Got Hackerspace?

Yep. I have recently joined a Hackerspace.
The “Hackerspace Bielefeld” to be more precise.

And everybody is busy getting the Site more up to date, getting the space more comfortable etc.

Feel free to to check it out.

And don’t worry^^ We speak english too.

Well speaking for myself… ;D

Quick and easy hack: Part 3

Ever realized that you just don’t have enough room on your desk?

Just add a curtain rail hook to your desk to hang all the devices you want.

Now my glue gun is always on standby ;D

Cane and able

I wanted to post this a long time ago but I had forgotten to take pictures.

I was asked by my friend Dennis if I could help him out with a cane he had bought online.

He had a “small” problem…

The cane was only 1 meter long.
Dennis is 2 meters tall.
This made the cane at least 25 centimeters too short for him.

So here is what I did.

First I got a foldable walking stick from the thrift shop that I could unscrew.

I then used the segment that had the same diameter to extend the cane.
I also painted the cane in a glossy black.

I also painted the handle with a bronze paint to make it a little more unique.

And there you have it. A large cane for a tall man.

Another quick and easy hack.

What do you get in five minutes when you combine

this broken lighter….

with this metal weight….

and this clamp….

using strong hot glue?

How about a helping hand?

And creativity marches on…

I am usually not the one to loose my calm.

But THIS makes me angry.

Nice sound

Now that they are finally finished, I decided to give my remapped speakers a test run.

The result sounds quite good

Just a quick and easy hack

People who visit keep asking me.
“Hey, is that a keybox?”

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

TOOL TIME

I recently got this pre drilled wood surface from work that was going to end in the trash.

I thought “Why not make a pegboard out of it for my tools?”

And so it began…

This should do the Trick…

One of four ;)

The damage around the edge won’t be visible later.

When in doubt go for the heavy duty ones.

Nice to know without measuring how deep to drill.

Target acquired…

Tape makes multitasking easy ;)

My silent assistant :D

Hole number 2

Won’t push in. Well I guess….

….IT’S HAMMERTIME ;D

Tighten the last bolt…

Clean up the surface…

Almost there…

BEHOLD

Note to self:
“Buy more pegs.”

Amazing guitar skills

It’s been a while that I have added anything under the category music.
But this YouTube video is so amazing that I just had to add it.

The guitar mans name is Mariusz Goli from Katowice in Poland and he is CRAZY FAST.

Check it out.

Thanks to my Friend Jens Arendt for finding this.

More speaker upgrades

I recently added the finishing touches to my Speakers by placing fabric over the wires and soldering some neat looking plugs to it.
