Wow, I love Casstasstrophe’s jewelry. I wish she weren’t on vacation—I’d be tempted to buy it all now! She hits all the geek themes: Firefly, Game of Thrones, Buffy, Star Trek, even Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Two ways to make Tom Servo
Lately I’ve been getting really into watching Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (MST3K, of course). While my favorite robot on the show is Crow, I feel like Tom Servo is the most easily identifiable robot, even for non-fans of the show. With that in mind, I was curious about what kind of work might go into making a realistic Tom Servo robot.
Luckily, there’s a MST3K fansite that has instructions on how to construct Tom Servo! It looks like attempts were started on Crow and Gypsy, but the website hasn’t been updated since 2006 so I wouldn’t hold my breath on those. Tom looks great though! The anonymous builder admits that this is his first attempt at building one of the bots, but I wasn’t really able to tell.
If you want to give bot building a shot, but fiber arts are more your thing, Craftster member MageAkyla has instructions about how to crochet a chibi Tom Servo.In this version, he’s just a few inches tall and so cute!
I love the creativity and enthusiasm of MST3K fans! If you have any of your own related crafts, please let us know about them!

“Robot roll call!”
Oh, how I miss Mystery Science Theater 3000: the bad movies, the spaceship shenanigans, the cute robots mouthing off.
Looks like I’m not the only one. Craftster member motoredxheart sculpted a wee polymer clay Tom Servo. I love how she used a clear bead to get just the right gumball machine-head look to him.
You can snag your own at her Etsy shop, Sweet Geek, and set him up in front of your iPod to heckle mini-sized movies.
