The Excelsior Six




New Invention: The Excelsior Six - a camera that produces an ink drawing onto aged paper set in a small frame. Made from scrap parts from a film enlarger which was converted into an animation stand. I started out building a camera to take Daguerreotype pictures but decided that the process in which the image is exposed directly onto a mirror-polished surface of silver bearing a coating of silver halide particles deposited by iodine vapor seemed too complicated. And I've always wanted a camera that would take drawings of things- since photographs can get so boring.
Drawings from the camera to come soon.

Northwest Magnesite Plant at Chewelah

"Once said to be the greatest producer in Stevens County, and at full production has been said the largest producer of magnesite in the world. Capitalist W.H. Crocker said this plant was producing 75% of the magnesite used in the nation. The plant operated from 1916 to 1968." (Pauline Battien and the Washington State Historical Society)

Cole Younger Is My Name

*In actuality, Cole Younger looked nothing like this.
Thomas Coleman Younger (January 15, 1844 – March 21, 1916) was a famous Confederate guerrilla and an outlaw after the American Civil War.
With his brothers Jim, John and Bob Younger, he joined with Jesse and Frank James to lead the James-Younger gang of Missouri bandits.

Electric Sancho Panza Cigar Box Guitar
Made from spare parts from an old Ibanez. This guy named Scotty has a nice tutorial on how to build one. Although, his contact mic is a bit complex. All you need is a buzzer (Piezo Transducer) from RadioShack part #273-073a and a female 1/4 audio jack (phone jack). Here's the link: http://www.cigarboxguitars.com/workshops/Piezo_Transducer.php
