For the seasoned DIYer, there's hardly anything that can't be done with a set of Chumby Guts (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/chumby-guts-kit-lets-you-build-your-own-chumby-device/). For a seasoned DIYer with a set of Chumby (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Chumby/) Guts, an old clock, a few brass horns and a Dremel tool, there's absolutely nothing -- save for spare time and determination -- standing between him / her and a homegrown masterpiece such as the one you're peering at above. Etsy member AbrahamBook's latest creation is a WiFi-enabled widget monster that is shoved within a half vintage, half steampunk-styled enclosure. The Chumbophone doesn't actually seem capable of making calls via the integrated horns, but we'd sure love to see a version that was. Not that we're trying to force any ideas down your throat or anything...Chumbophone proves that even Chumby can go retro (and like it) (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/chumbophone-proves-that-even-chumby-can-go-retro-and-like-it/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Mon, 07 Dec 2009 09:42:00 EST.
