So the trend these days it to build turn-of-the-century industrial-looking designs into cases for electronics equipment, jewelry or whatever. It's know as the "Steampunk" look. I always like that stuff, very Captain Nemo and the Nautilus looking. I also like to browser flea markets and I'm attracted to random junk. I found this old machine for $20 and though it looked cool. Whose doesn't like a glimmer brass parts beneath caked on black grease. Two cans of WD40 later and 2 1/2 month of trial and error, I finally got my "contraption" and the kids call it working. Here's a video of it just for fun. It really looks much prettier in real life.
