Instructables of the Day:

Today we have an epic project, I would love to see someone follow in his footsteps but it doesn't seem likely.

We Make because we must.

We share because it's the right thing to do.

Not because droves of followers will gather behind us.

Sexy 6 axis Robot Arm Build

Second we have an easier project that may help you build the larger..
$30 Precision PCB Drill

Drilling holes in PCBs is always a challenge, here's a drill press using a pneumatic die grinder to help. I would take the $30 part with a humongous grain of salt, starting from scratch it looks like at least $50 to me..

Instructables of the Day:
Maker Station Portable Folding workbench:

I love this creation, a versatile portable workstation (with a light!)(and Power)(Built In!) that can fit in a trunk when folded.

Tea light cup warmer

This is such an elegant and functional project. Keep you drink toasty using the power of combustible wax.

(of course #1 on my list for elegant and functional are big chunky pieces of aluminum (brass is #2))

Turn a Bandsaw into a cutoff saw

This instructable is unfortunately mostly a video. he builds an aluminum pivot to turn his bandsaw into a cut-off band saw. Its a nice project made out of Shiny Aluminum :)

Cross hole drilling in round stock:

I know what your thinking, this is dead simple. It's actually not at all. Many times something that seems simple becomes incredibly hard when you need it to be precise.

I once had a method for achieving this, my material had nice straight lines down the length.  after I drilled a dozen or so holes I realized. Those nice straight lines twisted about 20 degrees along the length, Oops!

This looks super handy, I can't name how many times I've had all my tools in the trunk but no place to actually work on something. Would have really worked well with my CRX.
