Biscuit joinery requires a specialised tool, but it also provides a quick, simple joint that is strong enough for most applications. Here's how a biscuit joiner works, and a few applications when you might use one.

Dovetail joints are, in my opinion, the prettiest of joinery techniques. They provide incredibly strong joints that, if done correctly, don't even need glue to hold them together. However, they also require much more skill and precision to create than other joinery methods.

A mortise and tenon joint is one of the most basic and strong ways to join two boards together, but it takes a bit more time (and more tools) than some joinery techniques.

Dowels are a simple way to make glued joints even stronger by using small pegs to keep things together.

We spent last week learning about the basics of 3D modelling using an application called Rhino 3D. Here's the complete guide that will teach you everything you need to know to get started.

This week we've been learning 3D modelling with Rhino 3D. If you've been following along, congratulations! You've made it to the end of the series and are now well on your way to being able to model up just about anything. Today we're looking at how to bring everything you learned together and additional resources you can use to learn more.

This week we've been learning 3D modelling with Rhino 3D. Today we're taking a look at object selection and transposition.

This week we've been learning 3D modelling with Rhino 3D and have spent the first two days getting acquainted with the software. Today we're taking a look at viewports and construction planes.

Yesterday we introduced you to 3D modeling using an app called Rhino 3D. Today we're diving in to the interface and toolbars so you can get to know your new environment.

Do you have a product idea you want to create, or even send to a 3D printer like Ponoko the Makerbot? Do you love concept design, character art or just visualising your ideas in 3D space? In this Lifehacker Night School Series we're going to take a look at how you can do all of that by learning the basics of 3D modelling.

We spent last week learning all about your home network, your routers, and all the cool things you can do with them. Here's the complete guide that will teach you how to pick out the best network hardware, get to know it better, make it perform at its best, and access just about anything on your network from practically anywhere in the world.

You've picked out your hardware and set up the basics, optimised your network for speed and performance, and set up remote access. Now it's time for a little fun. Here's a look at some cool bonus features you may have on your router and how you can learn more.

You've picked out your hardware and set up the basics, and configured your network to perform at its best and fastest. Now it's time to open the gates to the outside world. In this lesson, we're going to walk you through how to set up your router so you access your home computers from anywhere -- and with your own friendly, easy-to-remember URL.

You've picked your router and set up all the basics, so now it's time to optimise your network. In this lesson, we're going to look at how to improve your network's speed and wireless signal so it's operating at full capacity.

In the first lesson of our networking night school, we looked at the basics of router hardware. Today we're going to start setting things up.

Home networking is something we all have to deal with, but it can be confusing as heck. This week, we're going to turn you into a networking wizard, starting with getting to know the most important device on your network: the router.

Last week, we showed you how to build your own custom PC, from picking the parts, to putting it together and installing your OS. Here's the complete guide, along with a printable PDF version that you can use as a reference.

This week we ran through the basic steps of building your first computer, but there's a lot more info out there. Here's some more reading that we recommend for both the building process and what to do after you've built your machine.

Now that you've put everything together, you're past all the difficult stages — the rest is a cakewalk. Here's how to install your operating system and get everything up and running.
