Craft & Design

Windell of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories shows you how to make a rad LED tie, similar to the ones sported by the guys in Kraftwerk, the 70s electronic music masters from Germany.

The Kraftwerk tie has nine red LEDs in a vertical row, and one lights up after the one above it in a simple descending pattern. And what does it say to the world? One thing only, loud and clear: “We are the robots.” Now, if you’re anything like us, the most important question going through your head at this point is something along the lines of “why am I not wearing a tie like that right now?”
