From junk

A friend was telling me about his creative endeavors as a kid growing up in Spain. He comes from a family of 11 and money was a bit tight when he was young. Once his father scavenged some old, broken TVs and gave them to Santy so he could strip them of their copper wires, sell the metal, and have a little money for sweets or toys.
But when 7 year old Santy opened the first TV, he saw all the components inside and thought, “I can make a whole town from this!” So he did. He pulled apart the sets, broke open the tubes, disassembled everything and created a four meter square town of tiny buildings, roads and airplanes.
That may be the best use of a TV I’ve ever heard.
What creative things have you made out of old junk?
