Here is an ingenious way of shedding some “light” in homes. The Touching lamp only emits light when they touch, a unique lamp that needs some physical connection to illuminate your world. The Touching Lamp comes from Shay Carmon and Ben Klinger which gets power from 12 volts, making them safe to touch even by kids.

All of the lamps parts are exposed. Electric wires are replaced by aluminum strips embedded in the oak beams, all aluminum joints work as conductors, and the lightshade, also made of aluminum, works as both a switch and a reflector to direct light.

Perhaps by gauging how much you love your dog can be seen on where you make them sleep. Sure there will always be the doghouse or perhaps the floor, but there are people who want to give their dogs the best comfort as well even if it means spending for them. Such is the reason why dog lovers may want to consider giving their pets a memory foam mattress for longer and better lives.

For sure, if you have not experienced the quality of memory foam beds, you have read from them. Memory foam offers a very relaxing experience and chances are you may want one for yourself. So if you do, why not extend it a bit and give your dog a break?

For a younger dog the less strain on their joints over time the healthier your dog will be as they age. Yes, your younger dog may not have any health issues right now, so a memory foam bed may simply be an extra comfortable, cozy, relaxing, restful bed that he/she will appreciate and thank you for. Just a tip, make sure your younger dog is past the chewing stage since memory foam is a more expensive foam –you don’t want your memory foam dog bed destroyed by chewing.

As an older dog, they will appreciate the orthopedic benefits a memory foam dog bed will provide. Memory foam is the only material known to man that completely eliminates painful pressure points – making it ideal for dogs with arthritis, hip dysplasia, joint issues, or simply sore muscles.

This is a cool computer desk-bed. It is the 2 in 1 combo of bed and desk.

For city dwellers tight on space and students in dorms, the Computer Bed combines a computer desk with a bed. A stylish wooden desk by that folds down to reveal a hidden twin sized bed.

Although the bed is useful and practical, it doesn’t look very sturdy. Even with the new “metal bed frame” and “wooden slate foundation”, a well-fed fellow would probably be too much for the joints and come collapsing down all his equipment.

Thinking about custom made Bunk Beds? You can get the Bunk BED kit OR make your own from scratch but here’s a great DIY on Joinery Basics.

The best way to hold together a high-end woodworking projects, whether you’re building a timber-frame home, putting together a trestle table or making a step stool, is with a bit of glue and hand cut joints.

It is easier to use mechanical fasteners, like nails and screws, but to add that look of first-class work, with smooth, metal free visible areas, nothing will do the job like a direct joint between parts, bonded with glue. Of course, the type of joint you need depends on a variety of factors, like the nature of the materials, the function of the joint, strength and appearance, available equipment, and your own level of skill. Joinery may be intimidating to the beginner, but, like any other building skill, all it takes is a bit of practice.

Check out this funky bed you can make yourself which is also very easy for transport.

I hate sleeping on the ground. At least, I sure do when my air mattress leaks. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what ended up happening to me when I went to EWP IV… My air mattress leaked and by morning I was sleeping on the ground!

Upon returning home, terribly cranky after a night of lumps and pebbles under my rump, it occurred to me that I needed to do something to prevent such a fate in the future — particularly if I wanted to survive my first Pennsic Experience (Pennsic XXXI) with all my joints basically in tact. (I figure I have more chance of that than most; I’m not a fighter!) So, I trundled myself off in my car and combed through all sorts of stores in search of a new air mattress and a suitable camp cot to place it on.
