Good day, everyone!

I understand, that this is really obvious idea, but i still want to share it with you.

So, when I got this amazing typewriter for christmas - my first thought after building (and half an hour of playing with it) - can it be used to do something at least minimally useful aside from just nicely standing on a shelf? 

I've done some simple measurement and so happens that my bluetooth keyboard (which i'm using to type this text right now) has almost the same measurements as Typewriter's keyboard.

Then I've made a simple frame,

Added axles under each button on typewriter. Due to proportions of the frame most fitting axles are - 6m for the lower row, 8m for the middle row and 10m for the upper row.

After placing typewriter with axles on the frame - and securing it with pins - I've got a pretty useless but nice and simple invention which can be used to feel yourself like a proper XIX-XX century journalist or writer.

Of course it has less keys than actual keyboard underneath, but as it is lego you may simply add more. Or make a lever for the Enter and Tab keys - possibilities are endless.

Here is the video explaining it once more. Also it is showing that you may even play games, using typewriter as controller.

P.S. Video has no music, so you may use it as ASMR with typewriter clicking sounds

Thanks for watching!
