Because miniatures make everything better, this is a video of Nerdforge’s Martina and Hansi constructing a coffee table with a miniature library inside, complete with bookshelves, a desk, and little lights. The finished project is stunning — way nicer than my coffee table. “That looks like a keg with a

This is a clever dice rolling machine designed and assembled by The Karakuri Channel from 3D printed parts. When USB powered, it’s capable of rolling two mini dice over and over, collecting the dice after a roll, sending them up an elevator, and rerolling (complete with two rings that descend

Because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, Unnecessary Inventor Matty built an office chair see-saw (we called them teeter-totters when I was growing up). It also rotates on its base and can move on wheels for extra dimensions of fun/motion sickness. My coworkers better hope it

This is a video from a burrito factory (that, despite the mess everywhere, is still way more hygienic than the places I like to eat) of a SIGMA Equipment Solbern BF2 SS Dual Lane Burrito Folding machine doing its thing. Based on all the loose tortillas and filling thrown about,

This is a video of luthier Burls Art making two electric guitars with thin layers of translucent slate, complete with backlit tops so light filters through the stone from behind. That’s beautiful. Too beautiful to smash on stage at the end of a concert? Considering all the time and energy

Because bad ideas come in all shapes and sizes, this is a video of Youtuber Gregulations constructing a motorcycle version of a penny farthing using a Yamaha YZF-R6 and a bunch of custom built parts. Despite having training wheels, the resulting cycle has deathtrap written all over it, and at

Constructed by HackADay user mircemk using as many 3D printed parts as possible, this self-balancing cube uses an Arduino Nano microcontroller and MPU6050 gyroscope / accelerometer to control 3 motor-driven reaction wheels to keep itself balanced — even standing on one corner on a slope! Me? I can’t stand on

This is an Instagram video of a man constructing a “quick and easy” carnival style spinning ride in his backyard using a tree and some lumber (which was also once trees). The ride features seating for four, and is powered by spinning the riders around the tree to build tension
