Lyrics box for practice/gigging

Lyricsbox 3-Up
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool

While visiting family over Thanksgiving I witnessed this device in use – “Mark’s Magic Box” displays song lyrics and note changes to simplify band rehearsals. The setup uses a laptop + LCD for storage and display – controlled via foot-pedal which was built from a mouse and housed in a handmade metal enclosure. A teleprompter for music – very cool!

    Someone asked on flicker the software used. Nothing too magical – just powerpoint. This will be used live and it will sit next to the vocal monitor I am building.

    Mark – the maker of the magic box.

Don't get me wrong, they're cheap and often get the job done, but they were made to not drive well. They were designed specifically in the early 20th century to cam out when too much force was applied. Now that we have torque-limiting drills this isn't a problem anymore, yet somehow we still use them.

We use the phrase "two by four" in common parlance, but did you know it's actually 3.5 inches wide? Don't make assumptions on size; always measure first.
