Maker Faire 2016

Here is my walkthrough video of the Maker Faire that was held in Newcastle England.

It was a brilliant day. Found the Life Centre really easy and the parking was directly across the road from the event.

I met a Borg and my wife had a conversation with  a Dalek. As is always with these events I came away with lots of ideas for projects and it was a good idea that I didn't go with a ton of money or it would have been spent on the myriad of products that where on sale.

The video doesn't show everything that was there on the day but it will give you a pretty good idea as to what was on offer on the day, including a brilliant act called  'Lords of Lightning' which literally electrified Time square

Cant wait till the next one.

Marble Lifter using an Archimedes' screw

A prototype of a marble lifter I have built using the principles of the Archimedes' screw to move the marbles up to the upper level.
Its a bit rough and ready but a good morning experimenting.

Adam Savage's 10 Commandments of Making

I love this guy, he inspires me and thought this was worth sharing

Derby Mini Maker Faire 2013

Here are some short snippets of video i shot at the Derby Mini Maker Faire 23rd November 2013

It was different to last years event. The building was newly refurbished and looked in cracking condition. Lots more stalls and an abundance or Raspberry Pi to be had for all the RP fans.

Given me inspiration to go to the main maker faire in Derby next year.
