Buying a house? Completed it mate! Few months ag

Buying a house? Completed it mate!
Few months ago we thought we’d had the rug pulled out from under us as our landlord wanted to sell. The home we’d made (not to mention my workshop) that we eventually wanted to buy was in a perfect location and somewhere we could happily spend the rest of our lives.
Thanks to some hard work by my lovely wife and help from family we’ve managed to convince the bank we’re responsible people (I know right? 😂) and get a mortgage.
Today it’s all ours along with the security that comes with not renting and we’re already pondering all the things we can do to it.
(And yes, workshop expansion is on the list there somewhere)

After an amazing weekend at @makerscentral I spent

After an amazing weekend at @makerscentral I spent a crazy fun day with this bunch feeling totally out of place and the odd one out with my little YT channel.
Then after getting to know them all, perhaps bonding over near death experiences at @realcolinfurze workshop I realised we are all the odd ones and they are just simply amazingly nice people 🥰
Thanks again to Colin and your misses for hosting, the workshop and tunnel tour as well as playing with the cool toys and thanks to everyone for making feel like part of the fam especially @xrobotsuk for bringing me 😎

Has been an absolute pleasure to see lots of frien

Has been an absolute pleasure to see lots of friends old and new at @makerscentral this weekend! 🥰 apologies if I didn’t get a chance to see anybody!
Also massive thanks to the @vectricltd team for having me on their stand and all the love they give out to the maker community. It’s been fun chatting to people there all weekend about CNCs and playing with the @onefinitycnc machine. (Though it did feel like cheating on my lovely @ooznest workbee but you know, different postcode….)

On the @vectricltd stand today at @makerscentral ready to meet anybody who wants to talk about their amazing software or about how a CNC machine just fits into my workshop and making.

Day 12 of May for Makers “Favourite Part” He

Day 12 of May for Makers “Favourite Part”
Hehe. I'll behave 😉
My favourite projects are ones that combine woodworking with electronics and the "brains" of most of them is an arduino specifically an ESP8266. These tiny modules are cheap (as little as £2), have enough pins for most things you want to connect and even have onboard wifi!
Coding on them is just like any normal Arduino and 32kb of memory is more than enough for simple projects so whatever you can think of, you can connect to wifi. Pot plants, cat flaps, toasters, pillows you name it….
ESP8266 ALL THE THINGS!

Day 11 of May for Makers “Happy Accident”
I made about 12 hexagon shaped bug hotels from recycled materials (mostly from my daughters old bed and pallet wood) but when you add up the time it takes to make them, you are looking at a price of £30 each if you want to make any kind of money so unsurprisingly these have never sold well at craft fairs.
But…wait… whats this? They are just about the right size for an automata I'm currently working on and potentially could be used for others!
Nice shape, recycled materials and a big open part so you can see the mechanism.
Score!
