Inspired by a Crunchgear.com article on etching a design on a Moleskine notebook Balance Product Development pressed their mark into a Moleskine journal cover as a gift for the Holidays. With time fleeting, they created their own die to press two journals at a time in a shop vise and adhered seasonal belly bands to get them ready for delivery.
Hopefully the beloved journal will capture inspired ideas.

Shredder puzzle...
Test your CSI skills with the advanced SHREDDERpuzzle. We can take any photo and send it through our magic puzzle making machine to create the most advanced puzzle out there. Available puzzles can be had for $14.99 shipped and comes in a transparent carry case with a sticker showing its previous state. If 'Bones' can put a shattered skull back together in less than an hour you better be able to do this...
Check back for available puzzles or send us one of your photos for a custom creation.
Created by Dream Construct and Balance Product Development.

Little instruments for little men...
This tenor ukulele is made almost entirely of donated resawn reclaimed mahogany deck material and upon completion is destined to be played by a good friend's 4 year old son back in Boston. Another similar ukulele is also in process to be gifted to Mike's 4 year old nephew. Hopefully these instruments will inspire the little men to create. To view progress visit his thread on Ukulele Cosmos Forum.

Trash Can Music
A collection of instruments created by Mike Tracz. From left to right, a cigar box lap-steel guitar with altoids resonator, a lunch box lap-steel guitar with bundt pan resonator, and a cookie tin banjo. Most all the wood is reclaimed with exception to fingerboards and headplates. Oh and they all play too.
