Ladder Box (kit)

alecperkins — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:03:44 GMT

The Ladder Box is a modular shelving system kit made from bamboo and acrylic. The shelves can be placed along a variety of mounting slots for different configurations. Designed for electronics (such as a cable modem, wireless router, media server), the shelves have cable runs and vertical dividers to keep the cables and electronics organized. Fully assembled, the Ladder Box is 28" high, 16" wide, and 13" deep. The bamboo is 6.7mm-thick Amber. Any color acrylic that has a 5.6mm thickness option can be used. Please specify a color when ordering. For available colors, see http://j.mp/PonokoUSAcrylics For now, the only inserts available are basic shelves and vertical dividers. However, the flexible mounting system means different inserts can be made, including drawers or even purpose built shelves for specific applications. (Think a caddy for a Mac Mini media server, an ethernet cable coiling panel, or a shelf with a secret compartment!) If you have a specific insert in mind, a custom design can be a made. Assembly required: ordinary wood glue or white glue necessary for some components. (Electronics not included.)

Mail Snail [kit]

alecperkins — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:35:44 GMT

The Mail Snail is a small desktop mail organizer made of bamboo, available as a direct kit with some simple assembly required. Suitable for standard-sized envelopes, there are two slots for sorting mail. For customizing the material, the plans are available for purchase: http://www.ponoko.com/design-your-own/products/mailsnail-plans--9373 Assembly: 1. Pop out the three uprights and the base from the cut sheet. 2. Peel off the protective paper from both sides of the pieces. 3. Simply insert the square tabs of the three uprights into the base, orienting the pieces so the silhouette forms a spiral from the side. Depending on the tolerances of the material, glue may not be necessary, but is strongly recommended. Apply small amounts of ordinary white glue or wood glue to the sides of the tabs before inserting the tabs into the base. Let the glue set overnight for maximum strength. The final product is roughly 7 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 3 inches tall. Adhesive cork or felt circles from a local hardware store are helpful for anti-skid.
