I see carpenters fumble for the nails in their span or gripping a mouthful quite hazardously. The Nail Hammer is an easy solution, where the handle holds a silicon case full of nails and is easily accessible. I guess this means one less nail swallowed, one finger less hurt and a nail hammered right on its head!

Go back into the history of measurements and we know that in the ancient times, body parts used to be the standard for measurements; hence a foot. The need for uniformity paved way for the metric and imperial systems that are now commonly used. However our basic instincts still make us want to use a span, two finger spaces or an arms length; old habits die hard I guess! To resolve this and bridge the gap between digital accuracy and human approximations is the Smart Finger. It is a device that caps your thumb and forefinger (or any 2 fingers) and uses the signals relayed between the two finger points to calculate the measurement.

• The Smart Finger is made from silicon to offer a comfortable fit to any finger size.
• It can help measure length, breadth, and volume in a very intuitive way through simple button operations.
• The distance (measurement) is calculated on the basis of the time taken by the signal to beam from one finger tip to the other and back.
• The measured distance is displayed through LED.
• The device sports 2 buttons that help display the measurements in different units, record and store the measurement, calculate volume and area plus view the information in text format (details on how to operate are explained in the images).

The following post contains quite the security safe. It’s called “The Chronos” and it’s the most advanced safe yet produced by Brown Safe Manufacturing. Each Chronos features biometric finger print recognition, gps anti-theft systems, multi-sensor alarm with home automation incorporation, and automatic watch winders. And if these lovely items weren’t enough to strike your fancy, the Chronos is the only safe in the entire world to be constructed of military-grade ballistic armor.

These safes are safe. That’s for sure. That ballistic armor isn’t going to be cracked any time soon. I’m told this blasts this safe far above any previous protection level rating system. And what’s the most amazing feature of the Chronos, if you ask me? The fact that it’s made to protect your collection of watches!

That’s right, the Chronos is made specifically for watches, and if you’re feeling fancy, the rest of your jewelry. Below you’re going to see several configurations of the Chronos along with a few close-ups. These interiors are just as or even more luxurious than their containment outers. They consist mainly of drawers and other lovely methods for containment, including the most amazing watch-safe-related feature I’ve ever seen.

Yes, yes, it is the Automatic Watch Winder Carousel. The first of its kind, this carousel groups the winders circularly to maximize the amount of space available, and with a motorized stack, makes each watch available in a super fabulous and excellent fashion.

Below you’ll see several iterations and personalizations in the Chronos series, including the ever-wild Lamborghini style for hiding all your stacks of solid-platinum diamond-encrusted car-inspired watches in.

Safety Cutter is a simple stationery project that looks at adding functionality to the ruler and taking care of your fingers at the same time. The cutter is integrated into the ruler for a reasonto locate it easily in your stationery stash, plus the rigid support will help you cut the sheet (or whatever it is that you were cutting) with confidence. Not a really dynamic project, but what I really found interesting was the way the blade gets a protective sheath. Look at 5th image to know what I am talking about.
