A machine shop owner, Steve Grimes, built this kaleidoscope for me after hearing how I'd always dreamed of being able to videotape one. It allowed personal objects to be placed inside to make for individualized showings and was able to be videotaped when turned by hand. Impossible to thank him enough.

Fractals are the new kaleidoscopes. My parents had this wooden one that the bought at a Renaissance Fair and you could open it up and put anything inside you wanted to. It also had a prism type glass you could attach to make things look different.
