Ring the bowls! 05/16/2010
 
Picture
A new set of bowls are in development here in the Rizatek Forge. Each bowl rings long and true, a perfectly pitched musical note.  These guys are  difficult to make, and take much patience. (*pictured above: A bowl that rings the note A)

My first attempt at bending the Casio SK-1. Most of the noises are pretty random, it' acts very much like an old school analog synth. The switches and knobs I added to this one are in 3 groups. An Image group, an axis group and a skew group along with pitch, poly and skew potentiometers. It also has a body contact that acts as a vibrato. Building this one was like doing heart surgery on a mouse...

I pulled out the old Mig welder and got busy on a rack mount computer monitor holder and some fancy studio monitor stands. Here they are displayed in all their glory.
 
Custom Cases. 01/25/2010
 
Picture
The nice folks at Rizatek have been dabbling in custom case design for all you rack mount needs... (Pictured above: 3 space rack mount stand with dual computer monitor space on top)
Picture
...although, some are critics of the custom cases for circuit bending projects. (Steel or aluminum custom cases available, specify dimensions and desired finish)

This is a toy guitar I bought for a couple of dollars at Goodwill. It's got a pitch pot and 3 phreaking switches. It's commonly referred to as the Led Zeppelin guitar in my household because it goes waaahhhahahhhauuuhhh. See a video of it in the video section.
