Each edition is made by sticking the sheet metal pieces to a magnetic plate then inking and printing like a woodblock.” typeset ( Thanks, John! ) Previously: Steampunk typewriter key jewelry — Boing Boing Gadgets - Boing Boing Trove of classic typewriter info - Boing Boing ASCII art from 1934 Boing Boing Boing Boing: Typewriter art Felt replica of a vintage Underwood Noiseless typewriter - Boing Boing

Here’s a great look at Pop Up Lunch: NYC, a work-in-progress from Ali Pulver, a grad student at Pulver. The idea is to create a bunch of portable, temporary eating surfaces that hungry New Yorkers can chow down from after buying street food from a wagon or cart. Those of us who love eating street food, but hate taking lunch back to our desks, have a common problem. Where should we eat? There are a number of indoor pavilions and outdoor seating areas scattered across Midtown, but sometimes I just wish there was a place right next to the carts to just saddle up and tuck in. Well thanks to Pratt Grad Student Ali Pulver, now there is. For her thesis she is developing a couple of tools to make it easier for us to eat on the street. And after testing out the “Lunch Shelf” and the “Hydrantable” last week, I’ve got to say these could represent the greatest advancements in street food technology since the invention of chicken and lamb over rice!

Here’s a sweet bus-shelter made out of a bus — the irony is that the bus that stops here is made out of a bus-shelter. Dumping auto waste or old auto parts is one of the major problems for most nations across the world. Resurrecting old school buses, sculptor and designer Christopher Fennell has devised a bus shelter that not only looks unique but also helps in reducing the huge piles of auto waste. Made of selective parts and pieces from three iconic school buses, from the years ‘62, ‘72 and ‘77, and old city line seats, the yellow bus shelter is a unique way to attract people toward recycling and adopting a green lifestyle.

Ape Lad sez, “The bowling alley I once enjoyed as a child (in Riverside CA), is now furniture.” An abandoned bowling alley finds a second life in this beautiful series of furniture by LA-based designer/woodworker William Stranger. Crafted from reclaimed strips of wood salvaged from a local defunct Tava Lanes Bowling alley, the collection springs to life in a variety of forms including a series of wall hangings and a low coffee table. Recycled Bowling Lane Furniture is Right up Our Alley ( Thanks, Ape Lad ! )
