modified and circuit bent things

I'm not going to bore myself with writing the details of these things or bore you with something you've probably read a hundred other places by now. Circuit bending's a good time and you can get some good usable results from it...Or you can add a couple body contacts to a terribly ugly, terribly useless toy and call it good...Whatever you're into. From the beginning my goal was to bend things as far as possible - add every possible mod and try to make sure they didn't conflict and crash or kill the machine. I've done up maybe 30 or 40 sk-1's (maybe more). I even had a dream of making th most bent sk-1 ever at one point...which I still may do - though I've been far surpassed by other benders by now (check out Peter Edwards). In addition most of the things you see here - with exception to the especially freaky little things - I've done a bunch of. This was how I made a living for a couple of years. And the only way I could do that at that time was to do it as well and as crazy as possible. When I started there were no bent things on ebay and only a couple years later did I happen upon anything listed. So I had to do what this other guy was doing, but do it better if I was to support my family - which I had hoped would encourage him to do better work...That's how some things evolve.

Anyway, now there are mad ammounts of bent up things on ebay...and I really hate to say all out here in the public and shit, but most of it looks like it was trash when it came from the thrift store and it didn't get any better after a little bending...That's not to say these things couldn't be made better with a little effort - which seems to be the problem...Just needs a little creative thinking.

So I went on and bent all this stuff plus at least a hundred other things - solid, completed and sold -that aren't archived.
