Hi Everyone,

I love pictorial and DIY threads and the feedback is often that they are inspiring and enjoyable to many others as well. Having done a couple such threads myself I know that they can be time consuming to plan and make, but I also know from experience that they are very useful guides and references when one is feeling creative (Not to mention that these threads show off some really cool projects that new users would probably enjoy). I thought since I've noticed a number of these threads lately (and remembered a couple from the past) it would be nice to have a ref. thread.

I am including links to the threads I know of, but if there are others please add them.

As I said, I'm sure there are more DIY/Pictorials that I can't recall at the moment, so add them if you think of any. Whether or not this should be a pinned reference would be completely up to the Moderators, but it would be nice as there are some very unique and re-readable threads out there that new members may not be seeing.
