Time to fly!

I once saw this artist who had made a chair that was floating in the air by the repelling force of magnets

and it raised a question that got stuck in to my mind;

How would it feel like to lie on a floating bed ?

Well I had to find out, so this is the story about it :)

I got this awesome pile of wood from a friend, and with some pondering I figured out how to make a bed out of it.

 Made few little adjustments.

Tested it out.

Got the legs ready for the magnets.

And the when the package of eight 400 kilo neodym magnets arrived,

 I carefully sealed them inside the legs.

(without any darn metal on the table) :D

Then made all the attachements to keep the bed from floating around the house ;)

 

Piled it up to for the test.

And Got all the answers needed!

Sweet dreams and welcome to test it to the Recycling factory in two weeks! :)

Goggels behold!

As many of you might know, I'm attending the Recycling factory in couple of weeks as my first exhibition and on top of this I opt to participate to a recycle-fashion-kinda-costume-contest as a Airship Engineer !

So I have a costume to make and since good goggles are such a crucial part of steampunk I just had to make a pair.

 This is what I found for this, an old oil lamp and a lens collection from a epidiascope.

 Everything set apart to the useful pieces. 

 Lens set inside the crown to make it work as a telescope with another lens in front of the eye.

 Some leather glued to back and front.

 And behold the goggles! Works with bronzen boys,

                                            Babies,

With my wife :),

And with me with the hat of an airship engineers!
