The story
Not much to say about this little guy, I just felt he deserved a page of his own.
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 brake parts, garlic press, vacuum attachment, paint sprayer, coffee maker, tubing, glass thingy.
