@myla A plan for the afternoon, perhaps...?

My husband is home today with a leg injury, and he'd been known to dismantle electronics when he was a kid. This may be the perfect thing for todays grey day.

awesome - just need to find something that I no longer need to use!!

Hmmm! Anyone fancy doing that with their SLR? Didn't think so!
February 28th, 2011
I wonder does he reassemble the things...
February 28th, 2011
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing, Emma. (:
I wonder the same thing, too!

way cool. makes me want to go home and destroy something...
February 28th, 2011
That's so cool! Hmmm just trying to think what I've got that I can get away with destroying..... :)

Cool idea!

A thought...IMHO, old computers may not yield the same effect since there aren't really many moving parts in them. Not to say that old mother boards and stuff aren't cool, just saying that I think part of what makes Todd's designs so special is how he re-arranges all the moving parts, like springy things and levers and such.

I think I might have some old watches...

Hmm, looks like fun. :-) May have to look for something to dismantle...

I'm glad he doesn't live in my house! I thought my ex husband was bad enough at taking things apart ;)
