<\/center> <\/p>\n MAKE comrade Bre Pettis posted a link<\/a> to this incredible circuit bender’s<\/a> website. This stuff is absolutely crazy (as in: cool, and as in: has this dude been skimping on the meds?). I love the whimsical PCB layout for the “Fryall Computer” (above) I’d like to wholeheartedly encourage more of this (grids are highly overrated). The builder, Peter Blasser, describes the chip\/component arrangements as “villages,” and that’s a “temple” in the middle. He’s also come up with his own names for things. He writes: <\/p>\n The brass pegs are sandrodes, connected to multi-dimensional androgynous nodes within the circuit. Sandrodes are neither inputs nor outputs, they are both and none; connecting two together with copper makes a new node with characteristics from both. The nob dials don’t just control one feature, they interact on many different planes with the beast within.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Be sure to snoop around the site and environs. There’s a ton of cool and delightfully head-scratchy stuff to be found. I have a feeling this is what happens to your mind when you do a lot of bending. Not a bad thing, I’m just sayin’… <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/streettech.com\/storypics\/sandrodepeg.jpg\")
I’ll have what he’s having. I’d LOVE to have one of these crazy bending rigs. And I can! He’s actually selling them as kits. They cost US$250 and include everything, including the veneered wooden box. Here’s a page<\/a> of dozens of Fryalls made by different builders. <\/p>\n
