Carbon filter for kitchen hood fan ( kbin.social )

My kitchen stove hood fan needs a new carbon filter as the current one lookes pretty caked with grease from the previous owners of the place. It turns out the manufacturers filters cost €150 which I find a bit excessive. Filters seem to be the printer ink of the kitchen....

Fixed my washing machine today!

Today i’m actually proud of myself. I’m good with wood, textiles, gardening, trees etc. But metal, machines, electronics don’t come natural to me at all. I learned to take care of bicycles or chainsaws because I had to but those scary household machines never. Until today. The machine stopped midway, full of water and...

How To Replace Smart Phone Battery ( youtu.be )

Worst DIY Project

So far this is the DIY project I dislike the most. Removing tons of loose styrofoam from my attic. Only doing part of it for now to get access above a bathroom that we’re remodeling. Eventually I’ll remove all of it, seal the air gaps, and probably replace the insulation with blown in cellulose....

I want a couple of devices that could open and close my blackout curtains depending on a schedule or smart home integration. Cheaper to make one or buy one?

They are analog roller shades. I feel like it could be a decent project but my budget isn’t great, so i do want to know if that is something worth DIYing or not. Also I wouldn’t know what micro controller to use....

This is very small potatoes, but I DIY'd a paver stone pad for my trash cans so they'd stop getting infested with bugs. ( beehaw.org )

My wife and I have been complaining about how our trash cans keep getting infested with creepy crawlies that that build nests in the wheels out of the plant debris nearby. I had no idea how go best go about fixing this, so I just did it. I bought ten of these 16x16" paver stones, dug down a little, and used that big ass wood...

Made wheels for my kayak ( lemmy.world )

I took my kayak out this weekend and reminded myself how much I dislike carrying it around so I figured I’d build some wheels for it so I can drag it instead! I pulled it around the patio and it seems sturdy enough.

I tried mending on a whim and this is who I am now ( beehaw.org )

I’m grabbing every favourite piece of clothing I have around the house and mending it with a needle and thread...

A Marimba I built last year - took me a bit over half a year to complete. 61 keys made of Padauk, all hand-tuned, on a frame of Red Oak and Walnut ( lemmy.ml )

Lemmy doesn’t seem to have any popular woodworking subreddits, so I thought I’d post here. Just deleted my reddit account and want to contribute some content here!
