Coca Cola touch light

I took some cheap touch lamps(i think it was 3 for $3) took off the cheap plastic top and replaced it with a nice brushed aluminum one leftover from my booze lamps project, and fixed a coca cola bottle over the top 

frisbee lights

An early prototype

This one is a simple on off dual led light that attaches magnetically

This light uses centrifugal force and mercury switches to light up the frisbee only when it is spinning

Microscope camera adapter

 

I love looking at things under my microscope but I wanted to be able to share what I see. I found out that I could take pictures with my cameraphone. It was very difficult to hold it by hand so I made an adapter to hold it on my microscope.

Clamping flexible camera mount

 

I make a lot of timelapses and i needed something to aim or point my camera, so I used a quickclamp and a gorillapod leg, and made a custom mount for my camera to slide into

Handy portable storage for welding rods

Just glue a pvc tube to a quick clamp and cap the bottom and your welding rods can be right where you need them when you need them

Wrong!

These books, too, are hollow

Camera Bellows

Not knowing how cheap it was to buy camera bellows, I made my own using an old film developer.

 

And here are some pictures i took with it
