Altoids Tins - In Need Of, Please

[Mac in Wisco]

Quote:

I've built a number of little projects into Altoid type tins. The one the kids like is an audio modulated laser. I tore apart a laser pointer and mounted the laser diode on the end of a tin and built a small circuit to modulate it from an IPod or other audio device. I could shine the laser across the room onto a small solar cell hooked to a pair of headphones and transmit crystal clear audio via the laser beam.

Man, you are one talented dude!

No more than anybody else. Radio and electronics have just been a hobby of mine since I was a kid.

Are you really Bill Nye the Science Guy in disguise?

I've got maybe half a dozen, and you are welcome to them. I've used all I can for bits and drivers, X-acto blades and all sorts of things! Do you mind cleaning off sharpie markings?

PM the address, I'll send next week, can't wait to see the results.

Your, in recycle, reduce and reuse.

And mac in abilene? Wow!

(hmmmmm.... is that wow-bow or bow-wow?)

We use the small tins for Geocaches but I might have some available, I'll check and get back with you.
