Welcome to Silfer Works!

This is where I document my personal projects. I’m mostly posting about metalworking, electronics, leatherworking, laser cutting, 3D printing and modelling. I started to take photos and document my projects around 2019, but I’ve also posted about some older projects that I found from my archives.

Everything I post here is designed and built by me! There is no commercial aspect to any of this. It is a pure hobby, and I do it for my own pleasure.

I’ve got a lot of questions about how much time I spend on different projects. Due to this, I’ve tagged all of the posts with either “Small Projects“, “Medium Projects“, or “Large Projects” -tags. This is purely an indication of the time I’ve spent, and has nothing to do with complexity of the build.

Small Projects – I’ve spent hours on it.

Medium Projects – I’ve spent days on it.

Large Projects – I’ve spent weeks on it.

The posts with the “Build Log” -tag has a complete description of the building and designing process. Be prepared for a lot of pictures!

If you wish to get hold of me, you can do it through LinkedIn or Reddit. Neither one should be very difficult to figure out.

I hope you enjoy my chronicles of building random things.

I don’t play board games but I like to challenge myself with creating interesting 3d models. A die tower was a perfect thing to make as it would have moving parts, interchangeable design, and limited hardware. The model does not require any supports, and only needs a spring from a…

Silfer Works Cap

As my son’s teddy got a fancy sombrero, I thought that now was my turn to get a hat! I got new maker’s marks laser engraved (I will post about these soon!), so I wanted to test the larger one on a small project. I don’t have a cap for…
