A fully custom turntable built from scratch — hand-wound motor, from-scratch PCB motor controller with custom firmware, and all mechanical parts machined on the lathe.
A deployment mechanism for a solar sail demonstrator, launched to 30km altitude on a high-altitude balloon. Custom-machined titanium and 3D-printed carbon-fibre composite structure.
Scratch-built brushless DC motor controller for the turntable project. Custom 4-layer PCB, gate driver design, and closed-loop speed control firmware — completely from scratch.
Custom-modded Stryfe and SPAMF foam blasters appeared on set of Netflix's Back In Action. Precision-machined aluminium internals, 3D-printed performance upgrades.
A novel catch mechanism for foam blasters inspired by ball-bearing detents. Fully original design — animated in CAD, machined, then prototyped. Also shown: a fountain pen design from the same period.
Custom watch with all metal parts machined from stainless steel — bezel polished to a mirror finish. Alongside: aluminium blaster stock, adjustable-length foregrip rail, and a hand-ground fly cutter.
BUILDING THINGS SINCE I WAS A KID —
NOW THEY FLY AT 30KM.
I've been building and modding things since I was a kid — starting with foam blasters and working up to lathes, mills, custom PCBs, and mechanisms that have appeared on Netflix and flown on high-altitude balloons. I document everything on Instagram. If you want to commission something or just talk about a build, get in touch.
