Using shot of various shapes and sizes will make polishing in crevices more effective, providing a more even shine. The process: Add enough shot to cover the bottom of the tumbler, then add a small amount of water. Just enough to cover the shot will d...
Mike shows you how to recreate a pair of baby booties in a design style he has created himself. He uses different yarns to create different sized booties. Thicker yarn will create larger booties than thin yarn does. He adds a row of eyelash yarn on row eight to beautify the design, yet it is optional. You can leave it off if you like. Also, on the finished booties he plans to add lacing on the front by weaving baby shoe laces, cords or string through the front area in a shoe lace pattern unde...

The 18th puzzle is called "Synapses". See how to solve it in Assassin's Creed 2. Code wheel puzzle: Your first clue is to line up 5 with a single tree-looking symbol. The key here is the weird-looking equation on the left, which offers a hint as to the progression of the symbols.
Figure out the 17th puzzle, entitled "The Bunker", in Assassin's Creed 2. Code wheel puzzle: Here’s a tricky one; your clues are “<” and “2,” and the only advice you’ll get from your handlers is that maybe there’s “something we can count” on the strange symbols. In this case that “something” is the number of times each symbol bends sharply. Don’t expect consistency across the wheel on this one; just take a look at what symbols flank the blank spaces and pick a shape with the number of bends t...

Visitazione's Secret: This is Tomb number 6. The grave of all graves. The entrance to the tomb is on top of the first level of the building's roof. You can pretty easily climb the building on the eastern face and then shimmy around to the north face and continue up. There's a small nook where the building's tower meets the first level of roof, and in there you'll find the entrance.
San Marco's Secret: Tomb 5 is not easy, so be careful. Getting into the Basilica without the use of Leonardo's flying machine is tricky. However, chances are that you've already penetrated the massive building's defenses in the mission If at First You Don't Succeed.... But if you haven't yet completed that mission, here's how to get to the tomb's entrance.
Ravaldino's Secret: The entrance is sort of tucked away behind a tower on the other side of the city's water way to the west. Jump in the water and swim around the north end of the tower and you should find the entrance pretty easily. It's just off the water.
Torre Grossa's Secret: The entrance is on ground level, and it's not hard to find. Look for a vaguely-narrow arched hallway just off the street and look for the entrance on the wall to the right.
Il Duomo's Secret: Super simple. The entrance is on the north end of the Basilica Santa Maria del Fiore. It's on street level, and really anyone could open it but only you're smart enough.
X Marks the Spot: Activate the odd glowing thing and then walk up to the wall of codex pages to bring up a puzzle. Use eagle vision and you can spot the faint red outlines of a picture. You need to rotate all of the pieces around into their correct positions in order to complete the picture. Start by going around the perimeter of the puzzle and arranging the border—it's the easiest. Once you've got the border in place, go for the inner pieces.
Play Along: At the start of the mission, you simply need to follow the leader through the city. Do your best not to bump into anyone, as Ezio will drop the chest if you do. Eventually, you read the end of the trail and a cut scene takes over.
All Things Come to He Who Waits: After parting ways with Leonardo, break into the walled-off area to the northeast and trigger this mission via a waypoint on the parapet walk. After the cut scene, you need to trail a courier that zigs a zagging path through the city. Stay far enough behind him that he doesn't get curious, but also be sure to keep him in your sights. If he gets separated from you by a wall, a countdown timer hurries you to catch back up.
Caged Fighter: Make your way across town and you'll find an injured soldier on the rooftops that gives you some new information on finding Bartolomeo, who should in turn help you with Silvio. You get a large green area added to your map, but note that it's overlapped by a restricted area. Expect trouble.
