Just a guy with a computer, a soldering iron, lots of tools, and the urge to tinker. (And fly airplanes)

My resin printer is giving me a good chances to work on my airbrush skills. These are new magnets for my whiteboards. https://t.co/W8q4d0iy2q

This gift was a hit with the kids. It’s a Retropie arcade emulator. It has hundreds of arcade and old console games in one device. The arcade joysticks and buttons are super satisfying. https://t.co/eQDccmVUk6

Merry Christmas! These were keys from the piano my wife learned to play on. The piano became firewood and these were about so that was worth saving. This gift earned me tears. https://t.co/qZfWFWLfNe

It is finished! I’ve owed my son lights in his Milennium Falcon for close to a year. It’s brighter than the pictures show. I’m especially proud of the sliding cockpit switch. https://t.co/9IbqrCv27T

The keyboard works. The firmware was rough to get working and doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles running yet. Next step - finish 3D modelling the case. (And drink the coffee.) https://t.co/GJMO7QGPyZ

It begins.

A 3D printed hot tub filter. The original is unobtainuim so for less than $10 I can save somebody hundreds. I like this hobby. https://t.co/x8lMAqDitY

Hey look! More soldering! https://t.co/t3dhZmW4dQ

I think I just robbed Nicole of her new washing machine (at least in her mind). That quarter was stuck in the drain pump. Look how worn down it is (compared to a new one). https://t.co/aIhUn8dkcx

Ironic? Just a bit. https://t.co/67a6l03ruC

The right half of my keyboard plate is printed out. The keycaps are just randomly placed - but maybe this could be my Corvid -19 board. I would never have to share. Next I solder - a lot. https://t.co/Vf3r2qw20c

A leather can wrap. This one has been on the to do list for a while. I built this one old style - late at night, with nobody to bother me in my shop. https://t.co/MVHavMg8A0

My custom video editing shuttle wheel is done! It makes the process much faster plus I can program tons of different macros to the keys. The hardware is complete but the Arduino code will constantly be updated. https://t.co/XjfkbVUk5c
