I had the idea to make a step platform for the Wii board (like the ones for step aerobics that sell for 50 dollars). I made it last night and tried it out today and I got a pretty decent workout with it!
I love making stuff and it was a fun and easy project, even though I messed it up the first try. It was all wobbly but I realized what I did wrong - I hammered the sides together before making sure it was steady and straight. :)
I just nailed 2x6's into a rectangle, nailed on a plywood top, then glued and stapled a rubber mat on top so the Wii board won't slip. It cost around 10 dollars and it works great! I spray painted it green just for fun and because it was the easiest spray paint can to get to.
I would recommend this project to anybody who wants to get a little more out of their Wii fitness, has a little woodworking experience, and wants to save money, rather than buying a 50 dollar step that might not be the right size. The dimensions for my step is around 6"x15"x21".
So I discovered a few more functions on our camera. The photo above is enhanced with the "Starburst Effect". Can you see the twinkle in Toby's eyes?
"Happy Faces". Apparently it's supposed to enhance people's smiles. Or in this case, makes them creepy.
"Partial Color". Isn't it pretty?
"Fisheye Lens". Another creepy effect when you try it on a closeup face.
Another fisheye lens enhancement. Josslyn looks a bit strange!
Another fisheye lens...
No enhancement here, just having fun with Toby's flashcards.
