On Wax/Off Wax - Building a Recorder Kit (early access) (Patreon)

In this video I assemble a Japanese educational kit that should be able to record on, and play recordings off, a wax cylinder.

If you want to see some of the other Gakken kits - their website is here: http://otonanokagaku.net/english/index.html

After making this video (it was shot a few weeks ago) I've already bought a couple of other Gakken products off ebay  One of those is this kit http://otonanokagaku.net/english/products/gramophone/detail.html that can play  normal vinyl records as well as etch a recording into the plastic coating of a CD-R. 

I'll see how well this first one is received, before I decide whether to make a video about that kit or assemble it just for my own enjoyment.

P.S. I've stopped using Twitter recently and deleted it off all my devices - there's no one reason, I just found it was a time waster and my experience fluctuated between irritation, frustration and antagonism, very rarely venturing into enjoyment.  

Every now and then I like to take a step back, look at how I spend my time and  eliminate anything from my daily routine that I don't find fun and rewarding...so it had to go. The only reason I mention this is so you aren't wasting your own time sending me tweets, because I can't read them. 

Patreon has a messaging function that works well. I get immediate notification of any messages received and I know  these  won't be from trolls, bots, spammers or psychopaths.  I believe that youtube still auto-tweets my new video releases out, so it probably looks like I'm there...but I'm not.
