Do It Yourself

Let’s hear all about your progress. Don’t disappoint your judgmental internet buddies!

I’ve had this Vax upright for about 5 years. Recently it’s started to cut off when I’m using it. I feel the base - and it’s hot. Any ideas for anything that I can do to fix it?...

I have an ancient and rather ugly office chair which I love to pieces. Unfortunately, on Thursday morning, the chair attempted to make that literal, as I sat down and heard a nasty splintering sound.

My children are interested in making their own soap. I bought one basic piece of white soap and I have cocoa powder. I plan to melt and mix them slowly. Am I doing this right?...
