    This is the demonic faced armor helmet crafted by DarkHeart Armoury. I would not hesitate to wear that into battle. Or the bedroom. Hisssssssss, call me The Demon Layer, Bringer of Carnal Pleasure! Baby? Where are you going? Wait -- I'll take the helmet off! *door slams*... / Continue →

    This is the cowboy hat made out of an old toaster and pizza pan by DeviantARTist Blue Fox. If you went back in time and wore it in the old west, everybody would think you came from the future. And they would be right, because that's exactly what you just did. Thanks to chi... / Continue →

    This is the $12 laser-cut Millennium Falcon model sold by Strapya World. It comes as two sheets of flat metal, but with enough time and patience, you can turn it into a little little Millennium Falcon. With less time and patience you can turn it into accidentally stabbing you... / Continue →

    This is Futurama's Bender made into a woodburning stove by metalworker Rob Halftroll, who had a troll father and never heard the end of it on the school playground. I know that feel. You just toss some logs in, douse them with alcohol (Bender insists), add a flame, and WHOOSH... / Continue →

    This is a time lapse video of iron-infused silly putty swallowing a rare earth magnet over the span of an hour and a half (similar to this one I posted a while back but different because that one I posted a long time ago and this one I'm posting today). It's the kind of thing ... / Continue →

    This is a retired LEGO injection mold that pumped out 120-million six-stud bricks over its lifetime. That's a serious work ethic. LEGO molds these days? They come fresh out of school and expect some cushy job to just be handed to them, then get all pissy when it doesn't happ... / Continue →

    A prospector in Victoria, Australia, unearthed a 177oz (~11-lb) gold nugget he found using nothing but a metal detector (oh yeah? Well I found gold using nothing but a pan and my own two eyes!). The gold itself is worth just under $300,000 by weight, but the piece will likely ... / Continue →
