Handmade/Crafty DIY Projects - A Curated Compilation Post Showcase

My A-Frame chicken tractor

"When we got our first baby chicks here, they lived in a large plastic tote under a heat lamp. Knowing that we would soon need someplace outdoors for them, I scoured the internet looking for free plans that would suit our purposes, and I quickly found the Backyard Chickens website, which is full of useful information for raising chickens, including several sets of plans for chicken enclosures. Of course, I could have designed the whole thing myself, but I've found that it is usually much faster to spend about 1/2 hour looking for plans that I can modify to my needs, as opposed to 4-6 hours to draw up something like this myself. The plans I used for this build can be found here. We wanted to start out with a tractor because we weren't sure if we would be able to let them free range safely, and wanted to be able to move them around the yard if not."

Details to give away

"Children are very excited about Christmas, since it is the time when they receive the most gifts. That is why today I want to give you an idea to give to the smallest of the house and why not, to an adult too. It is a small, but very significant detail to give away from a reindeer named Rodolfo who, according to Christmas mythology, pulls the magic sleigh with which Santa Claus travels the world delivering Christmas gifts at night December 24th. Of the nine reindeer, he is the last to join Santa's sleigh, but he is also the most popular for his distinctive red nose."

DIY Game of Thrones House Stark Shield and Ice Sword

"Hello friends of Hive I hope you are very well and that you are preparing to end this year that has not been good for many things. But in spite of everything we keep going. Today I want to show you what I might see in my last job of the year. A shield of the House of Stark from the Game of Thrones series and the sword of Ice that Ned Stark wielded. Of all the houses and their stories this was the one that most caught my attention, the lineage and the wars they lived through. I made this shield in miniature using wood and the spada I made using soda can. I hope everyone and more like those who saw this fabulous series."

A New Big DIY Project: The Second Venezuelan Cuatro. Entry #5

" It is time to reinforce the back. This is another topic which has many variants and it depends in the luthier’s creativity and materials at hand. Nowadays, you can see different shapes being made with the bars and you can the middle bar in sections, instead of having one piece along the joint. This 2-bar design is common in cuatro construction. It is generally changed to 3 or other shapes when a musician asks for something specific."

Gifts with great creativity

"Customers always have a liking for us. In our family business this year we did not stop, we received many blessings. One of the gifts received was a Christmas tree, which we admired for a while. It was moving to see the entrepreneurs with their creations."
