Rebuilding a power window regulator (Gen3 Maxima)

This assembly is not made to be serviceable but a cable jam isn't enough reason for me to buy a new one. So here's how I did it :) First, inspect some irreparable stuff. Regulators are made with plastic pulleys, holders, etc... So they are really vulnerable to damages. As you can see, the regulat...

Quick Refresher: How to Clean a Grill

Filed under: Essential Skills, Know-How, Outdoors

If you haven't opened your BBQ since last summer, make sure it's in good shape before busting out the burgers tomorrow. Here's a quick refresher on how to clean a grill (and repair any small snafus).

The Rocketeer, flickr

To clean a grill in the most fuss-free possible, fire up the...oven. The metal cooking grates from your grill can benefit from your oven's self-cleaning cycle. Just lightly brush off any surface dirt from the grates (I like to use aluminum foil wadded up into a ball) and place on top of your oven's racks. Then, turn your oven to self-clean. You'll walk away with clean grill grates (and a clean oven, too).

When you fire up the grill for the first time in months, sometimes stray dirt is the least of your problems. From yellow flames to none at all, check out how to diagnose and treat common grill problems.

Walkie Talkie Camera Trigger

Here's a great MacGyver tip on how to make a remote (very remote) camera trigger using a couple of walkie talkies. This idea came from the desire to take nature photography from a remote location and a unique viewpoint (although we're pretty sure by "nature" the inventor means "women's locker room").

Anyway - a very cool project. Putting together some simple electronics is required. Go find out how to make your own walkie-talkie camera trigger. [via]

Random Recast: Grocery Bags Day 1

Filed under: Crafts, Storage & Organization, Know-How

In Random Recast, we find new ways to use ordinary things. This week: Plastic grocery bags.

Will Taylor, ReadyMade

When is a plastic grocery bag not a plastic grocery bag? When it's used to create a useful (and incredibly sturdy) messenger bag. It's made by quilting together a bunch of plastic grocery bags together. Because you'll need about 17 plastic bags, this is a great time to clear that stash you've hoarded for future use. To get the full instructions, check out ReadyMade's tutorial.

Another way to repurpose plastic grocery bags for sewing is to fuse them together to create a durable fabric. Just sandwich 4 grocery bags between parchment paper, then smooth with an iron to bond them. (This works best if you trim away the grocery bag handles.) For a full tutorial, visit ModCloth's post on bonding grocery bags.
