Log Splitting Design

Joseph Warren — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:32:14 +0000

I grew up having to split wood when we lived with a wood-burning stove so, I can assure you, these two videos would have done wonders for me, had YouTube been around. The first shows ‘Nordic splitting.’ This is a smart way to splinter off pieces of wood from a log.

The second video shows how to keep your wood bundled as you chop away, being sure to make it safer and quicker to split your logs.

Mushroom Chopper

Joseph Warren — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:15:42 +0000

By cutting out a step, yes the pun is intended, this mushroom chopper makes it easier to cut and collect mushrooms right off of the cutting board. As you press down, the blades slice, and then the cut mushrooms fill the transparent cup so you can add them right into your salads, casseroles or soups. Smart thinking!

Transformer Shoes

I thought these Transformer shoes were pretty cool. They even look like the real shoes. The only way these could be cooler is if you could actually wear them. I wonder – is anything out there that has not been done in the style of Transformers?

Smart Drinkware: Innovative Design

Joseph Warren — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:53:10 +0000

This is a clever design. A tea cup with a mixing ball that you swirl to stir. And with a protruding, curved base, the ball does not fall out as you tilt back to drink. Clever, to say the least.

Outlet Gaskets

Joseph Warren — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:03:17 +0000

Yeah, that’s right, a gasket for your switch plates and outlet covers. I have read where this is a great idea to maintain a seal this winter when watching heating costs. Do your own homework, but it looks like heat can make its way out from more than just windows and doors.

Product Innovation: Linking Up

Joseph Warren — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:34:12 +0000

This set of coffee cups makes fetching coffee a breeze. No need for everyone to make a second trip back to the coffee machine when you can just link your cups together. The ceramic mugs have male and female ports and plugs to join together as you scoot around the office passing out a fresh pick-me-up.

Take a look at this revolutionary structural design method of ‘board on frame’, made famous by IKEA. This smart design process has been documented so you can see it all happen in their European manufacturing facility. Enjoy!

This video is from National Geographic’s Ultimate Factories Program.

Delightful Fires

Winter seems to be so near, and these fireplace designs are looking so inviting. There is something about a well-designed fireplace that is welcoming and cozy, even to just look at.

Over the Top Concept Design

Joseph Warren — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:09:30 +0000

Growing up as a fan of Transformers and Mask, this Toyota concept car really hits home. The colors and features stir my imagination. Slide-out seating, large screen monitors, bike rack, energy drink dispenser; everything screams overkill.

Custom Corkscrew Cellars

Joseph Warren — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:22:10 +0000

Small spaces can engender the best of designs. So many designs have been centered around tight quarters, but not like this. A company called Spiral Cellars has found a niche market servicing the wealthy wine aficionado.

Using a cut-out hole in the floor beneath common areas in the home, these guys create spiral staircases that lead to small depths; so small in fact, that you can do no more than grab a bottle of wine. A cool factor, indeed, to have such a cool hidden cellar, but at what cost? Plenty, I am sure.
