This is a video of woodworker Cory Rusch of Fortress Fine Woodworks building a beautiful flame cherry wooden table with a fire vortex in the middle (created via a fan and spiral of 3D printed tubes below). His woodworking is top-notch, but his fire vortex construction leaves something to be
Because some people have the drive to see even their cheesiest ideas to completion, this is the Swiss and cheddar inspired mechanical keyboard created by MakerWorld user DirkMcGirk. If you’re interested in your own cheeseboard, you can check out the project page HERE for details about printing your own keycaps.
Because what else is there to do on the farm after all the cows and chickens are fed, Youtuber Paton Machines went and built himself a penny farthing style bicycle, but a motorcycle and with a giant tractor wheel and engine. That’s…something. Something I wish I’d had to drive to

Because some people actually bother putting their know-how to good use, this is a video of Youtuber Engineezy building and playing a physical version of the Flappy Bird video game. It’s a very impressive build, featuring pipes that rotate on a conveyor belt, randomly adjusting their height as a player
Because some people never give up on their childhood dreams (mine are so far gone I can’t even remember what they were), this is a video of engineer James Bruton (previously) building a rideable Transformer. In drivable car form, it’s about the size of a Power Wheels for tweens, and
Because there’s nothing you can’t build with LEGO besides a comfortable sleeping partner, this is a video of Youtuber Dr. Engine constructing and demonstrating a rolling mill made from LEGO. The mini-factory can flatten, stamp, and cut shapes out of modeling clay. How about that! Full disclosure: when I started
