"First of all he didn't repurpose it. He rebuilt/designed an entirely new version (albeit similar in look to the Ikea one) with more expandable possibilities. "repurposed" conveys the notion that he bought the Ikea product...and then modified it. Which he didn't. Second, his entire Etsy shop is full of similar designed items that all have a consistent look and build quality and also assembly similarly.. Is it overpriced? That's in the eye of the buyer. Clearly there is alot of work and material that goes into one of those things...lots of little pieces to produce. I'll second what @whynow said....this site has devolved quite a bit from the days when it championed design instead of bashed it. There's other arenas for that. "
"so every outlet in your home is 12" off the floor? You have no other countertop height outlets...like say in a kitchen or bathroom? Just like I mentioned before...you are so negative and dismissive. I urge you to go back and read through your old comments and discussions with people. I've been a hands-on industrial and graphic designer for 15 years and I have worked with people EXACTLY like you. "know-it-alls". It's frustrating to say the least."
"Yea I don't see how this is anything new? The material? The layering? Go check out the hundreds of other knife makers on Instagram...this is a pretty standard handle style and the layering has been done countless times before. "
"No need to move the power in the wall, just hardwire in place of an existing outlet. I can see you are unable to be reasoned with....must be very difficult to work with you. I guess those who can't design, delegate tho right?"
"Literally shows the power cord hanging down in the first image. How is it being hidden? Also, you could easily hardwire this into a wall. I've seen you comment on tons of posts here...ALL negative and snarky."
"I am a knife maker/designer and have also come up with an X-acto alternative. My "BUDDY" blade is sort of like a beefed up X-acto that never needs blade replacement. East to sharpen, ergonomic, and tough. http://workerman.storenvy.com/products/22391430-buddy-blade-natural-tan"
