I made a design for a Triple Bunk Bed in January 2023. Since then my kids have been asking when the bed will be done as they really look forward to it. As the kids were growing out of their current smaller sized beds, I decided that it was time to get it over and…
“Mesla” – an electric trike with two seats – Part 1
I’ve been thinking about building an electric trike for some time already, but I never pulled the trigger on buying the motor and other components as I couldn’t find a reasonable battery pack which didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Also, as the trike is meant for the kids, it would need to be…
Sauna thermometer – Living room module
The dual level sauna thermometer worked like a dream, so now was the time to make the slave module for my living room. The design was pretty straightforward as I was able to re-use a lot of the code, and the enclosure just needed a slightly different design so it was able to stand on…
Dual level sauna thermometer with wireless connectivity
I have always wondered what the actual temperature difference is between the head and feet level of my sauna. I’ve also been considering to alter the ventilation to make this difference lower, but how would I know if I actually improve it? The answer is a dual level thermometer! It is of course not enough…
Customizable Mood-O-Meter for the office
It was again time for the yearly Christmas presents for my colleagues. Everyone will have custom “moods”, with the exception of “No Issues” which is not selectable. Selecting “No Issues” will always flip it to another mood as not having any issues is impossible!
Restoration of an ancient metal brake
I got an old metal brake from the family of an old machinist who had passed away. It stood in my workshop for almost an year, but I finally restored it and added a new handle to it to make it functional again. The brake was painted with machine enamel paint, so it should last…
Project with the kids – Treehouse with a funky ladder
My son asked if I could build a treehouse for him. I told him that I can as long as we use all leftovers from the garage. I mostly managed to do that but I bought some nicer looking boards for the siding after I realised how visible the treehouse was from the street. I…
Hanging firewood holder
This is a very old project of mine. The construction was finished year and a half ago, but I first painted and mounted it now. I can’t really remember how much time I spent on making it but it’s somewhere around 20 hours. I didn’t have a lot of the tools needed for this (nor…
Rocket Grill – Part 2
I love to make very large pancakes on a traditional cast iron pan from Finland called Muurikka (or Muurinpohjapannu as it is officially called). I got the pan few years back and it came with a large gas heater. This was not good enough, so I decided to design a rocket stove inspired wood burner…
