Here's a quick and dirty picture-hanging project I found on Instructibles: It's basically 1/8" braided steel wire, some various parts that I can't remember the names of off hand, and some small neodymium magnets. Also, blurry cameras.

The right side, with the thingy to adjust the tension. You can see the extra magnets hanging there, too:


Left side, just a screw eye and clamp:


Overall picture of the finished project:


It was pretty easy to put up. I had the wire cut at Home Depot into equal lengths, and mounted the screw eyes straight to the drywall.

Bonus picture - CD covers are fun to make for Mix CD exchanges!

Did you make the image for the threadless shirt?

Wish it wasn't only in baby sizes.

No, I'm not that cool. I snagged both images from a Post Your Backgrounds thread not too long ago, and edited them to jewel case liner size.

Boatload of fun

That's sweet, my flatmate and I were talking about building a small boat this summer, and took a look at some designs for small houseboats. Did you make or buy the pontoons?

Everything is designed and built from scratch, by amateurs, and all wood, except for the copper plating on the bottom (and the fastners, and enough 5200 to build a a boat of nothing but glue).

The pontoons are built from 4x8 3/4" ply.

Man, that's huge. If you don't mind, how many people are working on it, how much money have you put into it, and what are the rough (length, width, height) dimensions? Maybe you can make a starter thread and update it when it's done in a couple years. :)
