The guys at EverythingUSB must’ve seen that USB fan video we posted yesterday and thought “I can top that”…and top it they did. Check out the DIY USB pottery wheel, that’s right…I said “pottery wheel.”

Using just a few simple spare parts that most of the enthusiasts are sure to have laying around, and a very simple knowledge of electronics, the video shows you how you can make your own too

Sweet! I took two semesters of wheel throwing in college and loved every minute of it. I made some sweet chalices for my groomsmen and made about $200 at the university's art sale.

That's very cool and now you can impress your fellow commuters or onlookers while at stop lights, in the park, anywhere you desire!
 
When they invent the a USB Basket Weaver then I will be truly impressed. :p
 
I was impressed with that USB frying pan.
 
Cool idea for the stoner geek that breaks their [Bart]cool pencil holder[/Bart]'s, and need a replacement right quick (nevermind it needs to be fired still I guess).... Sorry, I just watched the Barbershop Quartet ep the other night ;).

Maybe this should be a regular [H] post thing, I like these little DIY things, esp the CD/USB fan project yesterday.. Plenty of discarded Chuck Shaw corks around the house, and bunk polycarbonate discs - can't say I have little motors lying around though.

My wife will be more impressed when they come up with the USB Vacuum Sweeper because then maybe I'll do a little house work.

I'll make sure she doesn't see that one if it happens. :D
 
This is a stupid idea. I'm in ceramics in college right now and if you don't have access to kilns and glazes and stuff anything you throw is pretty much worthless.

i think you read (or in this case, watched) into that one a little too much
 
just make a USB slip and glaze mixer, and a USB kiln!
 
Now all we need is a USB CNC pottery wheel that creates pots from Autodesk Inventor designs. :D
