I enjoyed reading this presentation that Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino, co-founder of maker biz Tinker London, gave at Made North. ADS raps about the familiar theme of the decline of traditional industry. I think that when we talk about industry, most people have a romantic view that ignores the reasons why we stopped “making things” in the […]
Textile artist Karine Jollet made these beautifully ornate sculptures of human body parts from fabric. This kinda makes me wish my brain was machine washable…and maybe my liver too.

I imagine Instructables user hellboy started out looking for a subtle, understated case design to show off his single-digit Nixie tube clock called CYCLOPS. Something well-crafted but minimal, and very modern, that would highlight the function of the device while tastefully eschewing decoration for its own sake. And then he thought: Screw that. You only […]
Folks over at House4Hack in Johannesburg are developing an app, called Paint3D, that will allow you to sketch and print directly to a 3D printer from your Android device. Their app allows you to create an extruded polygon mesh that’s then converted to GCode, stored on an SD card, and fed to the printer. Their goal is to create an easy to use 3D tool that does everything from the Android device.
Redditor IntenseCircusFire made this excellent replica Donkey Kong arcade cabinet out of MDF wood. He used plans from Jakobud.com and it took him about 30 hours to build. Along the way, he took tons of photos of the build process and he shares plenty of tips and equipment suggestions if you’d like to build your own. And since the computer inside the cabinet is running MAME, the free arcade machine emulator, his game selection is not limited only to Donkey Kong, despite the nice decal job.
In this edition of Tiny Yellow House, Derek “Deek” Diedricksen builds a project from his new book Humble Homes, Simple Shacks. This 72 square foot writing retreat is made to double as a future greenhouse. In classic Deek style, the cabin employs a very simple building approach and includes several recycled elements. It’s spin-off of his […]
John “johngineer” De Cristofaro wrote a great tutorial on building an ATTiny2313 prototyping board. I created it because I use the Tiny2313 a lot, and I was tired of wiring up all of the above each time I wanted to work on a new circuit. Some things, like ISP headers and ceramic resonators, are not […]
