One of the entries is telling you how to cut a shield shape out of cardboard for a Legend of Zelda Costume. It ends with just telling you to wear a green shirt while holding your shield.

Yeah, some of them is basically just eHow material. I came across one on how to make a shadow box for an NES cart. Sure, it consisted of:
Step 1: Buy picture frame.
Step 2: Buy duct tape
Step 3: Buy a scrap piece of velvet.
Step 4: Tape velvet to inside of picture frame
Step 5: Tape cart to center of velvet
Step 6: Hang picture frame up
Step 7: Listen to your friends comment how cool it is. (actual step)

 ::) LAME  ::)


--- Quote ---Another thing that gets me is that half of the cool things I really like do not instruct at all, but is just somebody showing off photos of their stuff. It kinda defeats whole the purpose of the website.

Hell yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Those should be flat out deleted.

Vigo:
I really try not to be negative on other people's work, but some their stuff really feels like "Little Johnny's 3rd grade art project", and it kinda sucks to see me and some of the other really neat projects get our asses handed to us and be way outvoted votes by someone's "cardboard helmet". The projects I thought would be sitting in the top ranks for votes are definitely not there.

Vigo:
OK, not trying to shamelessly plug for myself (OK, yes I am), but today is the last day to vote. I mathed out where I stand on votes, and if I can get about 4-5 votes, I can make the finalist cut.

Anybody able to help me out?

Donkbaca:
Yes vote! 

Its a great project, and actually an instructable.  Unlike the sweet R2D2 360, which is basically "hey look! I made this, come to my website and you can buy it for a butt load of money"

Vigo:
Thanks, Donk!!!

I know! R2D2 would be a really cool build....it sucks that it is just a sales pitch.

I have to say I am really surprised at how the finalist votes are swinging on this. I never expected the sewing/knitting/quilting projects to all do so well. I'm getting ---my bottom--- handed to me by a mario blanket.  :lol
