Quick organizer (made with a discarded keyboard)

This is my second instructable of my artistic residence, born of the need of having an organizer for my tools and materials. So I took a discarded ergonomic keyboard, two plastic containers (found with the colander of my last instructable, on the back alley of a Chinesse restaurant. Again, don't ask!), a plastic piece for balance, bolts and nuts; and I made a basic organizer with two shelves. It took me twenty minutes and it's a good way to recycle your damaged keyboard, it doen't matter the shape.


Oh, and this is my fiftieth instructable! :-)

Step 1: Materials

For this organizer I used:

• 2 plastic containers (washed, cleaned and desinfected)
• 1 Damaged ergonomic keyboard
• Some plastic piece (for back support)
• 1 Corner brace inside L (2in. x 5/8in.)
• Nuts, bolts and washers.
• 3 Screws (for hanging the pliers)

TOOLS

Dremel Rotary Tool
tweezers
screwdivers
scalpel
pliers
Wire cutters
Screwdriver kit
Super Glue


And don't forget:

1. If you don't have it, replace it!
2. Use protective equipment (dust mask and goggles)
3. Beware of drilled and soldered hot surfaces
4. Work in a good ventilated area.
5. Always have junk in stock.
6. Have fun.

Two things: I had no idea the back of this thing was a keyboard and also I had no idea you made it. From the front it looks like something bought at a store.

I should really pay more attention around the office.

Thanks Dworley. And if you check it now, you will find I add some extra features, like a box, post-its, a porta-pen, screwdrivers organizer and magnet for keeping the scissors at hand. :-)

I would love that! I will supply the dessert and maybe you can bring the Colombian coffee for hubby! I told him you said it was the best world wide!
>^.^<

[M.C. Langer]

Perfect! But I can buy Colombian coffee in U.S., because Colombia exports almost all its coffee (sadly, we drink Vietnamese coffee... it's funny!)

[sunshiine]

I was thinking it might not be as fresh! I am not a coffee drinker so I wouldn't know! Is Vietnamese coffee better?

[M.C. Langer]

I don't know. As you, I'm not a frecuent coffee drinker. These taste the same for me :-)

[sunshiine]

I love the way coffee smells BUT not the way it taste! Have a nice night!
