Wallet made from a computer keyboard. In all likelihood there is a keyboard within a few feet of you. Inside that keyboard there probably is a circuit sheet that makes for a surprisingly durable and thin material for making a wallet. Any mention of this project must provide a link to www.zieak.com with credit to Ryan McFarland. Why? In taking apart electronics i find uses for most of the parts. Things which can not be reused go into scrap piles for recycling.

But these sheets couldn't be easily reused and probably can not be recycled. I tried using overhead transparency sheets that had been printed on for a customized clear wallet pattern but the sheets mark when folded or creased. You'll need:A desktop computer keyboard (for the circuit sheet and a metal piece as a straight edge)A screwdriver to open the keyboardA ruler or tape measureA cutting board or cutting matA razor knifeSharp scissorsA roll of clear packing tape The fine folks at HowCast have made a video from my Instructable... Michaels Photography School Home. Circuit Bending Synth DIY. David M. just sent us useful information on how to add internal pitch controls for both Kaossilator and the Kaoss Pad, below are his words of wisdom… After reading about the GetLoFi Tutorial for 1799 oscillator circuit mod on the KORG Mini KP/KO and with a few of the LTC Modules on hand I decided to give it a go on a brand new Kaossilator.

The conversion took about 45 minutes to do, but the results just blew me away. A real transformer for this instrument. Looking over the comments at the GETLOFI site, it seems that nobody found a good place for potentiometer placement, all being too big. It took several orders of varied thin potentiometers from the usual suspects like: ebay, digikey, and mouser to locate a pot capable of doing the job. Mouser ended up with the goods (digikey has a 16mm Panasonic pot in their latest catalog, but it is not available.) You will need to fab a piece of thin metal, then bend and solder it to the pot in-order to mount it securely. by David M.
