    What reaction are you getting standing in the supermarket using the hodgepodge camera assembly?

    I especially like the blue wire twist screen holder:) I've been known to use those when I run short of tie-wraps.

    I will admit my mechanical skills are no where near that of our Canadian Engineer Red Green

    I am not totally sold on that display being ideal for this application, the wire wrap was a easy temporary solution Slight smile

    I'm sure with the brass polished up and a hipster camera strap, I'm sure people would think I'm a professional ( goof )

    Wow, what a brilliant imaginative mind! Something I don't posses. An excellent source for inspiration! I wasn't aware of them, thanks for sharing.

    scottiebabe   Back in the day, we called that wire wrap an example of Engineer Ingenuity.  One step closer to being Red Green, or at least MacGyver.
