DIYs & Mods

Here’s a neat iPhone stand made out of pencils and rubber bands. It resembles the old Appleworks icon a bit, don’t you think? It was made by Gearfuse reader Roland Hutchinson who decided he’d rather be watching videos at work then actually working. Nice work, mate. Link

I don’t know what to say. What do you think I should say? Look at this fucking gun. It’s a life-size 1:1 replica of the Portal gun. Like dead on to every detail. It even glows blue. What the fuck is up with that? Some chick made it for cosplay. Yeah, cosplay. Such a waste… At least it blows previously ...

Or at least I’m assuming that’s the deal with Michael Jasper’s jazzy LEGO creation, which features Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon jamming out. My favorite part, aside from the well-crafted instruments, is the hair and face of the bass player. Look at that blonde doo! And that smile is too devilish for words. They must have that reefer madness that’s ...

No, but you’re close. This fucking bulldozer-like Hellchild of a machine is the work of Kai Grundt, a Canadian Metalworker who threw a V8 engine in a snow-blowing machine. Why the excess power? Well it snows quite a bit in Canada and like any sane person, Kai didn’t feel like throwing his back out and shoveling for hours. So what ...

Ben Heck, master modder of all things electronic, has taken a whole new route in his latest PC case mod. It seems Ben was kicking back a few brews of crisp, cold Miller Genuine Draft beer. So crisp, that Ben drank the whole thing, got completely drunk and configured the empty cardboard box to house a PC, CD-ROM drive and ...

The cat is back! Check out this wacky bed that’s shaped just like a cheeseburger. It was obviously created by some Internet-loving hipsters who had enough time and skill to craft such a bed. I mean look at the cheese. It’s a blanket! In my opinion, the best part of this bed is the top bun, which looks all too ...

Nothing like a little Vader to start your Friday off. This particular gas mask mod is part of The Vader Project, a collective that designs crazy-ass helmets that resemble Darth Vader. The Vader Project is curated by Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys. Kelemer and Marks gathered close to 100 of the hottest underground and pop surrealist ...

I like gummi bears. I like ’em a lot. Good thing artist and designer YaYa Chou likes gummi bears, too. She makes a slew of gummi bear goodies like this chandelier by linking them together with monofilament wire. The end product is a kick ass light source that’s good enough to eat. Other gummi bear works of YaYa Chou include ...

If you’re broke and squatting in an abandoned warehouse, you might as well make the best of it. Such is the mindset behind James Westwater’s “sustainable organic greenery domicile” better known as the Homeless Chateau. It has a small cooking and toilet area (gross), storage and a place to sleep – the essentials of any home. The caveat is that ...

It’s no news that we’re Arduino nuts here at Gearfuse, but lately, we haven’t seen anything that has really pushed the boundaries of the popular microcontroller. Now some smarty pants named Martin has come along with a schematic that allows real-time audio processing with the Arduino. This means you can create guitar FX pedals, equalizers and a whole lot of ...
