MAIN PURPOSE: Stand a tablet behind a row of books

A bookend with a second job: the books stand on the base plate against the upright, and behind it a trough holds a tablet or e-reader leaning on the upright’s back face. The weight of the books keeps the tablet stand steady, so a recipe, a video call or sheet music stands up at the end of the row.

Station Fence

MAIN PURPOSE: Pierce sewing stations for bookbinding

Lay the strip in the fold of an open signature with the back lip hooked over the head of the pages, then push an awl through the seven guide holes. Every signature in the book gets its sewing stations in exactly the same place, so the spine comes out straight. Stations are 40 mm apart.

Deckle Rule

MAIN PURPOSE: Tear paper with a handmade deckle edge

Hold the rule down on a sheet and tear the paper up against its rippled edge: you get the soft, irregular deckle of handmade paper on invitations, place cards, menus and journal pages, with no deckle box and no wet tearing. The other edge is a plain straight edge for normal tears.

Dayface

MAIN PURPOSE: Plan the day hour by hour with tokens

A clock face you plan with: each of the twelve wedges is one hour of the working day, and you drop a paper clip, coloured token or folded note into the hours you have promised to something. One look shows how full the day is, and emptying a wedge feels better than ticking a list. Waiting tokens sit in the hub.

Puck Easel

MAIN PURPOSE: Turn a flat wireless charger into a stand

Drop a round wireless charging pad into the slot at the back and its face lines up with the 56 mm window: lean your phone against the front and it charges standing up, where you can still read the screen, instead of lying flat. The cable leaves through the back and the front lip stops the phone sliding.

Glue Bridge

MAIN PURPOSE: Keep PVA glue and wipe the brush

A PVA pot for bookbinding and paper crafts: the bar across the top is for wiping excess glue off the brush, so it goes on thin and even, and the snug lid keeps the glue workable between sessions. Fill to just below the bar.

Swatch Row

MAIN PURPOSE: Display ink samples with their swatches

Stand seven ink sample vials in the row of holes and slip a written swatch card into the tall slot behind each one: the actual colour on paper sits next to its bottle, so choosing tomorrow’s ink no longer means opening every vial. The holes take 2 ml and 5 ml vials.

Stepover

MAIN PURPOSE: Cover a cable crossing the floor

A floor cable cover: lay it over a lead that has to cross a hallway or the gap from desk to wall, and the 12 x 9 mm channel underneath hides it while the shallow ramps stop feet, chair wheels and vacuum heads catching. Print as many 200 mm lengths as the run needs and butt them end to end.

Pivot Drawer

MAIN PURPOSE: Add a swing-out drawer under any desk

A pencil tray that screws under the desk top through its corner post and swings out on that single screw: push it back and it disappears under the edge, pull the finger notch and pens, cables and the stapler swing out to you. The post is 2 mm taller than the walls so the rim never rubs the desk.

Loop Lock

MAIN PURPOSE: Shorten a cable that is too long

Shorten a charger or headphone cable that is too long without coiling it: fold a loop of the excess and press both strands into the two side slots, which run in opposite directions so the cable takes an S-turn and holds. No unplugging, no ties, and sliding it along sets the length.
