This was the first attempt at circuit rewiring for me. I've never touched the guts of any machine before and I thought I would try something simple. I took the wiring out of an old phone and tried to make it work by just having it's wires and hardware on the outside rather than inside a box.

I began by taking out all of the insides of a phone that I bought at a vintage store. I then placed them out on a large piece of wood that I had stained black. I set everything up as exactly as it was laid inside of the phone.

I then began to tear and de-gut other electronic equipment so that I could arange them around the board so that it looked as if there was some sort of design for the piece.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I ended up creating in the end was basically a piece that was visually more interesting than being actually useful.

I did all of the wiring on a rug carpet that shorted out my circuits and in the end the phone didn't actually work. It would have been pretty cool if it had worked.

The experience I took out ofthis project made it all worth while.
