This looks cool, but I'd make sure that those parts don't contain any heavy metals before strapping them to my skin!

Yeah, lotsa lead in the solder used on old circuit boards. After assembling the bracelet, I'd spray it with a clear conformal plastic coating to seal in all the badness.

Watch out for lead poisoning... Not sure if this would be effective or not. But maybe spray with varnish or lacquer before putting this against your skin.
I'm actually a little disappointed in MAKE for not checking this out more before posting this.
