This thread has been posted to keep up with the great projects posted on instructables. www.instructables.com is an incredible resource if you have the DIY bug. Many of the projects can be had at a fraction of what the retail version goes for. The site has so many new projects for tinkers, it's nearly impossible to keep up!

There has been some references on MR in regards to www.instructables.com, but none seem to address it as a go to thread. Hopefully this will do it. For other threads, you can find some by searching "instructables" in the thread body.

Yeah I always use instructables as a reference for anything I'm building. I built my famous green head light based on a couple of instructables that i read, especially this one http://www.instructables.com/id/Ultimate-Night-Vision-Headlamp---500%2b-lumens-with-/

This blows me away.

It's not very complete, but it's a nice starting point.

BTW I love instructables. The Make blog is good too. And Craft. Lifehacker, hack-a-day, also all good. So many good DIY pieces out there.

Also the sculpting pieces are great. Makes me want to start.
