It's 2026!!
Hello!!! Blwyddyn Newydd Dda to those Welshies and Happy New Year to the rest!!!
I've been soooo busy over the Christmas period, so I just wanted to pop in at the start of the year to say a huge thank you for being here — and I couldn't resist giving you a little peek at what I’ve been quietly (and not so quietly) building behind the scenes!
There are so many exciting things I'm not even going to cover them all, but I might give you a sneak peak in this photos!
Lots of deep-dive maker builds, smart systems that make life easier (and cooler), and LOADS more genuinely useful, exclusive stuff just for you.
Just a sneak peek of some of the things:
A dedicated member's area — there's so much stuff that I and others share now, it's actually hard to keep track of it all. It's an amazing community, so I want to make sure everyone has access to the latest and greatest approaches to different solutions
New generators, tools, and systems - I've been coding away over the Christmas period on all the little niggly things that can make a huge difference to people. I want to really tackle those entry barriers to new crafts and skills. I truly believe everyone can now be a coder, an electronics tinkerer, a woodworker, a 3d printerist (we haven't invented the term for that yet!) and all the other hobbies. I have ways of making you craft...... <ominous tone>
Advanced maker projects, I want to lower the entry bar for everyone, so expect lots of projects and tools including jigs, fixtures, and clever workflows you can steal!
Smart home + automation experiments that blur the line between 'home' and 'sci-fi spaceship'
Early access, exclusives, and deep dives so I can share all the extra projects I'm working on and extra details on those that I've shared
And some big, ambitious projects I’ve been itching to make for ages — the sort that only make sense because this community exists
So I want to create a space that is going to feel even more like a private workshop, lab notebook, and idea vault this year.
Thank you for backing this, believing in it, and letting me go full mad-scientist with a camera. I genuinely couldn’t do it without you — and I’m so excited about what we’re building together this year.
So thank you all the nerds who help me code and tackle problems, thank you to the creatives who inspire me with all the silly 'why didn't I think about that', the engineers, the crafters, the amazing people with amazing careers and even the silly folk who just make me laugh (especially when I'm trying the 100th approach to solving that maker problem and about to scream) - and thank you even if you just like watching my mad antics and have no intention of ever crafting anything yourself........ but know that I will break you eventually..... :)
Here’s to making cool things, breaking a few along the way, and having a lot of fun doing it
Dymuniadau gorau ar gyfer y Flwyddyn Newydd
