DIY

Our table legs were too short to allow me to use some donated drawers underneath for our nursery. Rather than using boring table leg extensions, I printed something fun instead. The feet were a great success, using AI was… less so.

Taking some time between jobs, I headed down to Lisbon to build my own wooden surfboard with Antoine at Ondanova surfboards.

After building the desk, I needed a better way to manage cables and reclaim some desk space. Scaffolding poles, 3D printing, and a wooden backplane to the rescue.

Working on the kitchen table gets old quick. Nice desks are expensive to buy, and cheap desks aren’t inspiring. I built my own.

Mostly as a Christmas present, but partly as a pathfinder project for the desk, I built a slab wood bench for my in-laws.

A dive into PCIe and taking a dremel to a Razer eGPU enclosure in search of stable Gigabit Ethernet.

I wanted to move my home workspace off the kitchen table post-lockdown, and thought rather than buying a boring desk I should make a nice one. This is part one in that journey.

I printed a set of the Back-Loaded Horn Speaker V2.0 by guppyk from Thingiverse. They’re pretty good, but the I think I was pushing the capabilities of the printer a little far.

Stuck in another lockdown I embarked on building a guitar. Things came out pretty well.

We wanted a statement light for our new flat, but didn’t want to spend hundreds of pounds. I made one out of some scrap wood.

An old tabletop, some reclaimed construction timber and some very big dovetails.

Had some spare wood lying around and needed a new guitar stand. I try my hand at some traditional joinery.

The Croydon wood recycling centre is a great place, given everyone is locked down during the Covid19 pandemic, it’s been a great time to make progress on some home improvement. This project involved… a lot of sanding.
