DIYer Extensor posted pics of a self-built iCurve replacement over at flickr. Created to support his (or her, the page doesn't say) 15-inch Powerbook, the do-it-yourself-Curve is made from spare legos and a $7 Container Store wire shelf. The shelf is colorfully made, surprisingly attractive and looks sturdy enough to handle the weight of the Powerbook. We at TUAW love to see this kind of initiative and welcome your DIY Mac submissions. Drop us a line at our Tips form.Posts with tag DoItYourself

Making an iPod dock out of a cardboard box and some tape: priceless
Sorry, but I couldn't resist, this is just too classic: Flickr user flickrflick151, stating "When you can't afford the real thing, you improvise" on his photoset, decided to create his own iPod dock from an AirPort Express card box (bonus points) and some tape. The oversized "iPod Dock" label (accessory makers - take note) tops off an altogether clever solution to a dockless iPod. Check out the Flickr set for more pics if you're looking to roll your own.

Make your own MacBook Pro sleeve
Conrad had a nice roundup of available sleeves for the MacBook, but what about you MacBook Pro users? Sure, the sleeve companies say that their PowerBook gear should accommodate your new MacBook Pro, but that doesn't sound like any fun. I say make your own following these instructions.
It may not be pretty, but your MacBook Pro will be safe from falls and thieves (since who would put such a beautiful machine in something like that?).

Widget Watch: Macgyverisms
I have found a use for Dashboard and its name is Macgyverisms. This pointless widget provides you with one of 200 ideas from MacGyver himself to get out of a sticky situation. The next time I am in the woods with only a rosary and a slingshot, I'll know what to do. Will you?
