Typewriter Assemblage: Jeremy Mayer
[LESS INFO] 115 VIEWS | ADDED 18:30:12 08/26/11
Jeremy Mayer 's typewriter assemblages are sculptural pieces made purely from typewriter parts. In a process he calls "reassemblage," Mayer fits the pieces together into likenesses of living creatures using no welds, glue, solder, or external parts. He talks about and shows his work at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011.

Make a Typecase into a Coffee Table
[LESS INFO] 156 VIEWS | ADDED 20:00:00 08/12/11
It's metal month on MAKE, which doesn't mean a Slayer-overload, it means it's time to put on your Flashdance leotard and start welding. I've had this vintage typecase for months and I've been wanting to make it into a sweet new coffee table. Metalworking month is the perfect time to learn how to weld to create an industrial base for the table.
I went to the Madagascar Institute in Brooklyn, NY and learned the basics from Hackett who is a skilled expert. I am light years away from his skill level, and if you are too you can check out Make: Live Episode 14 to get a really helpful welding lesson.

Another easy addition to this table that really brought it up a few notches was getting a custom piece of glass cut for the top. I anticipated this being difficult and expensive, but it took less than 10 minutes and was $35.
Cost break-down:
* Scrap metal - free
* Typecase - (free for me because I live next to a letterpress, but for you...) $10-20
* Glass (custom cut) - $35
* Rubber stoppers - $3
* Liquid Nails - $3
Total: $51-61
If you can't find a welding class, or prefer a more mid-century look, I am loving these hairpin legs that you can scoop up at a thrift store or on Ebay for under $20. They make any piece into an instant retro table!

Develop Film With Instant Coffee And Vitamin C
[LESS INFO] 111 VIEWS | ADDED 17:00:00 07/06/11
Matt Richardson @ MAKE recently explored homebrew film developing with "caffenol" in this how-to video . > Only recently did I find out that you can develop negative film with instant coffee, vitamin C, and washing soda. This homebrew developer has become known as "caffenol" and there are plenty of photographers out there who have used this method in the darkroom. I read up on a few different recipes and tried my hand at developing my own snapshots with caffenol. As you can see from the video, it took a couple tries, but I did eventually get it right. As a matter of fact, I was impressed with the results:
