The most exquisite lamps have surfaced on the MAKE magazine blog of all places.
I suppose these lamps technically qualify as homemade tech gadgetry because artist Frank Buchwald handcrafted them himself.
I think his artistic meld of the natural and tech elevate these usable art pieces to more than look-what-I-made-in-my-garage status.
They just seem way too nice to appear in the same blog that showcased the hand-sewn nerd pillows and homemade Hobbit house.
