This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Tattoo gun
I'm still a student at college at the moment, but i'm doing art to be able to train to be a tattoo artist. I saw an advertisment in a magazine for a tattoo gun last year that was dirt cheap (£50).

I had fun tattooing water melons and pig skin for a while, ink everywhere but actually quite good.

But one day it exploded and the peddle burnt my foot* but after tinkering i figured out it was only the peddle broken, so I cut the peddle off my sewing machine and hooked it up. Hurrah! I was off again.

Good times.

*serves me right for not wearing shoes

Good luck with the tats!
May I be the first to say I'm a little disappointed about the word 'water' directly ahead of the following word... Cheers

Oooh
There's always adverts for tat guns and the like in the back of Bizarre magazine - but not for spare parts! How clever *clicks*
