Hairpin organizer



Completion date: November 2017


I was growing my hair long and needed hairpins to hold up my hair if I tie it up. As there was no table near the basin, I found another way to put my hairpins. 


This solved a number of problems,

  1. This saves the trouble of getting my pins from my room, then to the washroom, and vice Versa. 
  2. The hair ties are easier to pick up then they are on the table. 
  3. The hairpins are also easier to pick up individually as they are not on top one another. 
  4. I can also hang my hairdo tool too. 


I must say I got this idea from Pinterest, and I have modified it with suction cups and beautiful masking tape. 


So what I did was...

  1. Cut up a 2mm thick cardboard
  2. Cut a piece of magnetic stripe
  3. Take a 1.5-inch thin masking tape, and wrap around the cardboard with the magnetic stripe. Note to wrap with the tape slanted. 
  4. Punch 4mm/5mm holes to the sides. 
  5. With the suction up hooks pointing 45 degrees away from each other (upwards), install the hair accessory organizer on the wall. This way, the organizer stays in place even if you tick up the organizer by accident.

Banbao LEGO: motorcycle

Completion date: April 14, 2020 My banbao LEGO is here! My first project is building motorcycle from manual. My reflection on this build - three gears linear cluster turns the gears in a way that the 1st and 3rd gears are in the same direction.  - the 3-gear cluster’s function is to displace the turning motion to happen in another place. In this case, the back wheels can’t be directly connected to the motor, that’s why the 3-gear cluster would help.  - there are two types of connectors that look similar but provide a bit different functions. They act as pivot. One is smooth-pivot, the other is a stuck-pivot (need more force to turn) My first encounter with Banbao: really happy.  - It is not as good as LEGO in the fitting - It is really cheap, I imagine this would cost around HK$1000 with LEGO. Now around 1/3 of the price - It seems there are more variety of parts than LEGO - LEGO has actual size illustration on page for axles. Banbao could provide ruler sticker as a...
