Harris, the product of an unorthodox career path and an overused library card, leads readers into a parallel universe of desk-sized, scrap-material building projects that will personalize office cubicles and incite pure envy in co-workers. The projects combine basic metal and woodworking shop techniques with alternative material sourcing and lateral design paths. From scale model Greco-Roman projectile launchers to mood-enhancing audiovisual effects, each project offers a different set of challenges, fabrication philosophies, social commentary, and bad puns. The personal desktop guillotine ("Active Deskchop") is the author's most popular project. Each project includes step-by-step directions illustrated with color photos and diagrams on every page. An introductory chapter reviews tools, shop techniques, and tips for scavenging materials.
