This is a good effort, but you posted this twice.
It might have been better to do your main post as you did and link to it here in this post.

Yea sorry. I posted my answers to the above questions and thought I would start a new thread that might generate more ideas to add to my lab.

no worries

Lawrence, your ability to make use of common throw-away items for lab ware is awesome. +1  You have inspired me to build an incubator of my own.  Cool stuff.

Yeah Lawrence, I wanted a little more information about the blender centrifuge. What procedures were taken to make it and balance it? I didn't see the steps to create it on your website.

Thanks Grundalizer I am glad my blog is inspiring you to build your own equipment. That is what I was hoping to do, as well as let people see that science does not have to always be expensive and can be done with items on hand. Good luck and keep me informed I love to hear from others and what they are doing.

To The Cancer Curer (Is this what your projects are for, a cancer cure? I hope so. I believe that citizen scientist can help in this too.) Sorry for the late reply. I have not really put step by step instructions on my blog. I have used it to show what I have created and to give others ideas. I have been thinking about adding step by step instructions.

Also I have thought about starting a amateur science magazine that would include step by step projects for equipment and experiments, etc. I am not sure whether I can come up with enough projects to start a magazine and keep it going. I might need help to keep up with new projects and experiments. But I will see, there is alot on my bog to start with.

To Srihari thank you, I hope you get something from my blog. Do you do many experiments?

Alright! Let us know if you start a step-by-step instruction section. Until then, I'll try to avoid injurying myself. 

[Lawrence]

I have now posted on my blog what I did to build my centrifuge. I hope this helps. I don't want to see you injure yourself.

Nice Lawrence, thanks a lot.

This would be cool. Use what you know at first to gain a bit of a following and encourage people to write articles for it. Most magazines (especially instructional ones) have avid readers who submit articles all the time. My friend does it for a car magazine and now companies send him all kinds of tools so he uses them in his articles as a form of advertisement and now he's got a garage full of free tools that are normally expensive. I know it's not the same thing because you are trying to use home made tools but it's just an example of how people write for magazines. This could really work. Good idea. Interested to see if you follow through. I'd read it.
