Crafted by Swiss designers team’by’wellis, this is a video demonstration of a wooden dining table that can expand its width without the use of traditional leaves. That…looks expensive.

Because nothing says Australia quite like kangaroos and boomerangs, this is a video of the two combined into a kangaroo shaped boomerang crafted by Redditor Ravi from Texas (wait, what?). Damn, that thing flies NICE. Did you know there are left-handed and right-handed boomerangs? I did not, which might explain
