Analog Tape Glove

Collin’s Lab: Kit-making
When recently faced with the dauntingly tedious task of assembling my first-ever batch of electronics kits, I was lucky enough to have the ever-helpful eye of seasoned kit-maker Becky Stern close by. While observing my one-man assembly ‘process’, Becky advised a more efficient, modular assembly line technique using intermediary storage vessels better known as “plastic cups”. Streamlining the process left me with plenty of time to cook up some some unusually fancy title/motion graphics for the above-seen video.

How-To: Make your own graphite resistors from pencil lead
Some audiophiles apparently think graphite resistors “sound better” than metal oxide or wound wire resistors. Whether that’s science or just myth, I don’t claim to know, but making one’s own resistors is pretty cool either way. Troels Gravesen’s tutorial shows you how. [via Hack a Day]
