Welcome

This site features a curated collection of projects and topics that I found interesting to develop or explore in depth.

The common denominator is simple: Do It Yourself. Be creative. Don’t give up. In the end, it works — and you understand how.

For me, it’s a challenge to create visually appealing objects using a 3D printer, or to design wooden products produced on a laser cutter. Sometimes this even involves developing additional tools or modifications for the machines themselves. A good example is laser cutting without using the standard bed, allowing the object to “float” to reduce burn marks.

It also means finding the right development tools for 3D design, selecting the best plugins, and choosing suitable libraries for software development. I share my experiences here — they may serve as useful reference material for others. For me, it has certainly been a continuous learning journey.



Design:
In electronics, a solution can be implemented digitally, with or without a CPU and software, or in analog form, or as a hybrid of both. The right choice depends on many factors.

The most enjoyable part of design is defining the big picture and making the major decisions about the direction to follow. Sometimes we make “happy accidents” (as Bob Ross would say) and start over — but experience makes that process increasingly effective over time. The best design tools? Pencil, paper, and eraser. Not old-fashioned, just smart and efficient.

Several of my designs are documented and shared on this site.



Cooking:
For my own reference, I’ve added several recipes — useful during extended stays at campsites or simply to share them easily with others.
