Datalimba (Hard Disk Drive Kalimba)

An idea struck me like a lightning bolt – a hard disk drive housing could be made into the sound box of a kalimba.



Bingo!! The solid metal housing resonates and amplifies the crystal clear sound. I’ve got a bunch of used hard disk drives. Thank God I didn’t dispose of them.


My friend, meanwhile, came up with a cool name for this musical instrument:  Datalimba !!

RoboCop 2020 Type 2

The heaviest robot I've ever made, weighing about half a kilogram.


Nearly 100 cable ties, large and small,  are used to bind parts together. 



  Looks strong enough, doesn't it?

Shiny Stockings

I’ve been always fascinated by the shapes of bike brake levers, especially those of Shimano STI shifters.


They look pretty sexy to me.
