How to Make a Standout Duct Tape Wallet

Duct tape can be a very useful tool for artistic hands as it can be used to make many handy items that will last for ages. One of the simplest and most worthy creations you can come up with is a duct tape wallet which can be done is as little as 30 minutes. The tape can be designed in various colors and characters although it comes in 2-inch standard rolls. For you to make a durable yet appealing wallet, you will also require; a ruler, cutting board, cards for sizing, scissors (utility knife) and a pencil.

Step #1: Shaping the Wallet

To begin, you will need to tear 4 strips of the tape each 9 inches long. Place them on a flat surface with the sticky side facing up and each of them having half an inch overlap to the neighboring strip. You need then to tear 4 more strips of the same length which you should stick to the sheet made by the first 4 strips. The sticking should be done at least half an inch lower than the first sheet. By doing so, you will be avoiding a thickened taped that is difficult to fold. To make it more appealing while sticking to a negligible budget, the outside of the wallet can be print while the inside is plain.

You will need to fold over, the overlapping edge at the top and bottom to come up with a final height of about 6 inches. After doing so, you have to make use of your ruler and utility knife to trim a straight edge on the left and right leaving an approximate width of 8.5 inches.

Step #2: Making Pockets

For a credit card pocket, you will need a pair of 5 inch strips laid over another similar pair and the top and bottom edges folded over as in the body of the wallet. The edges will need to be trimmed for a straight finish and will result in a 4 inch pocket eventually. Extra pockets can also be made by tearing two 9 inch strips of tape and sticking them back to back before adjoining them with a narrow strip at the bottom and top. You then have to attach the three pockets by laying each on top of the other by size and using a narrower strip of tape that overlaps on the sides. The sizes can be confirmed using actual cards so that there is enough pocket room.

Step #3: Assembling the Pieces

After placing the main fabric with the outer side of the wallet facing up, you will have to attach the pockets with a narrow 9 inch strip of tape. Afterwards, you may fold the wallet in half with the outer side remaining visible and narrow strips securing the folded lengths. To finish up, you will need another narrow strip for the bottom and may also add a clear piece for quick glancing of an ID or license.

By following these simple steps, you will have a neat and durable holder which will flatten out after some time and conveniently fit in your back pocket.

Rooting that Sexy Samsung Galaxy S3

Owning a Samsung Galaxy S3 at this time may be a dream come true and may similarly be a mileage over your friends. The phone is just amazing out-the-box, but from curiosity of man there might just be a craving somewhere within you to explore the ultimate potential of the phone. I would advice not to get the Super-User privileges just yet but it’s your phone anyway and nobody knows what’s best for you than YOU do.
Rooting basically means getting a feel of ‘administrator’ privileges just like on a computer thus being able to do things which normal users wouldn’t be able. Some of the things you can edit and customize to your preference include; the boot animation, the operating system and removing any applications from the manufacturer that really don’t impress you. Rooting is not new to many Android users who love to explore the fancy unrestricted world but this is not to say there are no risks. As much you can play around with sewed operating systems (ROMs) and get diverse applications, the phone is left vulnerable to malicious apps because the safety measures are broken. The firmware may also be destroyed rendering the phone unusable.
If you understand these risks and are still smiling after the previous paragraph then you are the best person to continue reading. To root your new monster phone you should proceed as follows;
Step #1: Preparation
This is a very critical step and necessitates that you have Samsung Kies and update the phone’s drivers on your PC. Using this software, you will be able to back up your data including photos, contacts, to-dos and such. You need then to get Odin 3 which is a rooting software (you can search the internet) or click here.
Step #2: File Manipulation
Once you have downloaded the file, you will have to extract it (probably using WinRar) and install the .exe file on your PC. You will have to extract the archive file CF-root to be able to see a main component which has a .tar extension. Browsing the file may be tricky but playing with the PC settings will enable you see the files. Click the PDA icon and browse the file to the .tar file extracted previously
Step #3: Loading
To allow for the file to be loaded into the phone, you will have to select the ‘download mode’ as this allows communication between the phone and your computer. You will thus have to shut down the phone –you can confirm this by removing the battery – and hold the power button, volume down and home key combination for a few seconds. The phone will ask for confirmation to go to download mode and you need to confirm by pressing the volume up button. Once this is done, you should connect the phone to the PC and observe the notification ‘added’ shown at the bottom of Odin.
Step #4: Run
Check the Reset Time and Auto Reboot boxes and click start BUT wait... make sure you are still up to the task... you can always quit before clicking the Start button. If you decide to go on with the process then you should expect to see a green box at the completion of the root setup. The phone will show progress in the form of texts on a black screen and then reboot. Once it reboots into the Operating System that you expect, then its congratulations to you. Best of Luck!
NB: If it does not load and just reboots, then you can try connecting the phone once again and repeat the last step.
You can always leave your comments on how things go... and just a heads-up Samsung galaxy S3 recently made it to Kenya.

Using the CNC stripped punch machine to fabricate components

Most metal fabrications of the present age are dependent on Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines because of their efficacy in manufacturing process. The CNC punch presses are used in different processes with varied designs due to significant differences in some of them. Some of them are single headed or tool rail while others are multi tool turret designed with programming aimed at punching holes in different components. The metal is placed under the machine and it is moved from point x to y with accuracy of the programming.
Most CNC machines are made to have an accuracy of between 0.5mm to 6.0mm in various types of metals such as Steel, Zinc, and Aluminium. There are various types of holes that can also be punched onto the metal fabrications. There are also, many levels of programming that can be used to fabricate different components such as Brackets and electric boxes. The industrial processes are however are carried out under specific details and serve various purposes. They can also be put to use in POP display fixtures and Chasis designs and their use continues to gain prominence due to the fact that they have numerous benefits.
As much as the production may be specific they all have been revolutionized tohave increased automation and therefore offer partial control over the quality. The automation also allows for better flexibility such that components are held in the process of manufacture. The programming therefore makes the work less tedious and helps professionals to exercise the processes effectively. One of the real benefits that these machines really serve a great deal in metal fabrications is the precision and accuracy which companies require mandatorily. This enables them to calibrate complex designs and carry out more complicated operations which cannot be pulled off by human workers. There is more success when using the CNC machines in that errors are reduced and the production is more oriented.
More to the bettered production, the machines offers increased speed of which in essence is a frontier of the technology used to increase production capacity. The system allows for development of more effective production techniques which put more scrutiny on errors and also offers a platform for correction of errors. There is also better handling of components by the machine so that there is increased versatility in terms of tools. Specific tasks can therefore get allocated various types of tools that allows for better production and more distinct fabrication.
These machines are therefore exceptional for the reason that they can carry out more than one task with a great deal of accuracy which is better than human driven alternatives. The components of the metal fabrications can also be managed better such that their repetitive nature is not tedious. The productions process therefore continues to get diversified through use of common parts to come up with various complex designs and achieve better results. As growth continues to increase in the sector therefore, more and more demand for fabrications get attended to by simplistic approach of the CNC machines.

How to Succeed in Orchid Gardening: Supplies

Orchid farming can be a hectic due to the complexity of dealing with these plants especially if you are not efficiently informed. One of the factors that comprehensively determine success in growing orchids is the supplies you use. The essential supplies that you should ensure you have before purchasing the seed or young plant include: 
1. Pruning snips
Blooming of the orchid plant is very much welcomed by the respective growers but it can be short-lived if not properly attended to. This is where the pruning snips come to play, there are important in shaping the plant. There are handily used for trimming the wayward projections of the plant so that the plant is shaped in the most suitable way.  
2. Pots
To begin with, the orchids need to have a distinct container for which the adequate conditions can be defined for the plant to flourish. In most instances, people will go for simple pots made from either terra cotta or plastic so that the beauty of the plant is visualized. The important thing for them to note about these pots is that they take the crown by being very affordable. This is advantageous to the grower in that they have peace of mind when considering re-potting after a year. 
3. Potting Mix
Aeration for orchids is a must and that is why the potting soil needs to permit air circulation around the roots of the plant. The choice of potting mix should therefore be a consideration made after review and consultation to ensure that aeration is ample. A proper mix for potting is one that has vermiculite or perlite because these substances allow for ideal air supply.
4. Fertilizer
Fertilizer is very important in the growth cycle of orchids although many people do not realize this and therefore get disappointed when the plants wither. This is a mistaken idea which has failed many people who may have had high hopes because they had followed all other directives to the letter. Considering the fact that orchids require precise soil mixtures for growth, the same case applies for the nutrient choice. Fertilizers are rich in the nutrients that are readily needed by the orchid plants for them to bloom. The concentration of constituents needed has to be determined first of all so that the application is appropriate to the plant’s needs and effective for growth.
5. Light
Everything lives and depends on light and this is a factor that makes orchids normal because they depend on it for growth. Sun is the significant source of light although there are other artificial sources that you can go for and still serve the purpose.
6. Misting Bottle
Orchids require a high percentage of moisture and that is why a misting bottle is essential even if you regularly water the plant. The bottle can come in handy when the plant needs moisture and this will also vary according to species.
7. Pest Supplies
Pest control products are mandatory for making sure the plant does not fall victim to variable types of pests. These can be harmful to the plant and may result in death rendering all your efforts to keep it alive, worthless. There several types of supplies that can be used for orchids although organic ones are the best.

You may also consider getting support for the orchid in the form of mounts if need be or use humidity trays to aid in germination. These are supplies that are essential in guaranteeing cost effective orchid growth.
