Yay! Yesterday I was wondering whether I can come up with something to use my Wave with, but I forgot to take into consideration that life is weird and full of surprises.
So here it is. The big headlight belongs to my father's bicycle when he was a kid. Somehow the thing lived up to today (is this the right expression?) and had been collecting dust. I decided to put an LED spot inside and combine it to an old old metal tripod from my grandfather. I hope I'm not boring you with too much family stuff :)

In the photo you can see me remove that screw at the bottom of the housing. I'm gonna use that hole to run the cable coming from the wall plug  to the LED.


FYI! About yesterday's post. The flush system IS working pretty fine lol. I didn't expect that, frankly. If it keeps working like this we're gonna return the new flush mechanism -that still is sitting in its box- since it's not needed anymore  :D :D

 Very good uses buddy :cheers: Just a few more days and you have this challenge :tu:

It is quite annoying when a pistachio does not let you eat it. For moments like this brute force is necessary and Mr. Wave is happy to provide us with some  :D

Exactly! The amount of pressure you apply on the pliers is of great importance here. You press down with too much force and you have a pistachio powder on the couch  :D You apply too weakly and people around you mock you, saying you cannot even open a pistachio. It's a difficult task, really.  :D :D   :facepalm:

Can't believe it's been 28 days already, wow...

This morning, I wanted to test the head light I've shown 2 days ago and needed to open up a power socket to make the wire connection. Thank you, Mr Wave, once again, for giving me a hand when I needed it  :tu:

Holy crap, one day remaining!!!  :ahhh :ahhh 8)

So, well... Cut one head and two more... Umm, sorry that was Hydra. Well, yeah, needed to convert a silly "lidded" (can I say that?) box to a case with no lids or anything in order to store stationary items like scissors, erasers, staplers etc. I know that cutting paper damages the sharpness of a blade in a negative way but this also gives me a reason to sharpen my blade  :D Again, thank you, Mr Wave!  :tu:

Photo(s) #30 :)

Well, there it is. For the final post I have two photos. The first one is the real action photo I took today: If you are too broke and stingy to purchase an Ikea bookshelf and too self-confident (:facepalm:) that you can build one from scratch, you need your Wave, too. Why? Because you are too lazy to pick up the flat-head screwdriver in the next room and reach out for your MT instead  :D BTW I do not recommend such a project if you do not have a drill press. Using a regular hand-drill gives you a pretty bitchy result, especially when you want the end-product to be well leveled :(

And the other photo, I owe that to Kevin. Cheers mate :)  :cheers:

This is a happy morning! I would say "morning glory" but I guess that would have a different meaning?  :think:  :D

I enjoyed it, too :) Well, guess this is like getting off a boat. You know, you are back on land after a boat trip but you still feel the waves and the up-and-down-motion even while walking? Or tattoos. They say one tattoo is never enough, so is the second and the third etc :)

Let's see...

There's this Paracord Knot Badge which looks appealing. Though, there are already a lot of knot tying videos on the web, I mean, I'm not sure how one can deliver fresh and new content. Whichever knot I choose, I'm sure there are already a bunch of videos showing each step. So... Umm, how? :)
