The concept of repurposing a wine bottle into a container garden watering device
has been around for a while. I was intrigued at first, because I love to see glass in the garden, and the idea seemed practical as well as pretty. However, after trying several different methods and contraptions I gave up, until recently. After thinking it through, I made a trip to the hardware store with a very specific idea in mind: use copper tubing to make a wine bottle funnel

Faith in your spouse is a crucial element in a lasting, loving relationship. But when the doom of an entire kingdom rests on a single death defying act of ultimate heroism, having lots of practice definitely helps too. With their display of top form and precision I can only guess Princess Cadence and Shining Armour must have belonged to a cheer-leading team in their younger days. Either that or they participate in possibly the strangest version of Caber Toss.
Both figures and stand are carved out of Philippine mahogany while the gears and Cadence’s tiara are made of narra hardwood. They’re hand painted in enamel and with a protective flat lacquer top coat. The pair stand at 10″ from Shining Armour’s hoof to the tip of Cadence’s horn while the entire piece measures 13″ high, 7 1/2″ long and 3 1/2″ wide. It took 148 1/2 hours to complete — via Youtube

Some married men don’t wear a wedding ring because they’re up to no good, but others skip the hardware because it can be dreadfully dangerous in everyday life. Certain jobs or hobbies can make the wedding ring a hazard, but putting it on and taking it back off is hard thanks to men’s large knuckles. Designer and machinist Jeff McWhinney set out to create a safer wedding band that could easily be taken off and put back on — and it looks really, really cool. The Active Ring features a hinged opening mechanism that allows it to open with a simple motion and quickly clamp back into place — via Dornob
Who doesn’t want a secret door bookcase? We have a space in our living room that I’ve been planning to conceal with just such a door for 10 years, but I’ve kept putting it off because doing something like this has to be done well. I wanted the carpentry to be of high quality and the mechanism to be rock solid, and I finally got the time, resources and hardware to make it to the standard I wanted. This is a long instructable, because it covers not just the construction of the bookcase but also some other features — it has a unique locking mechanism based on a sliding book, multiple secret compartments inside the bookcase (aside from the big one behind it!), and it’s fitted with electronics that generate some geeky but fun sound and light effects — via Instructables
Mondo has announced their new line of clothing called the Mondo 237 Collection, based on the carpet pattern outside room 237 of the Overlook Hotel in the movie The Shining. The orange and magenta pattern trimmed in brown, designed by Sal Giliberto will only mean something to those who know what it represents, but that may be enough to sell a bunch of sweaters, cardigans, scarves, ski masks, door mats, and rugs. The products can be pre-ordered through 10 May and will ship in August — via Neatorama
