Hobbiton Style Circular Door

Over the last year I have been working on the renovation/remodeling of my hotel in Nainital. Now we had a 1600 sq ft. area that was to be converted into a small restaurant for the hotel guests. Being a huge fan of LOTR I decided I wanted the entrance to the restaurant to look like a the door to Bilbo's house obviously with our own twist. Here are some pics of the build. The door is a two panel design completely circular and 7 feet tall. Its 1.4" thick and each wood panel weight in just over 50 kgs. Wood: Sagwan. The hinges were made from 0.25" thick mild steel and cut using hacksaws and files We still have some work left for the interiors and the tables and chairs and i post those as soon as they are done. PS: I'm really sorry for having used imperial units in this blog post but I used these units in my original design notes so thought that is what I should write about. All the other p...

DIY MaKey MaKey

I was just browsing around the internet and came across this video  which described how to make your own Makey Makey board using an  Arduino Leonardo . I had all the components laying around at home so I decided to make my own. Here is a video where i used 4 glasses of water to play some drums from  http://www.virtualdrumming.com/ . No I can't play music, well not right now anyway :-). The Makey makey is basically a circuit that converts anything conductive - even slightly conductive (Metal, Coins, Bananas, Humans, Coke Cans, Glass of Water, etc.) into a button on your keyboard. You connect a wire from the circuit to the object you want to make into a button (key). Connect your self to the wire from the circuit labeled "hand". Done. Now the moment you touch the object it will send a key-press (example 'a') to your computer via USB.  Using the Arduino Leonardo you can convert up-to 6 objects into a key at any given tim...

Carpentry - 1

I seem to have gotten a bit of the carpentry bug. The room with the Dragon Door  needed a table and as I did have some spare time I decided to build one. I'm a big fan of really long dining tables because somehow they feel grander. I decided to build one as long as the room would allow. Dimensions : 20 feet 10 inches (about 6.35 meters) x 3 feet 3 inches (about 1 meter) Height (table top) : 29.5 inches Seating capacity : 22 For the table top I decided to reclaim wood left over from the old doors and windows that were taken down during the renovation. I mixed and matched 7 kinds of wood (Tuna, Sal, Pine, Cheed, Sagwan, Sheesham & Deodar), glued and nailed them to a wooden skeleton structure (again made from reclaimed wood). For the legs I decided to make 6 circular rings to match the door of the room. The rings were made with Plyboard & MDF and later panelled with small pieces of deodar wood. After that I started work on the chair...
