What’s

Greenhouse build. This features laying foundations, bricklaying, paving etc. ready for the installation of a Swallow greenhouse. I am new to bricklaying so this is a bit of a voyage of discovery! You’re never too old to learn!

Electric fence. After a violent attack on the lawn by an army of badgers, I needed some sort of deterrent.

Tow hitch for an Atco ride on mower. I also moan about the general quality of this piece of equipment.

Controlling individual radiators with an Adafruit Feather. This is an ongoing project (that is it’s not finished!)

I compare a Screwfix brushless drill with a previous brushed version.

Laying a Karndean Palio Clic floor. This stuff is not cheap but is high quality and looks good (IMHO).

Monitoring and control system for the new greenhouse. This is a work in progress but the aim is to do things like detect soil drying and provide the optimum amount of watering.

“Digital” Crookes Radiometer. Measures incident solar radiation (probably!)

Wind speed and direction monitor. Part of my weather station project.

New knobs for old - TR7 heater control upgrade.

Dampness monitoring thgamajig.

Balco 3-D printer. I don’t know anything about 3-D printers, so this will be a voyage of discovery!

My first (proper) 3-D printing project! (It’s a rev counter for my tiny metal lathe.)

Cat assists with digital gauge for measuring water pressure.

Led lighting panels for brightening up the hall.

Rpi camera with pan/tilt interfaced with an Adafruit Feather.

Pektron unit for TR7 revealed!

More Pektron! This time the low coolant warning unit.

PoMo bird wind vane

Remote-controlled greenhouse lighting system

Simple audio mixer.

Rpi case, USB hard drive holder & VESA mount.

3D-printed stuff so far

Shocking treatment! Old electrical therapy machines.

Old tech - some quite recent!
