I drive an old Isuzu and to engage the 4x4 I have to manually lock the free-wheeling hubs and I don’t have a spanner… So I made one DIY! My design criteria were that it needed to be small enough to fit neatly behind the seat and made up of scraps from old projects. intended to make a quick tool and a video about the fabrication using an hour of my time. I rushed it so much I forgot to film in landscape mode. Luckily IGTV exists, and my friends watching this.

In this video, I set out to make a quick DIY wire trying tool as a gift for a friend of mine and I wanted to have a HOW TO video that would show him how to use it. I have cleaned up and organized my workshop (and dirtied it again) which has made it easier to do some quick little projects. I recently bought a small MIG welder and have been looking for any excuse to play with it and I have found it a lot of fun to make these simple tools. I have made a few for friends already and each time I do it a little bit differently.

In this video, I am brewing on the concept of “Paying it Forward”. In my context, it is a form of collaboration without any preconceived outcomes. I want to help where I can and sometimes I need help from those who can. I don’t think asking for assistance is a sign of weakness. For me, it has been a powerful way of building community. Don’t be afraid to ask…or you will NEVER know!

Wood is a beautiful material to be a master of. From my experience, it takes time and practice to begin to understand how it works. Making something as simple as a picture frame is always a fun way to test out your patience and get some good practice hours in. I sourced the wood for this build from an old Macadamia tree which was pruned back. There were some decent size potions that could be salvaged. I used my chainsaw to roughly cut a rectangular log. I then used my table saw to rip planks. I gave them 5 months to dry and have now turned them into a picture from. The final corner of a frame is where the error of your cuts show its face. Do everything in your power to make sure you don’t get a shock and be precise with your cuts. There are lots of jigs that can be made for the specific purpose of making frames but unless you plan on making them regularly I find it pretty rewarding going through some struggles.

A PURE SOUTH AFRICAN EXPERIENCE in post-Apartheid South Africa. imagine what is possible, create that opportunity, change a life….or yours. A task as routine as air travel, taken for granted by many people, could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience to someone else… Perhaps you have no need or desire to travel. Or perhaps you do. But wouldn’t it be nice to have the option. To have the opportunity to experience something you may never otherwise have experienced. Isn’t it also incredible to have the opportunity to create that opportunity for someone else?

Jess Jess is an incredible beast. She has gone around the world 8.4 times traveling 335000 km. We have been together for 15 years and this car has been a unique identifier for who I am. Letting go has been a fun process and she will be remembered for her services.

In this video, I am attempting to create some B-Roll style shots around the office. I have not spent much time trying to improve my own B-roll sequences so I have decided to get practicing. Instead of learning while doing in my content videos, I am going to start creating development videos where I get the practice so that my content videos create more enjoyment for YOU (the viewer).
