From my previous comments I don't really see the need to carbon everything...... but I WANT THAT CF LOO

And I do have a carbon fibre coffee coaster, and I now have some more offcuts to make a mouse mat too.

Wrong application for material use makes me, an engineer, shudder in disgust. But that loo is fantastic. Imagine how much faster you could crap on that

I have a mould sat in our lab that we made for a retirement gift. It must have been the most advanced toilet seat in the world! Awesome!

Agree with them all except the CF guitar. Lots of sustain, low weight, got to be good for a stage musician... Looks a bit naf mind.

I can think of a 9th thing that shouldn't be made out of Carbon Fibre... Stirling Moss's lift!

The guitar - no, just..... no. A guitar's body does make a difference to the noise it makes, even on an electric.

The chopsticks... interesting, but no. If bamboo or cheap wood chopsticks are too heavy for you, these won't help you...

The toilet is pretty cool - is that the one on that mostly carbon powerboat James May was on when he raced the Hamster along the coast of the Med'?

Eek...

I remember watching a program on Sky (How it's made?) that showed a carbon-fibre cello being made.

They reckoned that it was a lot more stable in varying temperature and humidity, and a lot less delicate...
