Raw Iron
It is a “Sinterkula” an iron sphere that is a product of iron ore extraction. I found it in Norberg; 60° 5′ 0″ N, 15° 57′ 0″ E (at the Festival); it is approximately ⌀24 mm in diameter, quite heavy, it is oxidated and it is most definitely made of iron Fe26. Sinter, geologisk och… Continue reading Raw Iron
Failure By Design
Q: Two of the items* are identical (material composition is slightly different). One of them was bought last week and the other two are at least 20 years old. Can you guess which one is which? The suspense is mounting! Do send your answer to: nfo AT resurface.se and you will get a reply/A: (bonus… Continue reading Failure By Design

Lilla berget… The Little Mountain as in Fuji… that would be post: 1222 to you. Forced to build a new one (bike).
Hardware III
The Little Black Bear was kidnapped/stolen. This is his new companion* – it is a work in progress; rolling frame with frustratingly few parts missing right now. The season is about to end, but as Uncle Dugs said: “We’re getting there!. * Project 7005 aka Little Golden Puma.
Theory/Practice
The Shimano CB-E110 (minus the Over Lock Nut) disassembled. It needs cleaning, unfortunately one crucial component is damaged: 12 321 9022 Ball Retainer A (1/4″). But, all in all it looks to be in good mechanical condition and salvageable. Please see: Theory/Practice II and The Mechanic for theory and reference.

Lost In Translation/The Really Hard Ones
Assembly. Machine code. As close as you’ll ever get to a binary machine. Can you get closer? Maybe Fortran? I am an analyst, not and nor will ever be a programmer… made it to the moon and back.
Machine
I just remembered a long-forgotten myth, a mystical story about an equally mythical machine called the “Box”. Supposedly it was randomly generating “Acid” noises (Roland 101, 303 and 808 sounds), opaque and shifting colours at the same time; formed as a cube; in the late 80’s. I have never, ever seen one, but then, much… Continue reading Machine
