The story
These helpful little machines are essential for any busy person who faces routine moral dilemmas.

Simply turn the crank and move on.

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.

Parts list

Materials

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

Bicycle dynamos, motors, tube tester meters, film winder, equipment stands and tool parts.
