What is a good summer project for a 15 year old? I'm 15 years old, and a hip injury has stopped me from doing sports for awhile. I was looking at this site called instructables for something to do, but most of the things there could be completed in a day or two. I have quite a bit of technical knowledge[using tools, woodworking, engines, etc] and I was wondering what would be a good challenging project. It needs to be kind of hard, otherwise it's not fun. I was thinking about building one of those hovercrafts that go ten feet above the water, but I have no idea what that really requires. Let me know!

Directions: Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.?The Station Bench? Directions: Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.? The Station Bench I was twelve when I really started learning about time. I spent a week during my summer vacation building a bench with an older boy named Tony. The bench now sits near the train station in my hometown. Whenever I return, I drive to the station to watch weary commuters collared by time sit on the bench and observe life passing by. Tony was my grandparents’ neighbor. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I was more interested in spending time with Tony than in spending time with my grandparents. Tony had a real talent for woodworking, and he had a set of tools that looked ancient yet perfectly at home in his young hands. The bench we built was made entirely from an old moss-covered walnut log we found behind Tony’s woodshed. We spent the last three days of my vacation scrambling to complete the bench. Countless times I told Tony and my grandfather, who would pop in to check our progress, that we didn’t have to finish right away. But my grandfather would have none of that. He grew up in an era in which time and resources were precious and counted in lives and lost opportunities, not in days, hours, or minutes. In this respect, Tony and my grandfather were alike. Tony seemed wise beyond his years, as if he held answers and secrets deep within him. We had no plans, no pictures to go by. Tony envisioned the bench and then went to work. “Let’s mill the log into planks, Jess,” Tony commanded. “We’ll rip the boards to width and cut them to length.” I learned a new language and how to see the uniqueness within common objects. We planed planks into smooth rails and elegant slats. We cut joints that were tight and strong. I like to think now that Tony and I were joined that week, not only by the common goal of finishing the bench, but also by something much stronger than any joint cut with a saw or chisel. Parched and tired, we took periodic breaks. “Jess, go fetch a couple pops from da ‘frigerator,” Tony would bark. We’d sip the cold, fizzy liquid and yell like kids at neighbors and passing cars. Occasionally the summer air was punctuated by roaring motorcycles. “Whooooo, boy, Jess” he’d yell at me. “That’s the motorsickle fer me.” We finished the bench and it sat in my grandparents’ garage for some time. They eventually donated it to the town. Tony, I learned, had joined the army. Only recently did I learn why he never returned to claim the bench. Today, I tell my son about Tony and how we built the bench. I show him Tony’s tools, which I now have, with handles worn dark and hard from the hands of a boy who ran out of time. And together we search old woodsheds for another moss-covered black walnut log with a secret buried within. 1. In what ways were Tony and the narrator's grandfather alike?

I would like step-by-step instructions on making a VERY LARGE cork bulletin board.? Please- no suggestions about where to buy one (I am making this about 6' square, it simply has to be custom). Please, no suggestions about knitting a felted square, or making a fabric-covered ribbon board (this is not for a 6 year old girl's bedroom). Please, no suggestions about a decorative wine cork thingy- this is not for kitchen decor. I specifically want to use cork, so please no suggestions about using fuzzboard or steel and magnets, or whatever. I would appreciate some serious answers here from crafty/woodworking people! We do have a decent amount of tools in our home, although nothing large and permanent like a table saw or jigsaw! Thank you! Again, I would like step-by-step instructions. I know that you can buy self-stick 12x12 cork tiles. Not helpful. "Just make a frame and get a backing"= not helpful because it doesn't answer the question H O W? There are businesses that do nothing but framing- why? There must be more to making a frame than just "making a frame"- you know, like instructions. What do I use for backing? How do I affix it to the frame? Or do I only attach it to the cork? Etc etc...

Establishing a toolkit as a gift? My boyfriend had expressed interest in getting a nice barn full of tools some day. He mentioned how much he wanted to do mechanical things and some woodworking. I know Craftsmen is expensive, but with the lifetime guarantee, i'm thinking maybe its the way to go. CConsidering that we typically only spend about $100 a year on each other... what are the most important, most useful tools that every man should have? i am a girl, so before you answer this, consider how thorough you're going to have to be for me to figure out what you'r talking about. I'm thinking that for the next few years worth of holidays i'll just buy him craftsmen tools. what sizes? english or metric? Please let me know what you think.... if you were a 23 year old male, would this be a good gift for you?
