This is an example of construction design. What do you think, is this cool or just stupid and dangerous or is it perhaps art? Would you consider building a project along these lines? 8)

Did you make this? What does it do?

Well, looks like someone has a PCBphobia! ;D
Yeah, I guess it looks like art. I don't know if it does something, looks like a counter: Perhaps you could try capture it?

I've built some pretty bad looking projects in my day, but nothing on this kind of scale.
I'm opting for a low-precision digital thermometer myself--given the mix of what looks like RCA cans in there. A vintage circuit to be sure.
I can go for leaning in the direction of art. It would look kind of cool, and a bit more stable, encapsulated in good-quality resin.
Only after seeing this, have I come up with some similar ideas that would make my wife roll her eyes. I could probably be talked into something like that.

Well my first thoughts were, what a monstrosity . But then I realised it appears that every component there has a function, I can't help to be impressed 8). Although I do feel a kookaburra would have been a better component choice, its performance is far more superior then a Peacock, for a laugh ;D ;D ;D.

Well as far as safety is concerned it's not too dangerous either, I assume no live parts are exposed on the mains side or the transformer and as the secondary is fused. I can't see any risk of shock or fire.
Look at this for an interesting audio oscillator construction. ;D

Yeah, but I have a feelling it won't reach mass production. ;D

Very hazardous to your eyes!!
There's a danger of pricking it!! 8) wear this when working on it too.. ;D

Not too long ago I built a VHF oscilator like this because I couldn't get the damn thing to work on veroboard. ;D
