I have an old vintage tube radio and have thought about putting modern electronics in it, too. This one has some cool features, like it actually plays the MP3 and modern AM and FM tuners through the original AM tube radio, using the last two channels 340 and 307 KHz, so you get that crap... er warm old-timey sound out of it. The unit is operated by an IR remote control.
And this isn't just any old tube radio, either. This is a 1953 Swiss Biennophone HF radio that used to receive its signals over the phone lines. Holy proto-Internets, Batman!

I actually had to send some snail-mail recently and remembered the clever Google map envelope trick from Beste Miray Dogan that made the rounds awhile back. Turns out, a friendly bloke named Stephen has created a handy generator website that lets you input your return address and then automagically creates a printable cut-and-fold pattern.

Craig Bush saw our recent post about Ryan Palser's Fallout 3 replica weapons and thought we might be interested in this photoset of his home-poured aluminum Call of Duty ray gun replica. He was right. As much as the prop itself, I really dig his video of the pour, embedded above. If you're interested in sandcasting aluminum at home, there's a lot to learn, in the 120-odd seconds of this video, about how to do it right.

Here's a great starting project for the rugged, outdoorsy, he-man type who is secretly candle-curious. The fact that it's made with shotgun shells makes up for any girliness that might otherwise accrue to candle-crafting. Even if you use strawberry-scented wax. If you're still feeling emasculated, try casting some beer bottle caps into the wax and/or mounting the finished candles on empty cans of SKOAL. From Instructables user Sunbanks.
