Boutique lamp makers Typewriter Boneyard recently released the Book Lamp, a hardcover book with a built-in switch and bulb. But here’s the thing: it costs $140. I have a feeling you wonderful fixers can put together a book lamp that looks just as good for a fraction of the price. Think you got what it takes?
And seeing how this it There, I Fixed It, points will also be given to most kludged-together design. LET’S DO THIS
From the submitter:
So I get up today and the kids are up before me watching TV. That’s fine, it Sunday, got to sleep in, figured I go check my email and puts around online for a few. Later I go into the living room, to turn the TV so I can start watching Game highlights before the Super Bowl, but can not find the remote. I mean I searched everywhere. The usual places… In the couch cushions, under the couch, behind the couch and behind the TV…. nowhere to be found.

Instructables user cbaabc73 came up with a cheap and easy way to turn off outlets when you aren’t using them. He built it after noticing his wife kept leaving the curling iron plugged in, which can be extremely dangerous. This DIY project takes only basic tools without the use of soldering.
And after 40 minutes your home doubles as a coffin.

Instructables user hanlin_y did the math and realized that alkaline batteries are one of the most expensive forms of power that consumers can use. So he/she/it came up with a solution to power your parts even if they don’t come with an AC adapter. With a wall plug, wires, and bamboo strips you can run your electronics off the grid; saving money and the environment at the same time.
