My husband's new desk was the last thing I put together. It took under 3 hours and is a 5 foot long desk with drawers. It's the exact same desk I have here in the family room so we know it's stable even though it's a Sauder brand product. It looks good and functions well too so it's worth the $250 price tag, even though it looks like it should cost much more. I'm the one around here who can read those directions and figure things out.

Yesterday afternoon I framed a stud wall. I had my wife help me hold the top bar against the ceiling so I could screw it in place without it moving, then built the rest of it over the course of an hour or so. The bottom bar across the floor is easy - I can stand on that to stop it moving. Then it's just a question of cutting studs to length, getting them into position, screwing them into place, and placing the offsets so I know where to put the next stud.

I would have built more wall but I ran out of studs.

A circuit to run small electric engines at varying speeds turning a piece of magnetic material next to a coil with a ferrite core. I also wound the coil myself.
