Ahh, matryoshka dolls. What man hasn’t dreamed of ripping a woman in half only to find another woman inside and so on and so forth? I know I have! These matryoshkas just happen to be Super Mario Bros.-flavored. Custom designed by Flickr user cmsturmhous, these dolls would look awesome in any gaming room if you could somehow convince the maker ...

Ah, yes! Do you remember Lockwasher? He’s the ultimate DIYer, creating robots and sculptures from metal junk. I know, that was awhile ago but he’s back with some really awesome creations this time around. This one is called Beer2-D3 and you can easily make your own with a free afternoon, random parts and a case of Heineken it seems: What ...

Jakob Lodwick, founder of Vimeo and online entrepreneur, has thrown a lot of money at DIYers Bre Pettis and Zack Hoeken. So much, in fact, that they decided to start a robot company called MakerBot Industries. The company’s first product is the Cupcake CNC machine kit. As it implies, it’s a kit that lets you build your very own CNC ...

Mmm, I’m not sure how I feel about this “mod” for the Roomba. While the furry cover for the vacuum is welcome, the strange look this toad has on its face is somewhat like the Mona Lisa’s smile: creepy and mysterious. That’s probably ’cause it’s made with real glass eyes. I get the whole toad thing, but how come I’m ...

The Smapler is quite the instrument. First off, you’ll have to build it using your trusty Arduino since it’s a shield that works in tandem with the microcontroller. It’ll allow you to build some unique and interesting instruments as well. This new snap-on panel really gives it more of an instrument-like feel though, don’t you think? It features 4 knobs, ...

If there’s one thing we go ga-ga over here at Gearfuse, it’s a kickass set of LEGOs. This Watchmen set? No exception. It was created by Jordan Schwartz and the neat thing is, each character is made from original LEGO parts. That’s right. No hand-painted nonsense here, folks. Just good ol’ fashioned tinkering with LEGOs. I’m personally a fan of ...

As a college student, I’d like to think I’m the go-to expert on all things peanut butter and jelly. It’s an inexpensive meal that is not only classic, but also delicious. That’s why you should take your leftover birthday money your ‘rents gave you and purchase these handmade PB&J pillows off Etsy. Created by user Diffractionfiber, each pillow is 16″ ...

Not much to say here except for a resounding “WOW.” This ray gun is a steampunk creation that was found on Flickr user Tinkerbot’s photostream. Seems Tinkerbot is all about designing fake ray guns that have a distinct vintage feel. After the jump, a selection of his best works that really put the “punk” back in the already enigmatic steampunk ...

It’s Friday. Treat yourself a little with this white chocolate keyboard. It looks absolutely delicious and considering how white chocolate is secretly a form of crack cocaine, I’d bet it’s addictive as shit. Don’t want to shell out the money? Here’s a DIY for you: -Pick up keyboard in front of you -Melt M & Ms with Bic lighter over ...

Congratulations asshole. You can solve a Rubik’s Cube in negative .802934 seconds. Now go choke or something. And by “or something” we of course mean you should move onto something a little more challenging so we can point and laugh at your frustration. The insanely and overly difficult Petaminx, created by Andrew Cormier, was designed using 975 individual parts and ...
