We're suckers for any project that involves Legos, and the DIY gurus at weblog Make play to our weaknesses with this saucy Lego recharger and key holder. All you'll need is the appropriate Lego bricks (naturally), some screws, your devices' chargers, and a few common tools. The guide actually takes the process a little further than we would, cutting the ends of each device charger and fastening them to a Lego brick that, when connected to the base brick, completes the circuit and starts charging. (The process requires some wire stripping and soldering.) If we were to tackle this one, we'd probably skip all the messy cutting and soldering and just drape the plugs through the bricks rather than make dedicated Lego charger dongles out of them. Still, whichever route you take, the geeky end result is pretty nice. If you want to get really serious about your Lego design, check out previously mentioned Lego Digital Designer to prototype and then buy the necessary parts. See less

Some of you might remember a few weeks back when I posted about this genius knife block design by Martin Robitsch. The Schaschlik knife block costs $110, and my knives are just not worth it. But for a simple little DIY test of skills, it seemed like a great project. So, as promised, I built one myself. Well, I didn’t “build” it myself as much as direct my father and sister who are better at powertools than I am. So here’s how we did it. I bought two 3′ long laminated pine shelves from Home Depot for $4 each. Then I bought many, many bags of bamboo skewers from the 99 cent store. I measured out the wood, and my father and sister did more than help me cut them as close to even as possible on his table saw. We assembled them with wood glue and countersunk 2″ finishing nails in the corners. The I sanded and sanded and sanded, by hand, and then with an power orbital sander. Last step was 3 coats of water-based varnish with light hand sandings in between. All in all, about 5 hours worth of... See less
