rybitski Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 I make nick-nacks from recycled electronics. All of the proto types were gifts for my girl friend... She loved them, so I decided to make a web site and try to sell some of them...Here are a few examples of what I make:Ear rings:Pendants:Keychains:Check out my website if you are interested please!http://rybitski.googlepages.com/orderthingsimake Quote

rybitski Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Posted June 28, 2006 Just made this tonight:Hoope you like it. :) Quote
rybitski Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Posted June 28, 2006 Some of those free samples from Maxim. 8) Quote
ante Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 OH NO, you shouldn’t use good parts for this. I just praised your way of reusing things and now you have exposed yourself! ;D Quote
rybitski Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Posted June 28, 2006 They went me the wrong sample so it was just going to ly around in my parts case for years... Technically I saved it from being wasted. :-\ Quote
rybitski Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 Maybe this will make up for it:Spent last right de soldering components from a monitor I found in a dumpster.What is left of the poor monitor:(still some work to do) :-\ Quote
logan_dslasher Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 rybitski, you're really into this, huh?!maybe, you can even do some art work.. sculptures perhaps, like a big LEGO statue.. or maybe simple house decorations.. ;Dsee you at Ripley's!! ;) Quote
rybitski Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 Ante's picture: has inspired me, but I'm not sure what I want to make mine do... ???any suggestions? Quote
ante Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Hi Chris,May I suggest you build a clock radio for your bedside table! Quote
rybitski Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 Now that would be pretty nifty. ;DKnow any medium compexity clock radio designs? (I'm still a newbie when it comes to IC's... :-[) Quote
ante Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Sorry, can’t help you there. I have no schematic for such a device. Quote
rybitski Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 Maybe I could just take an old clock radio and de-solder the components and then carefully re-assemble them suspended in the air.I have no room for such a device on my bedside table, take a look:(My room is a bit cleaner now than it was then...) :-\ Quote
ante Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Holy cow! :oIf you throw away all those 386’s you’ll get plenty of room! :D Quote
rybitski Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 I plann on moving them downstairs into my workshop (which is a complete disaster right now) after I finish building some shelves.I asked for a cople old hdd's and my friend brought me 6 old premio's that he bought at an auction (20 for $5). Kind of surprised me, when I went out to my car and he was sitting there waiting with 6 big paper weights... :D Quote
ante Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Pictures pictures…. from the workshop! ;D Quote
rybitski Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 When I say disaster, I mean disaster!!!!I got into a habit of going down there and working and disasemling things, then not cleaning them up after I was finished... I am in the process of cleaning, pictures when it is more presentable. Quote
rybitski Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 To satisfy your craving for pictures, have a look at some pictures of the flood from a couple days ago: http://wishi-waspecial.livejournal.com/104152.html#cutid1 Quote
rybitski Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Posted July 1, 2006 Well I spent half the day/night cleaning and building a mini work bench and the other half making a pendant.You asked for picuters of my workshop Ante, and here they are (the 2 walls that are clean...) The back wall is still very messy, no pistures of that yet, but it is comming.Our basement used to be one large unfinished room untill I took part of it and build 2 rooms, one side for storage the other side for my workshop. That was a few years ago back when I was 14, just starting high school. Anyway, here is that pendant I was talking about: Quote
ante Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 It doesn’t look too bad I think! At least not where you have pointed the camera! ;) Quote
pyroboy Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 do you need this thing left on the PCB from the old monitor you found? the thing that is wrapped in a grey thing!can you mail it to greece? no? well I tried... Quote
rybitski Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Posted July 1, 2006 I took some before pictures, but I don't think I'm going to post them, Ante.pyroboy,Hello, seems that you are wanting my flyback transformer... I happen to have plans for this particular flyback transformer, sorry. :P Quote
