For those of us who are gadget heads, lovers of things mechanical. and all that gee whiz technology you use to thrill your friends and confuse your enemies.

lets see it!

heres a desk that umm turns my gears.

the ultimate gearhead desk.



always fun to see the things we enhance our day to day with.

C'mon Nigel... This could be the genesis for the OM mkII.
I'm sure with all those gears you could add an oscillating arm underneath the desk to which a toy could be fixed.
Might make the owner keen to spend more time in the office!

ooooh ranger....

This is the ride you're looking for: Electric XP-34 Landspeeder replica

Daniel Deutsch is a former Lucasfilm employee, and we want what's in his garage. Deutsch, in addition to building R2-D2s, has a full-scale functional replica of Luke Skywalker's XP-34 landspeeder. Instead of a repulsorlift, Deutsch's speeder is powered by an electric drive system that gives him a 25 mph top speed "several miles" of range off a single charge. We assume that's enough for him to go out and retrieve Artoo when he wanders away from the homestead. (Deutsch really should slap a restraining bolt on the little guy.) And as for his speeder? Never mind the GEM, that is the ultimate NEV. On the downside, ever since the XP-38 came out, the resale value on these things sucks.
