How and why I started this blog :)
Hi,
a "hacker" living in Kävlinge, Sweden and Sofia, Bulgaria who normally spends most of his time with family, work, riding a Downhill/Road and CX bike, running and practicing Street workout. Between Christmas and NY 2016 bored by the bad and cold weather I was sitting at home watching YT. Then a saw a video about a guy building a CNC and said wow! Almost immediately I run to the local hardware store, bought my first welding machine and 9 days later I had my CNC up and running.
I felt in love with hacking cool home projects and a few days later bought a bench drill, a vice and a band saw and started experimenting even more.
By that time I discovered that the DSLR I got for Christmas was capable of doing great movies and decided to start sharing my progress on the Internet for two reasons: to inspire more people and to start getting feedback on my work :) And here I am almost 2 months later :)
So, this is basically a blog about simple DIY Home Projects that will save money and make life simpler, more practical and fun. Here You will see anything from woodworking, welding, electronics, programming, building furniture, fixing home stuff, life hacks and more.
Enjoy!

Make Drill press and router base for Dremel
In this video tutorial i will show you how to build Drill press and Router base in one single tool. The Dremel 4000 is used in this set up but any other multi-tool can do the job as well.
The drill press/Router base can be attached to a wall and used as a standard drill press or put directly on the material for engraving it or making precise holes in it. If flipped upside down, it can also work as a router table.
The total price spent for the materials in my case is about 5 Euro. No special tools are required for building it, only a drill and a wood saw.

Building a box joint jig for my homemade router table
In the video below i will show you how to easily build a tool to make accurate box joints. These joints are highly popular when making wooden boxes and wooden toys. The base of the tool will be secured to a router table so that it does not move left or right and the top will move left or right on fixed length steps. It is important that the router bit is the same size as the step length.
Total cost of materials is about 7-8 Euro.
