DIY Friday: Typewriter Keyboard
I’m moving soon, and as I’m sorting through my old junk, there are still some things I can’t part with. One of them is an old typewriter that I got from my uncle. It doesn’t work anymore, but I can’t quite bring myself to throw it away.
And now, my years of pack-rat behavior may have paid off, because I just found a way to rig up that old typewriter as a new computer keyboard.

If you don’t already have an old Underwood sitting in your closet, there’s no shortage of manual typewriters on eBay.
