About

Hi, I’m Garry.

This blog started out as a place to share the notes and photos of my tinkering, experiments, wood-and-metal projects, electronics bodges, and other bits and pieces I’ve been working on.

I don’t claim to be a polished professional, I am just a hobbyist who tries things and then blog about the result.

Why I do it

I’m curious. I like to take something ordinary (or even slightly broken) and turn it around to something new or unexpected. Because the satisfaction of seeing a finished project.

The blog also keeps me motivated. I like to think it might inspire others to try something new, or at least make for an interesting read.

What you’ll find here

• Arduino, ESP32 & electronics
