New Index of No-Power-Tool Projects

When I first published a post about DIY & craft projects that do not require the use of power tools a few years ago, it became one of the most popular topics on this site. A lot of people either do not own basic power tools, fear using them, or simply want quiet, unplugged projects that do not require them.

To help, I’ve catalogued all of my projects with tags indicating whether power tools are required.

You can see them all here:

Quiet Please—I’m Being Creative

I can related to the request for no power tools. For years I avoided using them, with the exception of a drill, not because I was afraid of them, but because I could not stand the noise! I really like to work and create in a quiet space.

This year, I finally resolved that issue with a really simple fix: the purchase of good quality ear protectors and now I’m building whatever I want. You can read more here about simple ways to overcome a fear of power tools, if that is holding you back from making the stuff you want.

Now go have some good, quiet, creative fun.

This is one of my projects and my tip with making sure the glass looks colourful against the concrete is to spraypaint the back side white. This will make sure the glass reflects its own colour and not grey.
