Joining the OPA to fight for belters rights? Searching for missing persons on the Scapuli? Whatever your reason for crossing the black to Ceres, make sure you’ve got your New Yen.

Stereo High-Low Amplifier

Sun, 13 Aug 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Passive amplification is amazing for what it can do to the audio from a tinny little speaker.

Pegboard Rack

Mon, 24 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Necessity is the mother of invention; and I wouldn’t have invented this if my son didn’t feel it was necessary to break the box these came in.

Decades ago, in a world where Sears was still around, existed the greatest screwdriver of all time.

Laser Cutter

Sat, 24 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve been looking for a laser cutter for years, I couldn’t find a way to justify it the way I did my 3D printer, but I wanted it just the same.

Printrbot Spool Holder

Creeper

Performing a water change and end up missing fish? Me either, and here’s how I’m going to keep it that way.

Aquarium Intake

Sun, 13 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0000

So just picked up some new fish, some skinny little Kuhli Loaches (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuhli_loach), and two of them got sucked up into the filter on the first day!

Heat Bed Cable Chain

Mon, 07 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Once you get a 3D printer, the first thing you want to do is to start designing. And since the last thing you built was a 3D printer, you start designing for it.

Router Base Replacement

Sun, 16 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve had this router for years and it only gets occasional use but the last time I went to use it the base broke! Having just dropped a bundle on a 3D printer, I didn’t feel like replacing a router.

Vacuum Tube Stands

Sun, 09 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For years I’ve had several vacuum tubes that I scavenged from my Grandfather’s basement. However, they were pretty unsteady when trying to stand them up in a display case.

Garage Remote Holder

Sat, 08 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Not as cute and cuddly as a companion cube, but far more practical. That is, if you happen to have a Glidermatic GTS garage door opener…

Printrbot Heat Bed Cable Chain

Wed, 05 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The Printrbot heated bed doesn’t have a decent cable management system so here’s a cable chain that feeds lines from under the printrbot to the heated bed.

Printrbot Feet

Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000

A remix of an existing design on Thingiverse, this is my first foray into the world of 3D Printing.

3D Printing 101

Tue, 23 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0000

3D Printing sounds amazing, but what is it really good for? To answer this question, I of course needed a printer.

Lean Home Improvement

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Last year after reading the fabulous Lean Startup by Eric Reis, I started to adopt concepts of lean and batch size to my home improvement projects. I realize by saying that, I’ve established myself as an uber-geek in at least three categories.
