Soap pouch

Completion date: February 1, 2020




I always use a net pouch for my body soap.  Advantages of net pouch

  • helps to lather up foam 
  • it is easy to let the soap dry (no more "melt-like" soap)
  • when the soap becomes very small, just add a big one in the pouch and use them together

I could buy a soap net pouch for HK$4.  It is actually quite cheap but I couldn't find them in local stores. 

Materials
- 3 pieces of ribbon (around 3mm in width): HK$8 for 10 ribbons
- 60cm x 60cm Insect net for window: (I forgot the price, 150cm x 150cm).  The net hole size around 2mm

Tools
- Wide eye needle
- Hairpin

Steps
1. Cut the insect net 60cm x 60cm (note: illustration is a rectangle cut)




2. Fold it two times into a 30cm x 30cm rectangle



3. Take a ribbon, put it through a needle (or a hair pin).

4. Now, the folded net, one side has one fold, one side has 2 folds, and 2 other sides with "4 pages". You only weave the ribbon on the "4-page" sides.



5. Tie a knot at both ends.  Weave the ends to the stitches (optional).



6. Cut a small slit on the one fold side.  This is for the double pull strings to go through.



7. Thread the pull string ribbons in and tie knots at the ends.


8. Burn the ribbon ends (to stop the fabric from running)

9. Put the soap inside.



After thought: I actually flipped the net pouch inside out afterwards, so the ribbon ends could stay in the pouch.

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...
