I can't really claim credit for this invention (I'm not sure if my boyfriend Wallace can either: he showed me how to make it, but I ran into someone in California who says she's seen them before).

It's a spindle made out of two computer disks. They're not just any disks--they're those pesky, unsolicited disks AOL sends you in the mail once a month, which you feel guilty throwing out, but what else can you do?
Well you can make spindles out of them. I'm sure you can think of other non-traditional uses as well. And if you need a lesson on how to use those spindles, I'd be glad to give you a lesson over the internet.
It's fun, and it's green. Give it a try.
Hey, very cool idea! Sounds like something out of Readymade Magazine. Recently they had instructions for making a lamp out of the plastic container a stack of blank CDs comes in.
