DIY - How to Make a $5000 Platform Bed from scratch!
Do you need a new bed? Do you want a new $5000 platform bed for a lot less?
Here’s a cool DIY on how to make your own platform bed from scratch.
I sincerely do love this DIY since I own a platform bed myself.
The last step to completing my bed was upholstering the entire particle board box. I purchased enough sheets of one-centimeter-thick foam from a local foam store. The foam store employees agreed that foam thicker than 1 cm is difficult to upholster using just a simple staple gun. Using a regular staple gun from the hardware store, I covered the four box sides of the bed. I tried to not staple anywhere that would be visible or touchable on the top or side of the bed. Instead, I stapled on the inside edge of the boxes where the mattress would hide the staples and under the lip of each empty-bottomed box side. The bed in it’s partly upholstered state is shown here below.

DIY - How to Hack a Skateboard!
This isn’t really, technically a skateboard but it is a type of a skateboard you can make.
Here’s a great instruction on how to hack your own skateboard from scratch although I do suggest buying one if you can afford it.
I just finished out my latest project. A contribution for the DIY (Do it yorself) community. Since I love skateboards I just couldn’t start anywhere else. Inspired by the amount of waste produced by the growth of consumerism in Europe, specially here in Frankfurt, seen through the weekly dispose of old stuff in the middle of the streets. I wanted to show one way of rethinking the use of old materials in the example of a DIY skateboard.

SensoGlove may Help you become a Scratch Golfer!
Here’s a cool grip-pressure monitoring gadget that will definitely help anyone to swing the club better through monitoring grip pressure.
One of the biggest challeges in golf is that you need to keep your grip pressure at about the same level during the course of your whole swing. Now, I can do that simply through training and light hands but if you need more help, the SensoGlove might do a perfect job of it. This SensoGlove will alert you for how stable your grip pressure is throughout your swing.

Foam Car built by a Lithuanian!
A Lithuanian builds a car from scratch using polyurethane foam. It’s an amazing work of an art. Perhaps he did it because foam weighs less than other meterials?
The car is probably not your daily driver but still, with the 30″ chrome wheels, you can at least look good in it.
Polyurethane, the wonder-polymer used in everything from appliances and textiles to electronics and footwear, is apparently the car building material-of-choice for this “sculptor” in Lithuania. You’d recognize his particular mixture of the foam as the same type of messy stuff we use to fill cracks and gaps around windows. Tossing all OSHA and DOT regulations out the window (no problem in Lithuania), this crafty coach-builder mixes up batches of PU foam in 2-liter soda bottles before “applying” them to the framework of his creation. Held in place by scrap cardboard until it sets hard, the foam can then be sculpted, sanded, primed, and eventually painted.
