I needed a firewood holder so I don’t need to place the wood on the ground. My rocket grill works best with rather small pieces of wood, so the size of the holder is reflecting that. I used mild steel for it and finished the build in ~3 hours. The metal twister is my own…
Project with the kids – Dinosaur
My son came to me and said that he wants to build a dinosaur. I told him that then he has to design one and this was the result. He even described the mechanism to move the jaw; “a metal bar through the side so it can move up an down”. Then he also learned…
Simple fire poker
My new rocket grill needed something to push the firewood down into the chute. This simple thing was created in 20 minutes! The twisted bar was one of the test pieces when I was building my metal twister. The handle is from my cherrytree. You can find the Rocket Grill build log here: https://silfer.works/rocket-grill/
Stand for an extra ball for a CST trackball
I have an extra ball for my CST trackball on my desk, and I decided to design a nice 3D printed stand for it. It uses a standard skateboard bearing and you can make the ball spin for a very long time (and by that annoy your colleagues endlessly). You can find the files for…
Magnetic Leatherman Surge bit holder
I got tired of the Leatherman bits, and decided to design a suitable holder for standard sized bits. Requires 8x 6mm wide and 3mm thick magnets.
The Cat Caller
We have two cats who like to go explore outside but are still living with us in the house. We used to use a plastic container filled with cat treats to call them back inside, until I remembered that I’m a specialist on designing useless objects for 3D printing. That’s when the Cat Caller was…
Huge standard screwcap
One of my old colleagues was changing jobs, so I decided to create a farewell gift for him. For some reason he always use a bottle screwcap as the unit of measurement for his alcoholic drinks. I made him a new “standard screwcap” he can use. Låg = screwcap in Danish. You can find the…
Aircon remote holder for the workshop
I always use the timer on the aircon unit in my workshop. I also always lose the remote when I want to activate the timer and spend a lot of time trying to find where I placed it. This remote holder has an opening for the sliding cover. It means that you can push the…
Project with the kids – Man of Steel
My son wanted a metal man. I took that as a challenge and an excellent opportunity for practising some small scale TIG welding. The man has an interchangeable hat/helmet, and I even added a custom 3D printed magnetic sword. It was a perfect partner for a wooden dinosaur we made together some time later.
Kittenproof subwoofer
Our family got two very small new members. As it usually goes with little kids, you start realising that a lot of things in your house are dangerous for them. I realised that I had an incredible deathtrap right next to our TV; the subwoofer. The kittens could climb inside through the hole on the…
