doctor · engineer · climber
Works where medicine meets machinery. Likes CNC projects, electronics and Python scripts, and maintains an ongoing rivalry with gravity.
Two brothers · one barn · questionable amounts of machinery
We build things.
Then we fix them.
A workshop log about CNC machines, electronics, medical-tech detours, old tractors, sharp objects and whatever followed us home from Kleinanzeigen.
Mostly functional.
Occasionally elegant.
Rarely finished.
The people making the mess

aerospace engineer · maker
Aerospace engineer by degree, craftsman by obsession. Makes knives, works wood, builds machines and will probably insist that none of it is rocket science.

Expanding the workshop
The barn was full. The obvious solution was to make the workshop bigger.
read notes →Restauration of an Hardinge HTC
A suspiciously cheap lathe, a broken pulley and another completely rational Kleinanzeigen purchase.
read notes →Prototyping a robotic TMS System
What started as an MD-thesis detour became a robotics, calibration and control problem.
read notes →Quick Way to Check Wi-Fi Signal Strength on Windows (No Extra Tools Needed)
A tiny script for the very specific moment when the Windows Wi-Fi bars are not enough.
read notes →MAHO MH600T LinuxCNC Retrofit
An industrial mill, LinuxCNC, a lot of wiring and an entirely reasonable amount of machine green.
read notes →Setting up the workshop
Turning an old farm garage into a workshop, one cable, workbench and heavy machine at a time.
read notes →Pre Post Cluster Permutation Testing of Coherence in MNE
A very specific statistics problem from an MD thesis, because apparently this is also a workshop.
read notes →Restauration of an Deutz D4006
A 1972 tractor, quarantine time and considerably more than “a little bit of painting”.
read notes →DIY Powerfull 2×72″ Belt Grinder
A student budget, scrap steel and the desire for a proper knife-making belt grinder.
read notes →Building a Linear Hall Effect Sensor Array
A precise, fast and cheap distance sensor. Pick three? Maybe.
read notes →Open source large format CNC-machine and 3D-printer
A school project that escalated into a roughly 200 kg open-source CNC machine.
read notes →Using C# for better grades in art class
When drawing is not your strength, perhaps the correct art tool is edge detection.
read notes →A Blast from the Past: Building an Oxy-Hydrogen Generator
A 2015 project, a welding transformer and the sort of New Year’s idea best remembered with respect.

Replacing a proprietary old controller with an Arduino Nano running grbl.
