Crate Flicks

Flickr has everything and the milk crate photos are expanding on the daily. These three are just the tip of the iceberg, but represent some of the range. The top one is titled “Doggie Crate” by Chewie2008. The 2nd one is simply called “Milk Crate” by Channel_Mixer. Lastly we have “Milk Crates as shelvesat the Jubilee” by Warmest Regards. Go see their work, spread the milkcrate image love.

Crate Table from Merry Design

Merry Design from Madrid, Spain has this very cool bread crate/table project. It’s a expandable system with a simple design to bring some added utility and design sense to the already functional crate. View some of their other projects on their site.

Evolution in Crate Bike Storage

I see bikes everyday with milkcrates attached, and I’m still excited when I see it. This one is next level–some genius in Brooklyn took the bottom of a 2nd milkcrate and made it into a lid for his bike crate. It even has a lock! I love it when a plan comes together.

Crate Hockey Tantrum

Tuukka Rask has only played 5 NHL games, but for the Providence Bruins of the AHL Rask made a name for himself with an all-star post-game tantrum. The finale of this display was throwing a milkcrate onto the ice from the tunnel. I love everything about this story. I wish I could do an interview with this guy.

Skulls & Crates go together like…?

I don’t exactly understand the situation here but the impulse is truly felt deep. Strapping a goat skull on to my milkcrate now seems exactly like what I should do first thing tomorrow morning. –> Crawling through the USA via John Glynn’s Blog
