Dr. Action’s Distraction Contraption
Sam built a small arcade machine. He has a great photoset showing the build process. Appears like he used Lego parts here and there, nice!
Greebly Coffee Table From E-Waste
Though we see lots of furniture built from old computer parts, electronics, and other scrap, I especially like this one because I think it provides an object lesson in how to do this sort of thing and make it look good: Greeble it up! When you’re basically just glomming bits together to achieve a utilitarian form, the more visual complexity you can achieve in the surface texture, the better.
Furniture Made From Close-Packed Tennis Balls
Actually these HEX chairs from designer Hugh Hayden made the rounds back in 2009, but they’re just now coming across my radar via this round-up of tennis ball furniture that recently tripped one of my Google auto-alerts. There are plenty of unusual chairs in the world, and though I like these better than many, I’m more interested in Hayden’s process for joining the tennis balls together.
Make: Projects – Glass Bead Projection Screen
Here’s a method for applying a high-gain optical projection surface using common, inexpensive materials—specifically, flat white interior latex paint and glass sandblasting media. It began as a series of experiments to produce a DIY “screen paint” by directly mixing these two ingredients. Though failing in themselves, these tests led to the serendipitous discovery of this process.
