What do Michelangelo, Picasso, and your fourth-grade nephew taking art for the first time have in common? They've all wasted precious hours cleaning paint brushes...by hand! After talking to some painters in our community, we found one of the most frustrating aspects of painting is the time spent cleaning the gunk off of their paintbrushes after every session. With this in mind, David created the Automatic Paint Brush Cleaner prototype! Now you never have to wash your brushes by hand again. If you're a painter, let us know what you think in the comments!

Would you use this? Tell us what you think in the comments below! Need to satisfy your crippling sugar addition? Look no further - the Taffy Puller turns sugar into delicious tooth-destroying candy from the comfort of your kitchen. During the taffy-making process, taffy needs to be pulled at a temperature between 150-200 degrees. Even with insulated gloves, candy makers can experience discomfort while handling this molten sugar substance. Introducing our first Taffy Puller prototype, designed to save your scalding hands. Now anyone can make candy in their kitchen.
