Speaking of outrageous case mods, Jeffrey Stephenson has been cranking out the retro enclosures for some time now. Over at Core77, he shares his latest work in progress, a danish modern piece fit for Don Draper himself. Pretty great.
I've featured some pretty out-of-control case mods on DudeCraft in the past, but this Dreadnought that lights up, speaks and has spinning guns, has to be right near the top.
Ran into this little gem of a story about the longest recorded photographic exposures in history. Absolutely fascinating images. Well, to me anyway. Maybe you think it's dreck.:-)
I'm loving this campaign for Pilot Ultra-Fine Ballpoint Pens, with points so fine, you can draw some awesome looking tattoos on all your LEGO characters. Sweet!
The one-handed, battery-powered, arduino-controlled, statement machine! txtBOMBER allows you to roll out any sentiment you so desire just by moving it along a flat surface. According to its inventor, Felix Vorreiter, it only speaks German at the moment.
Just happened to run across this insanely detailed and highly stylized, paper version of Queen by People Too over at Behance this morning. I mean, check out all the little bits on Brian May's Guitar and Freddie Mercury's costume. Pretty amazing.
My love for small buildings is no secret. Something about shackitecture that reminds me of the forts I used to build when I was a kid, I guess. Also, the draw of ultra simple living. So, obviously I'm loving this 130 sq. ft. signal shed by Ryan Lingard Design in collaboration with Greg Morrow and Sons Inc. More pics and story over at architecture4us.
For an exhibit called "Back in the Good Old Days", artist Fabien Clerc created this fully functioning, highly decorated, ceramic DJ rig that looks like it would sit more comfortably in a Regency drawing room than in a dance club. Nonetheless, I'm diggin' it.
Paul Overton is a prolific blogger, maker, writer, and ukulele player living in Durham, NC with four dogs, two co-conspirators, and a lawn that makes his octogenarian neighbors want to call the authorities. He delights in the unusual and can often be found in his tiny studio next to the record shop, whipping up some sort of self-indulgent nonsense for his own amusement.

About DudeCraft
DudeCraft represents a different kind of tribe in the world of making things, intentionally blurring the lines between, art, craft, engineering, and the good old “Can Do” spirit. Makers of all stripes are welcome here and are encouraged to join the conversation, no matter what their enthusiasms. Guys who knit, girls who weld, it’s all the same on DudeCraft. We are people who make cool stuff, have an urge to share it, and don’t mind explaining how we did it, so that other folks can benefit from our experience.
