Calling all green makers

Make Magazine is sponsoring a DIY contest. Win your own 3D printer and a chance at a Nissan Leaf, plus fame and fortune and a chance to show off your skills. Details here.

If you're more of a voyeur than a competitor, you can just lurk in the gallery here. There are some great ideas already up, and more coming. I've pulled a couple of teaser photos for you. Good luck!

Carpetbagging

For all the Process 376 team members looking for a little more Ample Sample inspiration, here's some Friday love. It's also worth reviewing the star ratings to see what was well reviewed last year.

I found a benches and a table that are similar to our sketches for a table design, and several lights for Tricia to reference. Everything is made of carpet samples. Entries are due May 8.
