Use your old floppy disks to make cool Star Wars toys

by Gareth Mankoo

Would you imagine that someday your floppy disks would turn out to be as useful as you Lego kit, in bringing about the building of a cool unreal world. The world that thrived among galaxies fat, far away. That’s right. Here’s a perfect guide that will help you convert you otherwise useless floppy drives to Millennium Falcons, X-Wing Fighter or Death Star models. With a few manageable moves you can make rubber bands, pliers, a hammer and a nail all come together and make your old floppies the best thing made by your human hands.

It’s interesting when you think about what must have inspired this move. The demo can be found here.
