Wanted Website

[Trumpet]

I have heard that there is a website where people can sign in and put up details / instructions etc of DIY projects they have completed. Does anyone on here know of it?

 

[Katniss]

You could always do a DIY thread on here. I am interested in interior decorating and I love picking out new stuff for my home and garden.

Not quite the sort of thing I had in mind.

What did you have in mind? I have done some work to my house myself but I do pay others to do it now.

I made some garden furniture out of pallets last year, looking to make a bar and set up some outdoor mood lighting.

That sounds nice, you should post some pictures.

Got it, a work colleague came up with www.instructables.com looks like a good site for upcyclers.

You thinking spotlights or more just background?

Thinking along the lines of a string of wine bottles at say 1.5 metre intervals with some kind of lights inside. (Very bright LEDs perhaps) not sure yet still thinking of options. Just fancy something quirky and different.

I like your pallet seating @Trumpet

You can get some great leds but the issue is always beam angle, unlike traditional bulbs you get 180 degree at best (and they are realistically more like 120).

 

[Trumpet]

Looks like small bulbs of some kind then.

Wonder if these will fit in the neck pointing down?

Failing that look for filament bulbs, as they look 'real' if you know what I mean. No idea how to get them in the bottles though!

Maybe one of the tube style ones?

I'm not endorsing this site BTW, I've used them in the past with no bother but this was just for ideas.

If you're feeling adventurous you could make your own!
