Workshop · Est. 2022
Build logs for things that move, think, or catch fire — usually all three. Every video here has a write-up: what it is, how it failed first, and the files to build your own.

My AI co-host was a skull on a shelf with a borrowed voice. This is the build where Little Timmy got a body, a locally-hosted brain, and a butane flame he can actually aim. No cloud, no API keys — the whole stack runs in the shop.
2024
A child's Power Wheels, a machined aluminium skull on a pan-tilt rig, an FPV camera, and a propane effect that I would not describe as OSHA-compliant. Driven entirely over a hobby RC link from the far end of the driveway.

Nacho's old enclosure was criminally small. This one is welded steel, glazed in polycarbonate, with sliding doors on printed nylon runners and a still suit on the roof that keeps the humidity in when the fresh air comes through.
2023
Blasting a group text at people who might be asleep is rude. Projecting my logo onto their ceiling and playing a power chord is, I would argue, considerably more polite. A set of ESP32 beacons that summon the neighbourhood to the garage bar.
2023
Six parts, from the first bad idea to a working ESP-NOW mesh firing propane solenoids in time with music. The series that taught me PCB design, mostly by showing me what happens when you skip it.
2023
A 55-gallon drum inside another 55-gallon drum, plumbed to a hot-water radiator and supervised by a microcontroller that decides when the shop is warm enough. The most watched thing on the channel, and the only build with no write-up here.
