nope, sorry it was not interesting in the least. Been making stuff from metacafe….
philliptorronesays:
@Drillbit97 – what interesting “stuff” are you making from metacafe?
JPMartineausays:
Well, I found it interesting. Perhaps the only thing that bothered me with this project is the “consumer whore” aspect of it, needing to buy a bunch of walkmans, which at 2$ each, must be made out of ground up children.

Hey JPMartineau,
We found used walkmans for 2 bucks… were probably considerably more in the 80s. Of course the ultimate would be to make this out of those yellow sony sports walkmans… I love the design on those!

This was a great project, and I hope to find time for it soon. Y’know what I’d like to see? A project that uses up a dozen CRT monitors. They are piling up all over the place. Never mind two bucks a pop, people will pay you to take them.
JPMartineausays:
Oh yeah, the yellow sports Walkmans were sweet.
I guess it’s all good if it’s ’80s surplus that would have ended up in a landfill if not used!
Oh Bre, BTW, I made the first weekend project. The workbench. It’s a simple build, and it’s rock solid. Love it.
