Simple projects to pass winter boredom?? - V1GiLaNtE - 02-09-2010
Probably like most people here I like to keep myself busy with little projects to do.. Lets me think outside the box and it's an excellent way to spend a hour or two each day doing something for an ultimate goal.. I'm throwing it out to you guys if you have anything if particular you like to work on that doesn't cost a whole lot to do? I'm thinking under $100 here being a poor college student.. I've spent a little money adding some mods to my guns, built a cheap home server, and sometimes whatever I can fix around my house at school (squeaky door, rusty mailbox.. etc..) How about you?? I need some ideas to prevent from going insane! :twisted:

learn to brew beer or other alcoholic libations. its fun but you need to invest in equipment and cleaning products. its also not very hands-on all the time (you do something, it sits for a few days, do something else, sits for another week...)
