Nice use for an old phone dialer, and convert the values using an arduino. Then you could use that for something else (maybe build up a phone system with the old dialer). https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Analog-Dialer-to-USB-Keyboard/

Nice CNC plotter
Only issue is part of it is homemade, but the author is using some rather expensive parts with it (pro couplers, ballbearing rod, etc). So that adds alot to the cost. https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-CNC-Writing-Machine-Using-GRBL/

Cheap big CNC build
The author did a nice job on the build. Mostly from wood cut to fit. I like the rail build. Oh and his zero in plate. https://www.instructables.com/id/Low-Cost-DIY-CNC-Router/
