This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Fix my bike
I once cut some clothes line wire from the apprentice (Airforce)laundry, formed it into six semi-precision pins
(using pliers and a file)
and held them in with the bottom of a soft drink can retained by a circlip from my stereo, to make the gear selector in my motocrosser work. It worked for years.
