Here’s a pretty good group of paper templates you can download, print and make your own papercraft car. The site is not in english, but it’s pretty easy to figure out and best of all – it has a lot of paper cars I haven’t seen on other sites, like 5 different types of Fiats. Link.
Homemade ergo-monitor riser made from a half-inch thick piece of 24″ x 48″ birch plywood, some ABS plastic drain pipe (1 1/2″ diameter), and some plastic spray paint. Very simple, under $20 and might save some neck pain. Link.
Cory writes “I got a CVS disposable video camera a few weeks ago with the idea that I would use it to make some videos of local trails to put up on my site. I also saw a nice howto for mounting the camera to a helmet that inspired me. The howto I saw involved drilling the helmet, and I did not want to do that, so I came up with my own design. My mount design is simple, easy to mount and dismount, does not destroy the helmet or affect the balance of the helmet, and is very cheap.” Link.
This is really clever, it’s an all cardboard PC case, you pop out all the perforated sections, fold it up and install your PC parts. With millions of PCs thrown away each year, this could potentially be a great way to cut down on the waste. While this one from Japan looks a little dull, there is a lot of art projects that use cardboard boxes, it’s just a matter of time until these look extremely cool and perhaps will be artwork on their own.

Joe writes “So I was sitting around thinking of what our soon-to-be-born kid should be for Halloween this year. I thought that an R2D2 costume would look pretty cute, so I decided to make an iron-on for a onsie. It turned out pretty good, so I want to share it. Print this on an iron-on transfer. Iron it on a onsie. Bam! Cheap baby costume.” Link.
Jacob writes “Brew Prison Wine from oranges and ketchup, roll cheap cigarettes from spinach, render soap from bacon, and even more gloriously discouraged DIY projects for sarcastic, bitter Makers.” Link.
