A guy's gotta have some tunes when he is tinkering in the garage, right.

A HOR
a-horse-of-a-different-colour
Makers Care is inviting makers of all types to submit projects to help them collect donations so they can help the Make a Wish foundation.
This year's project theme is *animals*.
Since I mostly do model railroad and electronics stuff, I had to think a bit about what to do as an animal project.
Then I remembered I had an HO scale horse on my "to do" shelf.

KIT B
kit-build-tesla-ish-coil
As requested by my patreon supporters, here is the "musical tesla coil" kit that arrived in mailbag#57 a couple of weeks ago.
Many of you had things to say about this kit in the comments of the mailbag video, so I wasn't expecting great things from this one.
As expected with these cheap Chinese kits, there are a few issues, but it does sort-of work.
For anyone interested, here is the Wikipedia article on tesla coils: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil
Here is where i bought the kit: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Mini-Tesla-Coil-Plasma-Speaker-Set-Electronic-DIY-Kit-Field-Music-Project-Part/362535553859

CURIO
curiosity-teardown-beer-store-freebie
When I was at the beer store picking up some *supplies* they offered me a pick from a box of promo freebies.
Obviously I picked something with blinking LEDs and a rechargeable battery.
Let's see what else is inside it...
