Today we're sharing with you our "tinker toys", amazingly clever fun gifts made by our tinkerers',
Ed Beals and
William Rudolph.
If you're familiar with the gallery you've likely seen a ray-gun or two or
Ed's kicking around (though not for long as they are happily snapped up by ray-gun enthusiasts).
Ed recently brought in his latest creation,
The Collector.

The Collector travels around collecting bits and scraps he can put into his trusty removable backpack!

From
Mr William Rudolph, or
Rudy, the master of bike parts, we have a few fun new pieces. First up, for the cyclist on your list who has everything... a trophy made of bike parts? A trophy made of bike parts! It even has a handy blank plaque on the front that's perfect for engraving whatever award you feel like bestowing!

But alas, if you're looking for a more practical assembled bike part piece,
Rudy has you covered. How about a
Rotating Shimano Candle Holder for those stormy nights when the power is out?
