra-Bright LEDs in a sequence and each LED flashes brightly very briefly. The LEDs light-up going around and around since they are mounted in a circle (on a CD), then they pause before chasing again. The very brief flash of each LED (15ms) and the pauses (1 second) reduce the average current so the battery should last a long time." - Link.

Machining titanium and stainless steel jewelry

Fdte8Hlrheep306Fuc.Medium
32768 writes "Jewelry for body piercing is expensive and can be hard to find, particularly if you need an unusual or large size. I go through the steps of machining a barbell style piece from scratch. This project includes many operations typical of small scale machining on a lathe including facing, turning down, drilling, tapping, and polishing." - Link.
