Shain offers a complete storage system for woodworkers

I can see the irony in a post about a pre-made wooden cabinet marketed to woodworkers, but I imagine that many woodworkers are hobbyists who would rather spend their shop time on fun projects instead of making necessities for their workshop.  For those people, Shain offers a complete storage system for woodworking tools in an 84″ X 60″ X 22″ deep cabinet.

The cabinet is made of solid maple framing using dowel construction and with birch plywood panels.  The wood is finished with sealer and multiple lacquer applications.  The upper and lower doors are birch-veneered panels mounted with a continuous hinge.  The top section has various tool holders, designed for specific tools, mounted on the back and sides of the cabinet and on  the inside of the doors.  Adjustable shelves in the bottom section hold bulkier tools; weight capacity per shelf is 40 pounds.  The cabinet is lockable to protect your tools.

The Shain Complete Storage System is $2099.99 (which is 50% off MSRP).  If desired, you can add a complete set of woodworking tools, bringing the complete cost to $9799.99.  You can see a complete list of the optional tool set and place orders for the Shain cabinet and/or tools at Wayfair.

The Revesun HDMI 2×1 Multi-Viewer with PIP is an affordable seamless switching solution


Over the past few years, social media and other online capabilities have become the new way of communicating and for getting content out to the world instantaneously. In the photography/videography industry, it has allowed us to stream live views of what were once all pre-recorded events. A few years ago, I introduced this capability to my Church with the ability to stream the sermons live on YouTube and Facebook. When we started, we were using 2 video cameras, and we are now up to 6 video cameras. In an effort to keep cost down, we were using a cheap manual HDMI switcher to switch between the output from our main Blackmagic Design Switcher and a laptop, to the input of our streaming box. We use the laptop for introducing “unplanned content” or other “spur of the moment” content. The cheaper HDMI switcher worked well for switching, but there was always a distinct “blackout’ period of a few seconds before the next source showed live. Of course, the issue here was that we needed seamless switching and eventually invested in a smaller but still relatively expensive Roland switcher to do the trick. Although we have a solution, I was still on a mission to find a simple seamless HDMI switcher that did not cost an “arm and a leg”.

I just came across the Revesun HDMI 2×1 Multi-Viewer with PIP. The manufacturer claims that this switcher is capable of seamless switching while avoiding any residual artifacts. It is compliant with HDMI 1.3a and HDCP 1.2. It supports resolutions up to 1080P HD, with 2 HDMI inputs and 1output. It also supports the LPCM, AC3, and DTS digital audio formats.

If you would like to try out the Revesun HDMI 2×1 Multi-Viewer with PIP seamless switcher, you can purchase one on Amazon for $76.99.

Never have to dig around inside a dark bag again

It doesn’t matter what kind of bag you carry – backpack, messenger, handbag – finding stuff in the bottom of the bag is difficult.  Many bags are lined with dark fabrics, which makes it even harder to find what you’re looking for in the dark bag interior.  SOI makes a smart bag light that means you’ll never blindly dig around inside your bag again.  Best of all, the light senses when your hand enters the bag and turns on automatically – so you won’t have to hunt for the light itself.  There are two versions of the SOI Handbag Light.  One is just the smart light, and the other has added a powerbank for charging your gear.

The Handbag Light is made with a white polycarbonate shell and is powered by AAA alkaline batteries.  It has special proximity sensors that can tell when your hand is close and will light up in response for approximately 8 seconds.  High-quality LEDs and optimised control circuit programming mean enhanced battery life and better lighting power.  And even though the name includes “Handbag”, you shouldn’t let that scare you off.  All bags are dark inside and could benefit from a bit of light.  The Handbag Light is  $29.95.

The SOI Smart Handbag Light + Charger has all the features of the Handbag Light, but it replaces the AAA batteries with an integrated rechargeable 2000 mAh battery to power the light and to recharge mobile devices.  It’s $34.95.

The SOI Handbag Light and the SOI Smart Light + Charger are both available at The Grommet.

Catit Flower Fountain – a water fountain for your cat

After watering your plants, don’t forget to water your cat with the Catit Flower Fountain! This 3L fountain offers three different flow settings and a triple flow filter which filters the water three times to remove “magnesium and calcium from tap water. These minerals can accumulate in your pet’s lower urinary tract and lead to urinary tract diseases”. The replaceable filter lasts about 30 days. You can also easily install or remove the fountain’s flower. Adding the flower allows your cat to drink and play with the water, just in case you have one of those cats that like to play with water. This awesome cat fountain is available from Amazon for $29.99.

1More goes Quad by adding 1 more to their Triple Driver earphone

I’ve reviewed my share of earphones with dynamic and armature speakers as well as a combination of both technologies, known as hybrids. What’s interesting is that hybrids are becoming more and more popular, especially within the last year or so. The thinking is that hybrid earphones offer the best of both worlds—the warm bass of dynamic matched with the clarity of armature speakers. Some hybrid earphones I’ve reviewed are more successful with this approach than others. 1more has been working in this audio marriage business for a few years and has released a new 4-Driver model—the 1More Quad Driver earphones.

The Quad Driver earphones are an extension of 1More’s current Triple Driver earphones that they’ve become known for (not to mention their Triple driver over-ear headphones!). Having four drivers is the equivalent of having four speakers in each ear dedicated to highs, mids, and deep bass. 

Each earphone’s THX certified sound chamber contains a carbon dynamic driver plus 3 balanced armatures and has tungsten textured accents that are designed for premium comfort and sonic spaciousness while also helping to eliminate ear fatigue.

45° oblique angled ear fittings should match anyone’s ear canals for a secure fit, noise isolation, and enhanced sound stage. The Quad Driver earphones are tuned by Grammy winning sound engineer Luca Bignardi.

For controls, a built-in chip automatically identifies which smartphone, tablet, or computer’s operating system is being used making it easier to make phone calls, control volume, and adjust tracks. A MEMS microphone is used to deliver exceptional talk quality.

The 1More Quad Driver earphones sell for $199.99 US and come with a gift box, leather traveling case, 9 ear tip sizes, ¼” and airline adaptors and a matching shirt clip. Visit 1More for more information.
