New Episode online - Blacksmith's Vise Restoration
Hey guys!Sorry for the long break. A new video is online and two other videos will follow quite soon. I found a new great source for stuff to fix in videos and I also found a lot of new inspiration there and with a place that I'm helping to build for friends at the moment. This is the first of t...
Update Video now on Youtube
Hey guys I just uploaded an update-video on Youtube. As you know, I tried to upload these videos on vid.me and Facebook, but vid.me is going out of business. So long story short: The update videos are back on youtube. Cheers, Gerolf
More Retro Conversions!
Another new idea for old stuff.
SNES + LCD Monitors
After a horrible week, (first a bad cold and now a salmonella infection) I'm glad to present a new video. Enjoy!
Retro-TV + Raspberry Pi = Awesome
Here in Cologne I have been able to get my hands on a couple of old TVs and monitors for next to nothing. So I tried to somehow reuse them and this is what I came up with so far. Enjoy!
Yamaha Receiver
I worked on two different projects this week. Since the first of the two hasn't delivered sufficient results yet, I focused on this receiver for the last two days.Enjoy!
TPAI Lab Report # 015
Just some updates before I go to Cologne...
Part 3 - Bluetooth Hack!
The final part of this series is now out! Again a huge "Thank you!" to all the supporters who have given me new hope since my last video was aired. You guys are the best!
Some important news.
I actually wanted to finish the third part of my little video series about the "Line-In / Bluetooth-Hack" today, but I just can't manage to focus on anything, because there are so many doubts and worries in my head right now. So I went outside for a hike to calm down and I spontaneously ...
And here is part 2!
Part 2 of my little series about the Line-In and Bluetooth-Hack for old stereo systems.
At it again...
And here is another oldie that is now ready for the 21st century. A second video about this will go online tomorrow. Enjoy!
Some upgrades for the DIY projector
Hey guys. I had to re-upload this video because there was an issue with the first version. I hope that none of you were confused by getting a YT-annotation and finding NO video on my channel. Enjoy!
desperate measures for desperate times
A stupid little story about something that happened to me recently.
Enjoy the Nostalgia
It has only been five years since I build my first device of this type, but it already feels like it has been an eternity and it almost makes me feel nostalgic. And speaking of nostalgia: In my experience there is no better way of enjoying old movies and documentaries than two watch them on an overh...
Swedish Steel!
For many months I have been dreaming about a car that would be big enough and powerful enough to help me transport large things and pull a trailer.Of course I need that for many of my projects, but it would also make it much easier for me to move away, should I eventually find a better location. So ...
Vintage Glory!
The last few days have been extremely eventful.My home security upgrades are nearly completed and the places looks like a fortress now...still not sure if I really should show it to the world. So there is a lot of footage that I probably can't show without compromising my own efforts to secure t...
Teardown of an IP cam cheapo
So Sunday is nearly over, but at least the video got finished.Sorry that I haven't yet replied to all of your comments on my last Patreon post (about the new logo), but I will do so soon.
Tell me your opinion: New logo and some other possible changes
(The spelling in this draft of the new logo is off. "Apocalpytic" :D. But no problem, I have corrected the file on my pc already.)Hey guys. An incredibly hard week lies behind me and I'm totally exhausted.I couldn't finish a video today, but I'm planning to upload one tomorrow. I...
IP Cameras. A Security Risk?
This week has been unbelievably exhausting. In order to improve the security situation around the workshop I have spent a lot of time online, researching the advantages, but also the potential dangers of IP-cameras. Along the way I had to wrestle with annoying software bugs and the terrible customer...
Getting Paranoid?! Burglars in the Neighborhood!
Hey guys. This week has been very challenging as I tried to secure my house at least a little bit against burglars, that are known to operate in this area.
The Old Mercedes - What a Pitty
I felt a lot like Arnie Cunnigham today, when he was sitting in his '58 Plymouth Fury for the first time ( in the 1983 John Carpenter movie "Christine"). It's sad but true that it would actually take super-natural powers(, like a demon possession) to bring this old Mercedes-Benz 280 ...
