		<title>Receiving weather satellite pictures in New Zealand – Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may want to read part 1 of this story about receiving weather satellite pictures if you haven&#8217;t already. Now I will describe how I made a much neater QFH antenna to receive the satellite signals. My wooden one worked fine but it was not waterproof or particularly pretty or accurately made. So I decided [...]]]></description>

		<title>Receiving weather satellite pictures in New Zealand &#8211; Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This project came about after I started playing about a little more with my Uniden UBC93XLT scanner. This is a toy I got a wee while ago from Dick Smith Electronics. I hadn&#8217;t really done too much with it apart from the usual listening to various coastguard, airport and Police transmissions (the number of people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tearing apart my Miele S5210 vacuum cleaner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my vacuum cleaner. Miele S5210. It&#8217;s a Miele S5210. It&#8217;s a very, very good vacuum cleaner. Well, it was until the point that it broke! Actually I was somewhat responsible for that. For a little while now I have been restoring a car (OK, almost 6 years but I am nearly done &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>A door alarm for my house and garage.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve looked about my sites you&#8217;ll know I make things. Lots of things. This means spending lots of time in the garage. Often I am dashing about between house and garage as I am busy making stuff. My house actually has two garages, an old on on one side of the house and my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finishing Sophie&#8217;s rocking horse (before christmas &#8211; just)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Part one of the horse making is here: http://www.asciimation.co.nz/bb/2009/10/18/a-rocking-horse-for-sophie With time moving on I had to really move to get the rocking horse done. After protecting the foam with the tin foil I applied layers of fibreglass and polyester resin. I built up a nice, thick skin of glass all over the horse. Layers of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A rocking horse for Sophie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm, almost Christmas again. Being someone who &#8216;makes stuff&#8217; my sister asked if I was making something for Sophie for Christmas this year. I suggested a rocking horse. This is my attempt to do so. I don&#8217;t have much experience with horses. Probably the closest I have been is gluing two bits of paper together. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sophie&#8217;s Ladybird Bookends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago my sister asked me what I was getting Sophie, my 10 month old niece, for Christmas. I said I didn&#8217;t know so she suggested I could make Sophie some bookends for her room. And she asked if I could make them like a ladybird that Sophie has on a blanket. The ladybird [...]]]></description>
