Starting May 23rd, I will be working every Thursday this summer in the Mad Museum Open Studios.

I will be making lamps and other turned objects from a lathe that looks down on Columbus Circle. Going to be a great summer.

I just saw this online and it feels pretty amazing.

I’m incredibly excited, Mobile Homes has been selected for inclusion in MoMA Design Store’s Destination: NYC Collection.

MoMA Design Store launches the eleventh event in the Destination: Design series, Destination: NYC – Made in the USA. The collection features approximately 200 lifestyle products by New York designers including home accessories, furniture, paper goods and jewelry. All products are designed in one of the five boroughs of New York City and manufactured in the United States. Muted colors, graffiti art and pop culture iconography are a few elements of New York’s culture that will be celebrated in the product collection.

I have two projects in New York’s Next Top Makers.

The Turntable Lamp and the Secret Passageway Switch are in the running and the voting has begun. If you like them, and you have the time, go on over and vote.

Thanks.

Instructables recently published a book called How to Do Absolutely Everything. An Instructable I posted a few years ago, Gift Box from a Cereal Box, was uncluded. Page 290.

It’s very cool to have something published.

Twenty Mobile Homes shipped off in their brand new packaging.

Michale Colombo from Make Magazine posted a video demo of me making a mallet for Workshop Wednesdays.

I apologize for the beard, I’m in a contest.

Thanks to Mark Kleback for the video assist.

Another case build for the video artist Gabriel Barcia-Colombo. This time for his piece A Point Just Passed.

In Gabe’s words: “A time card punch clock with a video person projected into a dome on top. As the viewer punches the time cards, the person gets older based on time punch increments. At the last punch the dome goes dark and is not to be reset until the next day. Viewers virtually erase the youth of the person through the passage of time. With each punch the memory of one’s childhood is further erased from the dome. It is possible that some viewers may never experience the full length of the piece.”
