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.

Gear investigation: Klutz Lego Blender

Completion Date: May 31, 2020 After I finished with Banbao gears collection, I search on web for other building instructions.  I came across the Klutz Lego and saw the picture that I just built from looking at it.  It was quite easy and fast, however, I would like to convert it to vertical winding, but I don’t know how yet.  So here is the original one. Gear ratio is 40:8=40:24 = (40/8)*(40/24)=8.3 times faster then the hand-winding motion.
