David Long wrote me to tell me about his and Antoine Morris’ project called “The Mobile Office”. Together, they form “The Practice of Everyday Design”. The Mobile Office is part bed, part work area, all Frankenstein.

The Mobile Office was constructed from discarded materials within a one block radius from the site. All the material was transported to the site with our bikes and a makeshift dolly. The only purchased items were the hardware used to hold it together.

Sorry, no instructions. I guess you need to take whatever materials you can find and go from there.

And they ride fixed-gear bikes too!

A few weeks ago, I swapped out the driver’s seat in my trusty Volvo 850 because it had an electrical problem. I definitely don’t want to throw out the old seat because it’s a super comfortable leather seat. It’s in my basement, waiting for me to make something with it.

Here’s something that I could do with it if I was a gamer and had some room: an arcade-style racing console.

Since I don’t nearly have enough room for something like that, I’ll probably just convert mine into an office chair.

A confusing title indeed. Is it Mario that is super, or is it the table? Either way, this is a pretty cool piece of DIY furniture. And one could inspire himself from that table to create other things.

No instructions are provided, but non are really needed. Just ask the person at your favorite tiling store.  They will explain how to lay out the glue and the grout, and everything else you need to know.

This is a nice instructable made from old crutches and miscellaneous bike parts. The best thing is you can adjust its height. I like the design, but crutches are pretty expensive, so unless you have access to broken ones, it’s a bit prohibitive. I love the design though, it’s a really good example of repurposed objects.
