Start Date: 28/06/26  ·  Last Edited: 28/06/26  ·  Status: Finished

How I set up an Obsidian vault that files itself using Karpathy's LLM-Wiki pattern and Claude Code. One evening of setup — a knowledge base that compounds rather than piles.

Robot Dog Butler

Start Date: 28/02/26  ·  Last Edited: 23/05/26 ·  Status: Ongoing

My daughter really wants a dog, so we settled on a robot dog (called Cedric, named by my daughter). I thought it would be cool to make it useful, so we'll attached a steward platform to the top, and make it carry drinks.

Start Date: 02/02/26  ·  Last Edited: 03/04/26 ·  Status: Ongoing

I really want to have an old school scrolling display in my room. I kinda want it to have the time, temperature outside, etc., but also show me when and who is the next rocket launch. So, this is my design of such a thing.

Making an Enclosure for 3D Printer

Start Date: 02/02/26  ·  Last Edited: 20/03/26  ·  Status: Ongoing

I recently bought a new 3D printer (retiring my old homemade one!). I wanted an enclosure to stop accidental touches (from 3 year old hands!) and also extract fumes from plastics like PETG. This is my build process, documented.

DIY One Wheel

Start Date: 31/07/2022  ·  Last Edited: 24/06/26  ·  Status: Ongoing

A self balancing electric skateboard. Superseded by the Robot Dog Butler — which requires a custom BLDC driver with torque control that the VESC doesn't support, making a custom motor driver necessary anyway.
