Primaries in Routing

Primaries in Routing

Lemme ask you first if you know exactly what a CNC machine is? Do you? When I first had to write a post about one, I had to look it up! But I did a little reading, a little learning, then I knew what it was – something I WANTED. Take a look at all the things Yanko’s written about that have to do with a CNC machine and you’ll notice that it just doesn’t come up that often. But here one is: the “RedBlueCNC,” designed by Nick Santillan. This one’s spiffy. It’s got blue, it’s got red, it’s got yellow, it’s got the ability to take commands.

Sitting on a Twist

Sitting on a Twist

Welcome back to new antiquity. Back to the future, that’s what this is. This project goes by the name “Ionic Bench” and is the work of deigner Laurie Beckerman. Inspired, as I’m sure you already recognize, by the top of an ionic column, taking from it not the hard stone thickness, but instead the lines only, creating a light a lovely bench full of space and due to its construction: resilience.

Slide That Chair Together

Slide That Chair Together

Slide it! Make sure everything fits! Woola! How lovely it is! Made entirely out of CNC-cut pieces of wood, this right here goes by the name “Android-System.” It’s a chair that will come to you in a bunch of parts, flat, and you’ve got to put them all together. Sounds simple? That’s because it totally is simple. Just like that.

Each One that Sits on Goes Ahhh

Each One that Sits on Goes Ahhh

That’s a comfort “Ahhh”, not a scream. Though you MIGHT be screaming when you find out how excellent this chair is. That’s what we’re talking about. It’s a seat that goes by the name “Ipanema armchair,” and it’s oh, so pretty. Made out of medium densified hardwood with a multi-laminated shell wood. This sort of combo allows for a great number of shapes, they say, and your eyeballs are about to explode with flavor when you see the ones they’ve combo’d.

Two Hundred and Fifty Dollar Coasters

Two Hundred and Fifty Dollar Coasters

For your beer. For to be putting your beers onto. That’s what these are. What makes buying a pair of these Black Badger Advanced Composites coasters cost $250 is their limited nature (35 of them, total,) and their composition. They’re made of solid titanium and aetospace-grade carbon fiber, and each of them has their own individual limited edition number laser etched into their side. That’s $250 for a PAIR of these coasters. That’s pretty swanky.
