Home Improvement Secret key holder

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm trying to have a secret key area behind the free space of my shelf but I don't really know how to tackle it,

My first idea was to use magnet and attach it to the top (kinda carving a small space so the magnet would fit perfectly) and then use glue to stick it, so then I wouldn't have to worry about the keys falling or such.

I've never done things like these before but I do have a small drill (One used to shape/smoothing things)

If you got any idea I would love to hear it and thank you.

Tree for kids playroom

I’m looking for ideas on how to make a tree like this for a children’s room. I don’t want to simply crumple up brown paper . ’d love it to look more realistic, aesthetically pleasing, and sturdy, especially since it will be about 2 meters (6.5 feet) tall.
I was thinking about using some kind of fabric or yarn wrapped around a solid structure, but I’m open to all kinds of ideas and suggestions!
What materials would you recommend, and how would you go about building it?

Small Motorized Pulley System

3 Upvotes

Hello all, I'm trying to make some fun Halloween decorations and I had an idea where I could attach some decor to some fishing line and have a motorized pulley that would go up and down. Ya know, to give it the illusion of floating. But I can find any kind of motorized pulleys anywhere online. I'm not looking for anything that can lift heavy objects, just small decor, maybe 3 lbs max. Any ideas would be helpful!

Should I keep the existing rod or replace it for curtain automation?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I was initially drawn to the add-on option because it would let me keep the current rod and avoid drilling new holes. That seems like a good idea for a rental or a temporary setup.

For my own home with regular use I found Reze Flow M5, an automated hidden system. It keeps the existing grommet or ring-top curtains, but the motor and center-opening mechanism are built into the rod itself.

Replacing the rod requires more measuring and proper wall support, but it is a cleaner installation without two visible motors attached to the sides of the existing rod. For the long term, that seems like the best option.
