For Science

My Aetheric Strat-o-meter is complete! This device is a commission for a customer and has wheels that turn, multiple light effects, buttons to push, a spring-loaded, extending scanning antenna, adjustable selector dial and a convenient shoulder strap. I gave it my aged metal paint job to look like it has been on many adventures. I printed the labels using my photo editing program. The main label, "Aetheric Strat-o-meter", had to be meticulously set to fit by digitally cutting and pasting every single letter into a curve. That was interesting and time-consuming. The unit is 6" by 9", and, with the antenna extended, over 18". Re-invented from thrift store items. I'm quite proud of this one!
