Someone posts random things they dont know what to do with, and everyone else gives them ideas, inspiration, or possible projects.

Also have an empty bottle of peach vodka.

I was thinking about trying to grow some plants / mushrooms and maybe sticking a snail or something in here. No clue what would fit however.

It's kind of obvious, but you could make one of those bowls out of that record. (Google vinyl bowl) I'd love to see some more creative projects out of it, though.

If it was a normal record I would suggest breaking it into pieces and making a mosaic of your favorite music artist out of it.
Not really sure what you can do with that, but you could try melting it and making it a bowl or ashtray. I believe you can do it with an oven.
You might get an interesting bowl shape since it's already warped.

to make a record bowl you just take the record and lay it over a oven-proof bowl you have, then as it heast up it will droop down into the real bowl, generally made of ceramic or glass. you might have to push it in a bit to get the best shape. really easy to do. about the oven temps i don't know whats best but i would say 350-400 should be about right.

that + old Overhead projector = movie/game projector
Remove it and wire it up to work out of the casing
Place it where the transparent paper would go

-Sell it online. Some art retard will prob pay $100 for it.

>>23976
-Napalm. Seal it off with melted rubber/ducktape for use when SHTF.
-Or get a bunch of old bottles and build a water heater out of them google it

>>24047
-What is broken on it? If its the engine then replace it or fix it and draw something on the blades so when the blades spins the picture spins very slowly. >IE. car rims look like they spin slow when spinning fast.
-Remove the fan parts and make it into a little basket
