The Otic Oasis
Kitchen Shelves
The concept has been well thought out, right down to the smallest detail - from the knobs on the gas cooker to the pull-out spray on the faucet. Designed and manufactured by Vipp, the kitchen has a unique cohesion, combining quality, functionality and design. Like the classic Vipp bin and other Vipp products, the new kitchen expresses a complete concept. The Vipp kitchen is made from stainless steel and consists of three main components: Wall Module, Tall Module and a Kitchen Island. The modules are available in various sizes and can be assembled according to individual wishes and requirements. “Just as with the Vipp bin, we are bringing industrial style into your home in the shape of an excellent, high quality product, which can easily withstand constant use,” says Morten Bo Jensen, Head of Design at Vipp. The kitchen is for sale in the Vipp flagship store with worldwide delivery.
Getting screws to hold in end grain
Because wood is relatively weak perpendicular to its grain, screws don't hold that well when screwed into the end grain. This firstly because the thread has a harder time cutting into the grain fro the side, and also because what it does grab shears out more easily, as the shear is cross-grain. Wood screws do, however, hold extremely well in cross grain. So the trick to making screws really hold in the end of a piece of wood is to give them a bit of cross-grained wood to bite into. The easiest way to do this is to put a hardwood plug into the wood, 5/8" or 3/4" in diameter. The illustration at left shows how far the screw would penetrate, if it was actually in the wood. This approach is much cheaper, and probably stronger, than using some specialized fastener using a machine screw and some sort of specialized nut to insert in a hole. I use this apporach for screwing bed rail clips into the ends of bed rails for my bed frame and my daybed, where good hold is very important.
Flexible Stream • Digital Wood Joints
Wood Joints are fascinating! They embellish old furniture and wood constructions of ancient Japanese temples alike. Everytime we come across them, we are filled with admiration: Admiration for the skill of the master craftsman, as their creator, but also admiration for the balance between function and beauty, which turns the furniture or temple into a work of art. With the onset of industrialisation, the traditional wood joints have been banned more and more to the background. As computer-controlled wood processing machines move into the cabinet-makers' workshops, the way two pieces of wood are joined together in a construction needs to be reconsidered. The result of this research are 50 digital wood joints, divided into frame joints, board joints and carcass joints. We are looking forward for the submission of your modifications and pictures of implementation. Arto from Finland has done some Davetone Mixcubes:

The Capsule Lamp
The Capsule Lamp has captured our imagination. The intriguingly interactive lighting fixture gleans its idea from the plastic toy capsules of vending machines. Initially, the Capsule was designed by Hong Kong-based Design Systems Ltd for the Actif children’s wear brand, but it has now taken on a life of its own giving tinkerers and creatives another reason to customize and make it their own. The main structure of the ceiling pendant is made of stained oak, and either without the capsules, or with just the empty capsules, it looks rather coolly Scandinavian. While the fixture comes with a set number of toys, we can envision hiding our own little personal items in the capsules. We think we’ll just keep the Capsules for ourselves and never let kids near it. - Tuija Seipell
Metal fabrication
Metal fabrication is the building of metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling processes: Fabrication comprises or overlaps with various metalworking specialties: Fabrication shops and machine shops have overlapping capabilities, but fabrication shops generally concentrate on metal preparation and assembly as described above. By comparison, machine shops also cut metal, but they are more concerned with the machining of parts on machine tools. [edit] Metal fabrication is a value added process that involves the construction of machines and structures from various raw materials. Fabrication shops are employed by contractors, OEMs and VARs. Raw materials[edit] Standard raw materials used by metal fabricators are; Cutting and burning[edit] The raw material has to be cut to size. Special band saws designed for cutting metal have hardened blades and a feed mechanism for even cutting. Burn tables are CNC cutting torches, usually natural gas powered.
