WATCH IT RUN
Why it exists
This absurd project is a vintage electric drill, painstakingly disassembled, cleaned, drilled almost out existence, then reassembled with internal LED lights.
A record player speed governor has been inserted in the chuck to provide visual feedback as the motor speed is adjusted on the dial.
Found aluminum TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. Electronics salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired.
