what to do, what to do?
OK, so every year about this time, i decide to do something silly and
over the top. Last year was the titanium hammer. I need ideas for this year. Has to involve computer controlled machine tools. Has to involve expensive raw materials... Obviously it has to be practically useless.

Re: what to do, what to do?
Weren't you going to make a uranium volume knob? That'd be pretty insane, but not terribly useful.

So no hazardous materials. Nothing radioactive, no beryllium copper, no asbestos... No loud screeching noises attempting to machine damascus... And yes the hammer did take quite a while to machine. justin came up with the idea of a magnetic levitation table for the BHSE...

Re: what to do, what to do?
A "naked" clock, where you can see all the little bits at work. Though it probably involves a ridiculous amount of work for one that looks cool. That's just my inner horologist dreaming

Re: what to do, what to do?
bungie based suspension is just as good though not as cool and I'd have to wonder if those fields aren't big enough to deflect the paths of your electrons in the tubes.

"A small child recently lost his hand when his father left two # 31 supermagnets unattended. The child picked one up and when he approached the other magnet on a nearby table,
it became airborne and obliterated his small hand."
