Q: There are a variety of smart phone apps for iPhones and Androids that you can use to change the sound of your voice, many of them free. New apps are always coming out, so check out the app store to find out what's available. Some of them allow you to record your voice and play it back in manipulated form, while others allow you to speak into the phone and project weird robot noises and other big changes. One app, Call Voice Changer, even lets you make calls with your new fake voice. You can use a Digital Audio Workstation (D.A.W) on a Windows or Mac. Garageband, ProTools or Ableton can all be used to record and manipulate your voice, then change it.  Use effects and plugins like distortion, pitch shifters, speed adjustments to make your voice sound gravely, low, or high, according to what you want. Record yourself saying common or funny phone phrases like, "What do you want?" or "Can I take a message?" or "My son won't be coming to school today" to pull off the gag. Play music just loud enough so that your voice can be heard over it. You can use other recorded sounds as well, including traffic noise, white noise and static, or even the sounds of heavy machinery.  Another person can help you by making humming noises or other sounds while you are speaking that have the same effect as recorded sounds. Put a handkerchief or other piece of cloth over the phone’s voice input area and move it around to create a static effect. Try using different materials for a different effect. One of the easiest and fastest ways to change your voice is to buy a little megaphone with silly effects to speak through. Voice changers can be found in magic or joke gift shops, as well as more serious surveillance stores, and even Halloween stores.  These toys are usually available at a wide range of prices, and the cost will usually determine the quality. Even the cheap ones help to make your voice sound a lot different.  A regular megaphone can be used to change the sound of your voice too. Just stand back from the phone, or you'll blow the other person away.

Q: Start by attaching your fence to the top of a post using a zip tie, but don't tie it tightly just yet. Now, do the same for the bottom, but tie it tightly.  Be sure to leave about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of fencing to account for hills and dips that can decrease when you stretch. If you have any extra fencing, staple it flush to the ground. Feed the monofilament wire through the top tip—leaving 1 foot (0.30 m) extra to tie it to the post—and tighten the zip tie. Finally, tie the excess wiring around the post. Skip this step if you didn't purchase monofilament wiring. Move to the right or left down the perimeter and pull the fencing and monofilament wire along with you. Always attach the fencing to the top and bottom of the posts via zip ties, taking care to stretch them out straight so theirs is enough tension that they don't hang loose. Use monofilament wire to keep the top of the fencing straight and secure. If your fencing has "memory" and retains a curved shape, stretch it out 3 to 4 feet (0.91 to 1.22 m) and bend it into the opposite direction that it was rolled in. Attach the hooked end to the bottom of the fence—over the monofilament wire—and drive the kinked end into the ground with a hammer or rubber mallet. Be sure to attach each bottom ground stake about 5 feet (1.5 m) from each other. Always drive the kinked end of the stake into the ground—this prevents it from coming loose.
A: Connect the fence from the bottom of the first post to the top. Fasten your monofilament wire along the top of the fence. Continue connecting fencing to your posts. Fasten the fence to the ground using bottom ground stakes.

Q: Use a bevel tool to cut the square off of the edge of your leather. This will keep the edges from rolling up over time. It is only necessary to bevel one side of the leather: the back side can remain flat. Pay special attention to any sharp corners on your leather piece. These will need to be beveled separately, creating a diagonal or cut corner. With your edges beveled, you can move on to adding whatever finish is appropriate for your leather. You can use a resist to keep it a particular area clear of the finish or to reduce the coloring. Just be sure to always use gloves when using dyes or finishes....unless you like your hands a different color!  Tandy sells excellent finishes in a variety of colors. To apply these, use a paper towel, wool dauber, or a natural or very old sponge (regular sponges contain a chemical that does not react well with the leather). You can also use dyes. There are dyes intended for leather, but some leathers can also be dyed with shoe polish! These should be applied in the same way as the finishes. Acrylic paint thinned with water works on leather, if you'd prefer a painted look. Just use a normal paint brush to apply it. This works better for smaller, detailed sections than larger ones. You'll want to smooth the beveled edges of your piece after dying it. You can use a special tool for this purpose but the cheaper option is to simply rub it with a paper towel or canvas cloth! This will make the edges look shiny and professional. If you plan on doing any stitching, you'll want to add a stitching groove to keep your stitches from being worn down over time. There is a tool for this purpose called a stitch groover. Once you've cut a channel into your leather where the stitching will go, use a pricking iron or overstitch wheel to lightly mark where your individual stitches will go. This will help create an even, professional look. Finally, punch the individual holes you marked using a piercing awl.  When buying an overstitch wheel or pricking iron, get a shorter one to start off with, as it will be more versatile and make it easier to turn corners. When starting a new stitching line or having to otherwise pick up the overstitch wheel to start again, place the first spoke down in the hole of the last section of the line. This will keep the stitches even. Before sewing, you'll want to add any other finishing touches that you know you'll need, like adding snaps. Be aware, however, that adding things like snaps is difficult and requires its own separate set of tools. Once that's done, add your stitching and you're basically done. Rub the whole surface with a cloth to get a nice, smooth final look. As a final measure, you can add a clear final finish on after doing your stitching, if you want to. This is not necessary, however. Enjoy your new creation and don't forget to keep practicing!
