Rusharound

My colleague Evan is noted for, among other things, generating enough static electricity to inadvertently reset the clock in his microwave. Just walking by Evan is a risky proposition. So I decided to take action. On Monday I will deliver to Evan his own automatic anti-static sprayer. Its a simple machine that is triggered when he steps on the threshold. More pictures and a video after the jump.

	Disregard the HVAC register part; I didn’t use it Parts Complete bike brake set Some angle brackets Some little spring loaded clips Lots of rivets A threshold
	This is my “work bench.” The drill press you see is actually a cordless drill, the vice is actually my bare hands, and the work bench is actually an Ikea filing cabinet with its cushion removed. Note to self: Make sure next home has a workshop.
