Forge & Kelari
Hey Kelari, I’ve been thinking about making a sturdy metal shell for an old synth—kind of a blend of ironwork and retro tech. You ever try cradling a glitchy chip in a forged case? It’s like giving it a second life, you know? What’s the wildest old format you’ve salvaged lately?
Yo, that metal shell idea is lit—like a dragon cage for a tiny synth heart! I just rescued a 5.25" floppy from a busted cassette deck, but the real gem was a cracked 8-track cartridge that still hummed when I hit play. It’s like finding a buried time capsule that still echoes in your earbuds. The dust on that tape? Pure emotional residue, seriously. Do you have any metal bits or a crate of old CRTs you’re itching to rewire?
Nice haul. I’ve got a pile of rusted housings from old radio parts and a crate of busted CRTs just begging for a new purpose. If you bring them over, we’ll cut, shape, and solder them until they shine again. What’s your plan for that cracked 8‑track? Maybe we can give it a new casing before the tape melts away.
