It’s been a while since HP launched these handheld PC’s now and I’ve had this one since 2004. During the past few years it’s been collecting dust in a cupboard together with other gadgets that no one uses any more. A while back I brought it out again since it’s handy to take to meetings [...]

My Victorian cellphone is ready
Posted by Christa on September 15th, 2009
Today I finally got the petite ball chain in the mailbox Which means that after we got back from town I’ve been gluing. Unfortunately, there was no other way to do this. Since the surface underneath is still plastic it would have been a disaster to try anything else, so I had to use super [...]

Posted by Christa on September 4th, 2009
It’s taken a while to figure out how to replace that piece of metal that I dressed my cellphone with the other day :p And in the end I had to use enamel paint for the base. What you see in this picture is not much….just a teaser really. I’m not done yet and I [...]

Posted by Christa on September 2nd, 2009
I had the copper foil in the mail this morning, so when I was done with breakfast I began to dress up my cell phone. And later I also found out how stupid I am :p The phone became very shiny and perdy…however, it also became completely useless :pp And I did this in spite [...]

When we came to B&Q yesterday to get those hex key set that I needed to open my cell phone, the smallest key was too big. No surprise there. However, in one of the stalls I found a big set of keys like that with sizes that went way down on the scale…and a lot [...]
Hex keyset and foil
Posted by Christa on August 31st, 2009
Unless B&Q is closed today since it’s Bank Holiday Monday and all, I’m buying myself the keyset you see in the picture here. I need it to get into my cell phone. Not sure why they haven’t used regular screws, but I guess they want to make it a bit more tricky to destroy :p [...]

Posted by Christa on August 27th, 2009
You know, 1,2 mm doesn’t sound like much, but it is. At least when it comes to brass. I got my two brass sheets today that I need to begin to Steampunk my cell phone…however, I will have to use those for something else because they are way too thick. And heavy. So I will [...]
Steampunking a cellphone
Posted by Christa on August 23rd, 2009
I’ve wanted to Steampunk a cellphone for some time, but I keep postponing it since these things tend to be easy to break. And that still applies. Cellphones are sensitive and high tech and I’ve got absolutely no clue what they look like under the hood…well, other than chips and stuff of course. Quite a [...]
