Another amp rack design

Following a commission from Tim Newman http://vibrafuzzfamily.wordpress.com/ and his request of high gloss panels for the top and bottom of the racks, I have recently completed these four racks. Don't they look good?!

eBikes in Snowdonia & Beics Ogwen

Image
For the summer of 2021 I worked with Partneriaeth Ogwen to build eBikes. Find more information use the links below. https://www.ogwen.wales/en/community-projects/beics-ogwen/ https://www.partneriaethogwen.cymru/en/dyffryn-gwyrdd/transport/ I've since created my own project. Now trained in cycle mechanics with Dewi at CycleWales, Llangefni, and running my own servicing, build and ebike conversion workshop. https://www.facebook.com/ebeicseryri/

Reciprocal Frame Roof Model

Image
This is a project I'm working on for the development of a new kitchen and storage space as part of the developing business Menter Pandy, North Wales. Following the construction of a reciprocal framed roof building five years ago, there's been a decision to create a theme according to the design and build another one. Here's the original building which I only helped with a little:   The original design (not done by myself!) unfortunately proved to be very unsafe. The lateral forces of the roof timbers were so great they slowly slid down the supporting posts and also pushed them outwards, such that the walls were no longer upright. Remedial works involving the construction of new posts inward from the originals, tensioning wires fixed at the base of each of the five roof beams (taking the lateral force in an interesting pentagram shape), and fixing bolts tying the roof beams to the wall plates proved effective in fixing the problems.

Hacking a Fridge-Freezer

Image
A wdf30k-921-029-ex thermostat failed on an otherwise usefull fridge freezer. I've used some high-tech home-automation techniques here to see what I can do to control the fridge by other means... The fridge is a Hotpoint, Bosch or something I can't actually tell because the label's been rubbed off. Hardware I used: - emonBase (Raspberry Pi 3B+) with server running, I'm using emonCMS from OpenEnergyMonitor.org and fitted it with a RFM2Pi module fitted to the rP 3B+. - WiFi Smartplug. I'm using a Sonoff S20 flashed with the Tasmota firmware. - emonTH with 433Mhz radio.   How it works: the emonTH sends temperature data from the fridge to the emonBase via radio, the data is stored in emonCMS. The emonBase runs node-red also, and this is the home-automation software which has a 'flow' I designed which sends MQTT data to the Sonoff smartplug. The above node-red 'flow' uses the emoncms node. Alternatively I could've used an http GET request ...
