Eccentric Cubicle
Another great title from the guys behind MAKE Magazine, the Eccentric Cubicle is written by a true, hardcore do-it-yourselfer who shows you step-by-step how to build some pretty amazing things to protect, defend, and supply your cubicle!
The geniuses behind MAKE Magazine found
Canadian Kaden Harris - a builder of really neat
things. What makes this book stand out is the way Mr. Harris shows you
how to build his "Office Accessories from a Parallel Universe". With a
wicked sense of humor much like that of our own author Dave Hrynkiw (Junkbots,
Bugbots, and Bots on Wheels), his footnotes and construction
tips make each project well worth reading carefully. After all, the
back cover describes him as "On the ragged edge between art
and the craftsmanship, he builds odd things that do stuff... or no, he
builds things that do odd stuff...or, no...that's not
it...um...er...OK...he builds things that do stuff oddly.".
That about sums up his style!
The "Nano Projects" that feature techniques and mechanisms useful to the main projects are an excellent sub-read!
What exactly are the projects in the "Eccentric Cubicle"? Here's a short list:
382 full colour pages with really good quality diagrams make reading this book a joy. DO NOT read it in bed, as you will easily stay up past your bedtime and be bleary-eyed at work. Good thing you have that Haze-O-Matic to hide behind while you nap at your desk...
