The Mechanical Cookbook

This is chapter nine from one of the many books that never happened. What came to be empty wine bottles, yesterdays' newspaper, repurposed copper wire and a couple of refrigerator magnets made a not so perfect pair of speakers. But the idea was -only- to make use of throw aways to create something of value... "They do work though" - Adam the audiophile.

”As a society, we have unjustifiably decided that what we throw out is trash. From trash new materials and opportunities will arise, thus completing the circle of recycling. Our ambition is to redefine the word trash by creating, and inspire to

create meaningful products for home use consisting of parts from disposed items and materials. All of which you can find in a garbage or waste disposal near you. Our goal is to shorten the circumference of recycling, inspire to create and learn while creating.”
