The story
This essential tool helps distinguish the “good” guys from the “bad” guys on the battlefield of life.

Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.

Materials

Everything in this piece had a previous life. Nemo’s own inventory, in his words.

Tool handle, brace drill, juicer arm, tube tester meter, bicycle light dynamo, aluminum.
