Making for the sake of making, but is it art?

Sometimes I get an idea in my head. They aren't generally very original. The important thing, the satisfying thing is making the idea real.

I'd been pondering doing another bit of decorating in the Hackspace after the satisfaction I got out of making 3 flying drills and I decided I might like to make something with telephones.

My inspiration was the decoration in one of the upstairs rooms at M5 Industries Inc that you can occasionally see on Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel. It's very hard to find a picture of it to show you.

When we had a recent donation of a load of stuff including a pile of telephones. So here is the result!

I took the phone apart including all the boards which are in two layers. I also dismantled the handset. I worked out where to run threaded rod to avoid parts that weren't suitable or too flimsy.

I then popped the whole thing on the Hackspace drill press and ran 8mm holes all the way through. I'm rather pleased with the result.

Wonder what I'll do next?
