Project of the month

3D Printing

Rebuilding a Voron 2.4 in a week

A photo-heavy write-up of pulling apart a working V2 and refactoring it end-to-end for quieter operation and a bigger build volume.
Hobby Electronics

Hot-swap split keyboard in a week

Building a 5-column split from a bare PCB, QMK firmware walkthrough, and why I ditched Bluetooth for USB-C.
Jewellery

Brass-and-silver signet ring from scratch

From a sheet of sterling and a brass blank to a finished signet ring, documented in 42 photos and a short film.
CNC

Sliding dovetail drawer bank, CNC + hand-fit

Twelve drawers of oak, all held together by CNC-cut sliding dovetails. No metal slides, no fasteners in the joinery.
Hobby Electronics

ESP32 LoRa weather station for the allotment

Solar-powered, deep-sleep ESP32 + LoRa node that logs to an MQTT broker at the house 800m away. Battery lasts a full season.
