Builder. Experimenter. Problem solver.

I build practical things and odd things — sometimes both at once. This is my corner of the internet for projects, notes, and whatever I’m testing lately.

About

I build things, break things, and write down what I learn. I like systems that feel real — workshop builds, field experiments, and software when it helps.

Based in the UK. Usually covered in sawdust or tabs.

Now

Current focus: finishing the ride-on conversion and writing up a few completed builds.

Current project

One thing I’m actively building right now.

Selected projects

Completed builds + experiments. More write-ups coming.

A modified shopping trolley turned into a drift cart in a car park

Shopping Trolley Drift Cart

A motorised drift trolley build — silly, fast enough, and surprisingly stable once dialled in.

Experiment Completed
An outdoor antenna mounted near a window at night

FM Emergency Broadcaster (≈7-mile range)

Built from a car FM transmitter and upgraded into a longer-range local broadcast experiment for emergency-style messaging.

Radio Completed
A flame thrower project photo

Flame Thrower Build

A finished build project — one of those ‘because I can’ experiments, documented with care and restraint.

Build Completed

Writing & ideas

Short notes, longer posts, and the occasional rant about glue.
