Magnet Generator DIY Project
Free Power From Magnet Generator
We bought it and here is what we found out. This magnet generator is a great free electricity from a mini electric magnet generator project. You will gain so much confidence after your first generator you will want to built a bigger one right a way. Residential Energy Kit regards Magnets 4 Energy a safe buy.
Magnets 4 Energy project is based on the Perendev and Bedini (the wheel) magnetic motor principles; but, repackaged for easy home construction to make free electricity from a mini electric magnet generator. Magnets 4 Energy is very easy to build and modify for smaller or larger scale.

Magnet Motor company, Perendev, closes its doors
Contributed by Sterling Allan (Reporter)
Wednesday, April 14, 2010 2:55
Over the years, the term “Perendev” has become nearly synonymous with the idea of all-magnet motors. Citing the need for sole director, Michael Brady, to take care of severe legal proceedings abroad against his person, Perendev Power Holding AG is saying that he will not be able to attend to Perendev tasks, which may lead to its insolvency. Their website is gone..
Eight years ago, I got my start in the world of free energy by becoming acquainted with Mike Brady, then in Johannesburg, South Africa. I had posted a page about free energy on my religiopolitical commentary website, and he responded with a link to his website about his all-magnet motor.
I then got involved with arranging to bring him on a tour through the United States to demonstrate his motor and to help establish a network to manufacture and market it to the world. My associates and I started a company, PerenTech (the forerunner to PES Network), and purchased Perendev.com (which we still own, redirecting it to our PESWiki coverage of the company and technology claims), and worked on the logistics of his visit to the states. He had tickets in hand twice (which I verified), but had to cancel twice — once due to the terror alert in the U.S. going to orange, and once do to his associate getting scurvy — the same associate who shortly thereafter was discovered to be embezzling funds from Perendev. The third proposed visit attempt was scrapped due to an “eddy current” problem in the aluminum housing causing the motor to slow down
He then fabricated a new rig out of some kind of plastic; and two associates, including Susan Carter, and myself flew over to Johannesburg in December of 2002. We arrived in time to take his newly-fabricated magnet motor out of the machine shop and assemble the motor. However, we were not able to get it to run in the week that we were there. He said it is a matter of getting the magnets positioned right. Not all the holes are populated. It’s a matter of timing.
Two months later, he sent me a video of it running, though the footage wasn’t skeptic-proof. Our engineer suspected that there was some kind of cheater device behind the motor to get running, which was then removed during the walk-around. I’ve always believed that the footage was genuine. That is the footage which a couple of years later he allowed me to post with a story where we announced Brady’s intention to do a demonstration of the technology on German television. Though the TV thing didn’t materialize, the video ended up on YouTube and has been seen millions of times.
A mechanical engineer associate of ours, Douglass K. Furr, built a beautiful 1/4-scale replication of the Perendev all-magnet motor, with Brady’s permission; but we couldn’t get it to run, though we tried a bunch of different magnet configurations. Quite a few people have seen videos of that replications, and even though I state in the video that I’m spinning it by hand, I still occasionally get calls or emails from people who think it is running from the power of magnets alone.
Our replication varied from Brady’s design both in scale and by bringing the rotors in from the side rather than via the clam-shell design of Brady’s.
Ever since we launched PESWiki.com in Aug. 2004, our Perendev page has been one of the most visited pages on the site. Our Magnet Motor general index page is also one of the most popular pages. On our Best Exotic Free Energy Technologies page, Perendev has been the only entry under the heading “Alleged Commercial”.
Though I consider myself a steadfast believer in the possibility of an all-magnet motor being able to provide base-load power, I have not yet personally seen such a motor running, though I am hopeful that this status will change soon, due to a couple of alleged Perendev replications that I’ve become aware of. We recently ran a couple of stories about other apparent replications. And I’ve talked to three or four people who claim to have personally seen Brady’s all-magnet motor running.
During all this time, I’ve believed that Brady actually did get an all-magnet motor running, and possibly even an electromagnetic version of that motor, but I have taken exception to his business practices, and have urged caution to any who have asked me my opinion; and I’ve expressed that caution on our PESWiki page about Perendev.
More recently I’ve become aware of a 1989 patent that embodies Brady’s design, but pre-dates it by a decade — and which is now expired. Brady apparently was also aware of that patent, and it may have been the primary basis of his design. I know that when he was taking us around Johannesburg, he didn’t have any compunction against buying some pirated DVD’s being sold along the roadside. To his credit, he was a very gracious host.
As long as I’ve been aware, the story of Perendev has been a story of continued promises, continued hope for pending delivery, continued delays, continued alleged back-stabbing episodes by formerly trusted associates, continued disenchanted customers who haven’t received product they paid for, and alleged pilfering of money by bad associates. It’s the perpetual “soon” that never quite materializes. I’ve never spoken to a customer who has received a working product (though that is somewhat understandable inasmuch as he supposedly makes them sign secrecy agreements).
Just guessing, I would say that in the eight years I’ve know him, there have been at least eight times when he was going to be going into production, but I was never able to verify any of the times when he was alleged to have actually made it to production.
Today I learned that Perendev is apparently closing their doors. The following statement comes by an auto-responder when an email is sent to Brady. The perendev-power.com website is gone.
Dear Customers and Partners of Perendev Power Holding AGWe regret to inform you that our sole director Michael J. Brady has to take care of severe legal proceedings abroad against his person and has therefore no longer the capacity to fulfil [sic] his functions with regard to Perendev Power Holding AG. Michael J. Brady regrets deeply that this leaves the company and its plans for a bright future with all of you behind. But he has no other choice, now, than to put all his efforts into fighting these false allegations. Although he has no possibility to evade this constellation, he apologizes for all the problems this causes to all of you. In this situation, Perendev Power Holding AG will most probably not be able to avoid in-solvency [sic]. To those who have investments or claims at stake, we give the advice to appoint a lawyer in Switzerland to follow such proceedings. Perendev
Before their site went down, it said in part:
“Perendev is planning a production plant in Switzerland. [...]
“Our plant once in production will produce the Magnetic motor/generator, Hydrogen technology ( water to Fuel ) and a number of other technologies aimed at improving our world.
“We are planning a show in Switzerland to demonstrate Perendev’s technology in the very near future.
“Perendev is the No 1 Alternative company in the world today. It is not something that happened overnight. It has taken years and total dedication to achieve this goal, through hard work and the vision to change the way the world uses energy.
“We would like to point out that in 1998, there was very little in Publicity regarding magnetic motors, Perendev advertised on the Internet that they had developed a magnetic engine, since then many people have developed or try to develop Magnetic engines. We wish all who are doing this to continue and show the world that there is a better way of using energy.
” Demonstration planned in the near future, please return for update and dates for the projected launch of the 300kw motor. Our Hydrogen project is going well and we are getting ready to install the unit in our Toyota Hybrid.
“We will demonstrate the Hydrogen project on stage with a mounted running engine.”
Despite all their problems over the years, I’ve always told Brady that I hope he succeeds in bringing an all-magnet motor or a self-looped electromagnetic version to market; and I’ve hoped that the right kind of people could come along to help him overcome some of the heavy challenges he has faced.
If he personally is removed from the ring, he deserves some kind of credit for spurring the imagination of so many, including two I know of who may have achieved a variation that could appear in the market not too long from now. Despite all his challenges, I think Brady deserves “honorable mention” in this magnet motor saga. Maybe he will yet rebound from whatever it is that is closing his doors for now.

DIY Magnetic Generator: Discover How Easy It Is To Build A Small Scale Generator To Make Power
Green energy DIY projects are a great way to save money and the planet by making your own home power. Using common materials found around the house and in your local hardware stores you are able to put together your own magnetic energy generator.
Magnetic generators are perfect DIY projects because their parts and components are very basic and easy to find. This means that no matter where you live in the world you can build your own generator to make your own electricity with from home. How much will this cost? Everything can be purchased and you should find that it costs no more than $100 USD. This makes building your own generator an extremely cheap and enjoyable DIY project. I recommend building a small scale generator first to fully understand how it works.
Click Here To Get Free Plans on how to build a Magnetic Motor
The best way to see a magnetic generator in action is by building a very basic one which shows how the concept works. What you will need are at least two magnets, several hundred feet of copper wire, a long nail, a light bulb and some cardboard. First, take the cardboard and cut it so that you form a box with no top or bottom. The inside of the box should be hollow. You can achieve this by simply folding a piece of cardboard around and back onto itself. Once you have done this, find the middle of one side of the box and punch a hole. Place the nail through the box so it sticks all the way through to the other side. Once you have done this, take the magnets and put them inside the box in the center where the nail is.

Next, take the copper wire and wrap it around the outside of the cardboard box which has the magnets enclosed inside. Wrap the wire around at least 200 times. After completing this take the ends of the wire and strip off about 1 inch of plastic. Then connect the wire to your light bulb. Everything is now ready and you will be able to create electricity using nothing more than the two magnets inside the cardboard box. Simply spin the magnets around using your fingers and you will see the light bulb light up. While this is a very small scale project, building larger magnetic generators is possible and they allow you to automatically power appliances in your house and cut back on what you spend on your power bill.
Powering your home and cutting back on your power bill with a magnetic generator really is possible. The above DIY project shows how simple the concept is and proves that it really works. Would you like to know more about building your own full scale magnetic generator? Visit the magnetic energy gernerator website today to discover how easy and simply it is to build your own generator and starting making your own home power today.

Perendev all-magnet motor replica appears to hold constant speed
In a YouTube video, user ubozkurt1 gives the rotor on his Perendev replica a push by hand to get close to what appears to be a resonant speed which then appears to be maintained by the magnetic interactions alone. Visual and audio analysis conclude “constant speed”.

On Dec. 26, 2008, YouTube user ubozkurt1 posted a video of what appears to be a test jig showing just two magnets in a rotor to demonstrate the concept presented in the famous Perendev all-magnet motor.
In this video, ubozkurt1 gives the rotor a push by hand to kick-start the rotor. It takes several tries to get close to what appears to be a resonant point in a speed which then appears to be maintained at a constant speed by the magnetic interactions alone. He then stops the rotation by hand and starts it again with the same effect.
Off to the side, you can see a rotor that more closely resembles the Perendev design seen ubiquitously on the web, and featured here at PESWiki (we own perendev.com, which forwards to our page).
Lightrider, who is expert at analyzing such video footage, analyzed both the video and audio components of this video this past week and concluded that there is indeed a stable speed achieved almost immediately and maintained until manually stopped.
We don’t know of any replications of this effect, but if there is not any trickery involved in this video, it would constitute a validation of the Perendev all-magnet motor.
Stefan Hartmann, of OverUnity.com, said that the replicator apparently is Turkish. “Somebody of my forum speaking Turkish language emailed him; and he said, that it worked, but that he is only an amateur tinkering with this stuff.” He’s not posted any more videos and has not communicated further that we know of.
Here is ubozkurt1′s video:
YouTube; December 26, 2008 |
Please visit our PESWiki feature page on this development for more information, and to post any replications you know of.

Perendev – Perpetual Energy Device – Free Energy??
The Perendev, originally coined from the phrase “perpetual energy device,” but later changed to the more politically correct, “permanent energy device”.
A magnetic motor (or magnet motor) is a device which converts power of or relating to or caused by magnetism (e.g., “magnetic forces”) into mechanical force and motion, with no other input. It usually provides rotary mechanical motion. The machines that utilizes the properties of a magnet for mechanical energy.
Running Magnet Motors Witnessed
![]() Myself (left) with Mike Brady, assembling his Perendev magnet motor. |
I happen to have been involved in that motor. I helped assemble it in Johannesburg in December of 2002 when it came from the machine shop, but we couldn’t get it to run during the week that we were there. The video was produced a couple of months later by the inventor, Mike Brady; and I was given permission to publish it in Aug. 2004 prior to a German television debut that was supposed to take place but which never materialized. (Ref.)
We had our mechanical engineer associate, Douglas K. Furr build a 1/4-scale replica of the Perendev design, with Brady’s permission, but were not able to get it running. For some reason, often when people see a video that has been posted of that motor, they think it is a functioning device, even though the video shows me spinning and stopping the shaft with my hand, and I state that we’ve not been able to get it to run on its own. I guess their thinking it is a functioning magnet motor is due to a wishful thinking syndrome or something.
In all this time, I’ve heard of a lot of claims to working magnet motors, some of which seem credible, but I’ve never personally witnessed one running.
I’ve also surrounded myself with a lot of experienced people in the field who are open minded but who require proof. I founded the New Energy Congress a couple of years ago in order to review the various exotic clean energy technology claims and then rank them according to a set of the criteria including renewable, affordable, credible, and safe. We compile these in a Top 100 Clean Energy Technologies listing.
Then a couple of weeks ago, when I was consulting John Dunlap, an entrepreneur who wanted to advance magnet motor technology, I was embarrassed when I couldn’t answer whether or not any of the approximate forty NEC members had personally witnessed a magnet motor running. I could answer for myself, but I couldn’t answer for them.
So on Sept. 19, I wrote to the NEC: “Have any of you members of the NEC seen a magnet motor in operation in person? “By ‘magnet motor’ I’m referring to motors that run only on magnets, with no other motive force. A separate question would be whether you were able to confirm that the magnets were not diminishing in gauss in the process of providing rotational power, but my present primary question is more broad, relating to a magnet-only-powered motor.
“It seems like maybe one or two of you have witness one in person, but I can’t recall who or what. I’ve heard of some 20 – 25 different claims to working magnet motors that seemed possibly credible, but have never seen one in person.”My second question would be, if you have seen one in operation, would you be willing to go on record as having done so?”Since it is possible that if you have seen one, you are under NDA not to disclose that, I’ve created an anonymous poll”
The wording of the poll was simple:
- “Have you seen a magnet motor in operation in person? ‘Magnet motor’ = a motor that run only on magnets, with no other motive force.”
Two members of the congress came forward in the private NEC forum to discuss their experiences.
One said that he had not yet confirmed that the magnets were not diminishing over time, and that he was under NDA from giving any details, but that he was very encouraged by what he had seen. Formerly, he was among the skeptics who did not think that such a motor could be built.
The 20% affirmative response by the NEC members is not representative of the public at large, inasmuch as the NEC is composed of people who pursue exotic energy technology.
A follow-up poll has been prepared for the general public (posted above). I’ve also created a poll (Sept. 29 – Oct. 12) for the fe_updates newsletter group who received my email notices of the daily FreeEnergyNews.com news items. That group is more likely to have results resembling those of the NEC, than of the public in general. Also, the general poll above is not going to be a true reflection of the general populace inasmuch as people who come to this news page in the first place are likely to be an unusual set to begin with.
I also plan to follow this NEC poll up with additional polls of the NEC about some of the other exotic technologies we cover, such as electromagnetic overunity, electrolysis overunity, gravity wheels, and cold fusion.
Though such such polls are not the same as a scientifically sound validation using calibrated measurement tools, video documentation, and other data collection, it does help increase the hope factor for these technologies that science rebuffs — as they did human flight, among other things they said were “impossible.”

Zero Point Energy devices 5-10 years from market
Pure Energy Systems News
Copyright © 2009 On Monday, Jan. 19, 2009, I interviewed Tom Valone, Ph.D., who works at the U.S. Patent office and is the author of several books on Zero Point Energy – a source of energy that is everywhere present and constant in the universe. General Physics tends to think that this is an inaccessible energy source, but that’s usually when we get most interested – when science as we know it says something is “impossible”. Tom gave us us an overview of the general concept of Zero Point Energy and described some recent developments toward building working prototypes using nanotechnology. Valone is one of the most, if not the most knowledgeable person on this subject on the planet. And he is quite articulate in explaining it in a way that both scientists and lay persons can understand.The promise of zero point energy comes from an effect that is found both on a subatomic level as well as a macro level, in which two bodies tend to be attracted to one another as they come into very close proximity to one another. Valone points out that this effect can be seen with boats. As they come close, they want to be drawn to one another.On the near molecular level, this is manifest in what is called the “Casimir Effect“. The exciting thing is that with the maturation of the field of nanotechnology (manipulating substances in the size range of a billionth of a meter), we now have tools by which this effect can be harnessed.Valone describes one possible prototype involving nano-particles using a spring-like action to vibrate back and forth. Imagine a gazillion of these nanoparticles acting together. I didn’t quite catch how this could be accomplished or harnessed. The second prototype proposal was easier to grasp, as it is presently used on a larger scale. (“Larger”, in this case, refers to things we can actually perceive with our eyes, such as a diode in a circuit board.) He envisions nanodiodes being aligned, and the zero point energy forces — free from the universe — acting on them via the Casimir Effect. This would result in one-way movement of electrons — similar to what happens in a photovoltaic cell as photons — free from the sun — act as the stimulant. Valone envisions that a solid state (no moving parts) device one meter square, thus composed, could power a house — continuously, with no fluctuation, no maintenance, no pollution, no fuel requirement (fuel comes freely from the zero point field). Valone also talked about conjecture that spacecraft could be propelled by this force as well, using a fuel that is everywhere present, including in the deepest reaches of space. The nanodiode technology is already here. It’s just a matter of configuring it properly, he said. And how long before we might see something like this in the marketplace? “Five to ten years.”Valone also conjectures that Zero Point Energy could be the contributing energy source in all-magnet motors — another technology modern physics generally says is “impossible.” Here’s a video of a conference presentation he gave a few years back on the subject. Don’t worry, he was way ahead of his time then, and the content is still cutting edge. I was there.
| Tom Valone’s video lecture Zero-Point Energy Extraction from the Quantum Vacuum, presented at the ExtraOrdinary Technology Conference in 2004, where he gave a great overview of the various methods to extract free energy directly from the quantum vacuum to power our homes and machines. One possible source could be zero-point energy (ZPE). A major feasibility study by Valone’s Integrity Research Institute placed its emphasis on the practical potential for ZPE energy conversion, especially in view of recent advances in nanotechnology, than in the theory. With primary reference to the works of Casimir, Pinto, Mead and Milonni, key principles for the proposed extraction of energy for useful work are identified and analyzed. |

Review this very strong video on solar energy from Earth4Energy: Solar Video
Are Magniwork and Magnets4Energy promoting a scam?
Are Magniwork and Magnets4Energy promoting a scam? Are Magnetic Motors a scam? Are Over Unity generators a scam? Are Zero Point Motors a scam? Are Perpetual Motion Machines a scam?
Let me help you. If I were promoting perpetual motion, over unity and something-for-nothing, that would be a scam. There is no way you can get something for nothing. You can gather or convert energy from an existing force, however. There is a part of the world population always looking for something-for-nothing and when they find something that looks like something-for-nothing they jump on it. Because this population views this science as something-for-nothing it does not mean the science is claiming something-for-nothing.
Let me give you a few examples. A solar panel gathers energy for free. The source is the sun. The solar panel and sun will not do this forever. It is not perpetual. For your life span the solar panel is capable of “producing” (gathering) energy for your entire life. Does it make a difference to you that it is not perpetual? Interesting lesson on perspective.
When people thought the earth was flat, it took a sailor trying to circumnavigate the globe to prove it round. After that, perspective changed, not the truth. This happens all the time. Science does not change only the interpretation.
Magnets opposite poles attract. Move a strong magnet towards another’s opposite pole and they will snap together. What is the force that moved them? Is this force perpetual? Can this force be used over and over again to do work? Before we in the scientific world fully understand magnetism, we will make false calms about it because we do not have a choice. We just don’t know better. It’s a mystery and it is human nature to apply reason, even though the reason may be faulty. False claims should not prevent us from using magnetism’s force for work. Wouldn’t you agree?
Magniwork and Magnets4Energy are not promoting perpetual motion in my opinion. They have implemented instructions or guides to build a scientific experiment in magnetism.
Search the Internet for these terms: Zero Point Energy, Magnetic Zero Point Energy, Magnet Generator, Perpetual Motion Machine, and Over Unity Motors. You will find all the related material and know that this magnetic motor design has been around for over 25 years. Because the implemented design will “produce” (gather) power from a seemingly absent force, it looks like something-for-nothing; but is it really?
It is a challenge to accept a magnetic motor will produce its own power, yet search the internet for its various key phrases and you will find hundreds of homemade videos of experiments that demonstrate a working motor / generator without applied power. Why do these work? Is it possible that you can convert magnetism into a energy producing generator?
The working examples say yes.
What role magnetic motors will play in the future is uncertain but this we do know, an individual with curiosity and some handyman skills can build one and see for his or her self in less than a week. The two guides mentioned in this article are readily available for low cost and the materials will cost between $100 – $200.
I do believe the Magniwork customer lack of satisfaction warrants a non recommendation while Magnets4Energy is a successful hobby project to experiment in magnetic generators. More…

Free Power’s 7 Reasons for Do-It-Yourself (DIY)
Free Power
Free power isn’t totally free you will need to invest in equipment; but the power you make will be free. You have a large advantage over power companies when you make free power at home. No delivery charge.
Power companies collect power or convert it then deliver it. They divide the cost of investment over 30 to 50 years and charge you for the investment and delivery amortized over time.
What is the delivery cost if you make your own power (Zilch, zero, nothing)? If you hire a contractor to install energy devices at your home the cost will not be much cheaper than the Power Company. Your payback period will be as high as 25 years, not much better than the Power Company’s payback period.
The rules change when you make your own power with a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach. No delivery charge, no contractor cost and investment payback period is usually under 5 years.
Here are seven reasons to make DIY homemade power:
1.) Free power is everywhere. You just need to collect it.
2.) Collecting free power is easy with solar, wind, and solar hot water systems.
3.) Free power investment is cheap for DIY. DIY projects can be 1/10 the cost of commercial and payback is 5-10 times faster, usually under 5 years.
4.) The governments encourage free power collection. The government will pay you. In the USA the tax credit is 30% up to $2000 for solar electric and solar hot water and up to $4,000 for small wind turbine. That is not much for commercial investment of $20,000 to $80,000; but this is a lot for DIY projects of $100 to $6,000.
5.) Free power is green. The more you collect the less the power company pollutes our planet. That makes a greener planet for our future and the kids’ future.
6.) Do-it-yourself guides that make free power projects easy and low cost are cheap. Projects are a $100 – $200 investment. Multiple projects can get you off the grid completely.
7.) Remote sites like a vacation home or cabin, hunting lodge, campsites can be powered by these free power projects, no gas generator and no kerosene.
Solar Panels
Solar panels are a collection of solar cells, soldered together into a system. The cells can be purchase on eBay for about $50 per 100 watts of power. You assemble the cells in to 70 – 175 watt panels. Installing the panels is a matter of some brackets and wire. Solar panel installation is much more flexible and portable than wind turbines.
Solar panels produce 18+ volts in to a battery charge controller. The controller fills deep cycle batteries with the power during the day. Power can be generated most days, even with clouds.
The limitation of solar panels is the sun. It’s up only half the day. A power inverter converts the battery’s power to household power for your normal use, day or night. Building several panels can achieve 1000+ watts of power.
Small Wind Turbine
Wind turbine is not for everyone. You need an open space, not because they are too large but because the wind flows better in the open. You need a minimum of 10+ M.P.H. wind speed with 20+ M.P.H. being ideal. An advantage to wind turbines is the wind can blow all day to produce power day or night. Another consideration is the wind turbine needs to be on a tower.
The taller the better, in the 20 – 60 foot range. This usually requires local zoning permits. If these are not a problem you will get twice the power out of a wind turbine than for the same investment in solar panels. The break-even point is $400. More than that, the wind turbine is less costly to build for the same power output.
You can easily get 450 watts to 1,000 watts from one DIY homemade turbine. Like the Solar Panel description above, you store the energy in deep cycle batteries and use an inverter to make household power, day or night.
Solar Hot Water
The power required for a home hot water heater is about 30% of the household energy budget. The solar hot water can easily cut that in half. Solar hot water uses the greenhouse effect.
Build a box with a glass cover and some pipes and you can get hot water in the range of 120 – 130 degrees Fahrenheit winter and summer. Feed this hot water into you hot water heater for storage and the hot water heater will shut down, no power consumption. The hot water heater will only run when a boost is required like washing clothes. The construction is cheap and easy.
Solar Air Heater
Think about it. Free heat for the garage, basement or out-building. No wires not power costs. Supplement your house heater with free heat from the sun for as little as $30 in parts.
Assuming you have most of the common parts around your garage, then yes you can. Even if it costs you a little more, its a fun “DIY Project” for the weekend.
Geothermal Heat Pumps
Geothermal heating and cooling technology provides exceptional performance and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) agrees that a geothermal heat pump is the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and most cost-effective space conditioning system available.
Today’s best geothermal systems outperform the best gas technology, gas heat pumps, by an average of 36% in heating mode and 43% in cooling mode!
You can save 25-50% on home electric bills compared to conventional heating and cooling systems. Imagine what you could do with the extra money in your wallet!
The Reason for Guides
Do you want to know how to do these projects, what materials to buy, how big or small to make things? Get a DIY guide is the answer. For under $50 you can get a step-by-step guide, a plan and in some cases where needed you get a video tutorial.
