I was too cheap to buy a new chip collector, and I didn’t like the fact that I would need to use two hands to release the chips. As I had some leftover neodymium magnets from an old project, I decided that I’ll spend my Saturday night to design one that would fit my needs….
Riot Mamas – logo
My brother and his wife has a band called “Riot Mamas”. Me and my family were going to visit them and I decided to make a little gift to take with: a giant fridge magnet! A simple two colour design with embedded magnets.
Trike Trailer
My kids were always arguing about who is allowed to ride the small trike on my backyard, so I decided to make a trailer with a seat for it. Time spent was three evenings, couple hours each + painting. The cost of materials is unknown as I only used whatever I found from the garage;…
3D printed padlock
This was created for my kids to play with, but in reality it was more of a design challenge than anything else. The lock is “fully functional” in the sense that it can only be opened with the key that belongs to it. The only hardware you need is a spring from a pen, all…
Outdoor bench with forged legs
This is a project which spans across 4 generations. The frame was forged by my grandfather who was a blacksmith in the 1950s. It’s made out of spring steel and I’m planning to keep it exactly as it is as even the paint is original. The boards are Siberian Larch which is naturally rot resistant….
WD40 can holder
Yesterday I had the final straw when I was going to clean my welding table and the damn WD-40 can was nowhere to be found again. I went back to the house and after an hour this contraption had been designed. It took 13 hours to print and now hopefully I remember to put the…
Quick release breadboard base for Arduino Uno
I got tired of the jumpers always coming loose when packing away my projects, so I designed a magnetic breadboard base with a quick release for the Arduino. No need to fool around with screws, the board is held in place with small magnets, and the whole base can be attached to a subframe which…
Wireless phone charger
Do you have a habit of placing your phone on front of your keyboard while you work? Are you annoyed that the facial recognition doesn’t recognise you due to the too shallow angle? Well, this is the fix. The wireless charging module is taken from Ikea Livboj. Plug-n-play with a requirement of gluing three parts.
Jewellery Box
This is a jewelry box I created which features a flower I used for a pencil case earlier. A fantastic gift for family and friends. The box uses magnets as hinges and the flower is glued on to the lid. This version is meant for stud earrings and has a fine grid separator inside.
Fence Extension
We had a gap between our fence and hedge which became a problem when our 1.5 years old daughter figured out that she can fit through it. I spent an afternoon in the workshop to manufacture a bolt-on extension for it. I drilled holes, which I threaded, on the fence post so the extension can…
