Have a lot of eggs, and want to start a project? This pinhole camera egg, or “Pinhegg” looks like a fun one, though by no means an easy one. You’ll need a drill, a pinhole plate, photo chemicals, and very steady hands. “During each stage of this process the egg could break. Usually it does.” Not reassuring!

Fortunately eggs are just eggs, and the worst possible result of this project is an omelette.
