I learn best by building things with my own hands. After working in R&D the bicycle industry I became a professional jeweler (which means I get to play with fire and dangerous chemicals!) I make movie props, animatronics and costumes for fun. Many of my projects have complete build tutorials on Instructables and Hackaday and have been featured on Sparkfun, Adafruit and Hackaday.

I previously ran diyanimatronics.com but that has now been closed as I no longer have the time to maintain it and/or work on projects for other people and I am no longer accepting animatronics/costume/prop commissions.

Hopefully you find some of the videos helpful, inspiring or at least entertaining!
