Just because I’m nice, this week I’m going to help you think of Father’s Day gift ideas.
First up, bike chain business card holder. It’s, duh, sold by Uncommon Goods. Some graphic designer for them stuck her card on it, see?
The junk artist in this case is Graham Bergh from Oregon. He used reclaimed bike chains to create this manly, earth-friendly little masterpiece that sells for $20.
Graham also makes other items from bike parts: frames, clocks, bowls and bottle openers.
