Book Review: Eccentric Cubicle
Tags :Eccentric Cublicle book review
I am not quite where to begin with this one. It is labeled as Office Accessories from a Parallel Universe. It is exactly that. Eccentric Cubicle brings it all to a parallel universe for sure!
This is way beyond what any of us would ever build for our desk. My favorite was the Projectile-2-Peer Intercubicle Messaging device. Which in reality was a well defined, through tool tap and die skills, missile launcher for your desk. The idea was to attach your message or put inside a rocket and shoot it to your neighbor. Much like the good old days. But the skills it took to build it were out of this world too.
Let me say the author, Kaden Harris, was fun to read though. His commentary for each project made the text portion enjoyable. Now there is not a lot of text overall in the grand scheme of 370 pages. A lot of the book is images and steps required to do each project.
In all there is 11 chapters starting with an introduction and then right into projects.
- Introduction
- Active Deskchop - a nice guillotine for cutting anything from pens to carrots at your desk
- Ballistamail - the missile launcher
- Maple Mike - a desktop golf ball driver
- DeskBeam Bass - need to play a bass guitar right on your desk?
- The Gynsin Device - a light tube to stimulate the mind
iBlow - a bubble machine for your desk. The simplest to make it seemed - Liquid Len Meets Discohead - a mirrored head reflecting light
- The Haze-o-Matic 3000 Fog Machine - now who doesn't need fog at their desk?
- Hammerhead Live - a mechanical drum machine
- Homebrew Wood Finishes
So there you go. If you have woodworking and

I received a comment from Kaden who was quite correct, it is tap and die, not tool and die as I originally placed in the writing.
