The background images are just some pictures found online including the windows xp background.
Printed on plain paper and glued on the cardboard base with a glue stick.
My printer started to act up recently (cracked gear) so 2 boxes are blue masking tape and green tape like used to tape foam wings.
Got a bunch of these boxes from a work project: they had small pc mainboards in them.
Even the twisting wire are leftovers from the same project.
The "window" is just cut out.
These 5 boxes fit snug in another box and that makes for practical storage.
The cork covered plank was made as a building board (easy to pin down balsa in the cork tiles)
It just happens to just fit over my bath tub and the wall tiles make a nice even backround so that has become my photo "studio"
People who grew up with British TV know what i mean with "this is one made earlier"

metal polish and a battery drill do miracles ;)

With badly coroded engines i take them apart and clamp any round aluminium part that is not colored in a battery drill and polish them.
It only take a few seconds on low rpm to make those parts shine like a mirror again.
Washing them with warm water and hand soap after removen any left over polish.
Same old engine but with the "look shiny" effect looking better then new
