Here’s one of the easier projects I’ve seen on Make in a while. Take an Ikea “Ivar” ladder, lay it on the floor, and use it as a camera dolly.

    Make a DIY synth. It costs only $50! Auduino is a granular synthesizer built on the Arduino platform. It was designed by Tinker.it! and published under an open source license. I build one and plugged a stylus controller which was ripped from Gakken SX-150. It works very well. Its sound is dry and crispy, but I think it is not bad for $50. Want one? Do It Yourself! More details about Auduino is here: code.google.com

That is why these particular boots have...
