Enjoy, Share & Engage!!!

I am a professional “maker” located in Wirksworth, Derbyshire, UK and am passionate about all types of engineering, mechanical, electronic and software.  The maker movement is great demonstration of the benefits of sharing and exploring ideas openly, enabling both the projects and the people to reach their full potential.  To give back to the community and further empower the free culture and maker movement, I develop all my projects freely and openly, for all to enjoy, share and engage with… 🙂

Rise and Shine LED Clock

Please read on to find out more about my soon to launch Kickstarter campaign.
