Jack of all trades, master of none. I document my budget DIY projects that hopefully interest you as well. My projects involve rocket stoves, air rifles, computers, woodworking and 3D printing.
Channel for those who are just looking for ideas what their next project will be or that prefer to watch others work rather than do it themselves ;)
Always trying to find middle ground and what makes sense to me. Somewhere in between a maker, prepper and seeker of financial independence.

Don't Feel Like Spending $100? - DIY Guitar Stand
I needed a stand for my guitar and I wanted it to be made from wood. The ones I found online were too expensive, so I made my own out of a few dollars of plywood. I designed it so that it can be put together without screws and glue. It's super easy to assemble and disassemble.

Time To Upgrade My Avenger
Переглядів 10 тис.11 місяців тому
I love my Air Venturi Avenger, but there a few things that could be improved such as the ability to attach a moderator and an adjustable stock. Those issues are addressed in the new Air Venturi Avenge-X. However I already have an Avenger, so I would like to fix those issues myself by upgrading the Avenger instead with a DonnyFL adapter and a Buck Rail stock.

I've been wanting to make a door for my rocket stove to control the primary and secondary air and find out what difference it makes.

Don't Underestimate The Power Of PCP Air Rifles
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
With my Air Venturi Avenger being so accurate, I need some better targets. I also want to make them a little more interesting than the reset targets I already have. I love the visual and audible feedback they provide, but I'd also like to see where I missed when I do.
One Zero For All .22 LR And .22 Airguns
Переглядів 13 тис.2 роки тому
I want to shoot all kinds of .22 and wondered if there's a common distance to zero them at. I couldn't find the answer so I figured it out myself. I mostly used shooterscalculator.com for the graphs and got some data for the ballistic coefficients from manufacturer websites.
Hand Pumping My First PCP - Air Venturi Avenger .22
Переглядів 55 тис.2 роки тому
After struggling with a cheap break barrel for years I finally got myself a PCP air rifle. For a long time the costs involved with PCP held me back. The adjustable (good) ones were all over $500 and the pumps $150 or compressors $500 . The Avenger changes all that, together with a $50 hand pump. To tune it for hand pumping and shooting lighter pellets I'm mostly following the review and tuning ...

No Welding, No Casting - DIY Rocket Stove
Переглядів 83 тис.3 роки тому
I'm trying a different approach to building a Rocket Stove as compared to most of the builds you find on UA-cam. Instead of welding metal pipes or casting refractory cement I built it out of vermiculite board.

DIYer's Opinion On Which Framework Laptop To Buy
Переглядів 2,2 тис.3 роки тому
I go through the considerations of which parts to buy for my Framework laptop while trying to keep the price as low as I can. PSA: In the video I say I'm getting Crucial Ballistix CL16 RAM, but as pointed out in the pinned comment this is through XMP and the Framework laptop won't support that. Stick to DDR4-3200 that runs on 1.2V and natively supports 3200 MHz without XMP.
