Ah, yes! Do you remember Lockwasher? He’s the ultimate DIYer, creating robots and sculptures from metal junk. I know, that was awhile ago but he’s back with some really awesome creations this time around. This one is called Beer2-D3 and you can easily make your own with a free afternoon, random parts and a case of Heineken it seems:

What is Beer2-D3 made from?
Beer2’s technical specs:

Head – 1945 chrome BLC utility light shell.
Eye – vintage movie camera lens w/adjustable spring-loaded aluminum casing.
Body – 4.7 liter “adult soda” mini-keg.
Legs – propane tank valve handles, brass spacers, drilled-out washers, pair of aluminum Lady Josephine shoe butler (wall-mounted shoe shine holders).
Feet/base – 3 mini bread loaf pans, lamp hardware and a 1/2? precision drilled aluminum base plate.
+assorted nuts, bolts, screws and, of course – lockwashers!

Slammin’. Tell you what. Lets make out own robot. You come up with the schematics and assemble it, I’ll drink the beer.

Just because you killed off your Heineken mini-keg all doesn’t mean the fun has to end there. Why not make use of it by turning the keg into a guitar amplifier? eBay seller k_hessler  puts these amplifiers together (whilst under the influence) so he can sell them on the Internet for $119.99.

There’s nothing specifically noteworthy about this 20W amp, I mean – it doesn’t even double as a bong. At least it’s made well, unlike many other DIY amplifiers out there which lack a power switch and volume control. For your own safety, keep the beer amp away from the beercuzi.  Water and amplifiers don’t mix. However, beer and amplifiers do.

Though I am a self-proclaimed Dogfish Head fan, Heineken definitely takes the keg for this doozy of a mod. It’s a damn Jacuzzi made from empty beer cases. It’s truly amazing and I’m assuming this was created by engineering students at some partying college.

And by engineering students, I mean a fraternity 30-hours into a coke bender.
