DAN DEMCHUK: Hi. I'm Dan Demchuk with circuit bending workshop we're doing today at the Paul Wall Manor. Right now, I'm going to talk about procedure and how you're going to get started.

Right now, we're going to take this VTech Sing-N-Learn CD Player toy for instance. It's kind of dirty. I picked it up at a thrift store. I think it was only 75 cents. You can see it on there. Usually, you want to use like some Windex. Just towel the stuff off so it's not disgusting. Next thing you want to do is open it up. There's all kinds of screws in the back of this thing. You're going to want to use like eyeglass repair kits. You can get these things at the Dollar Store usually, and they give you all kinds of sizes. They help.

But once you got it opened up, like this Elmo toy, there's places that you want to stick all your screws, and your speakers that are on them, the backs of them are magnets, so that's an easy way to keep your stuff from getting lost. Also, you don't want to cut anything just yet either. Usually they keep the power supplies pretty marked but these are one of the ones that tend to get cut really quickly. You don't want to break anything just yet.
