Hi, I'm Lukas, one of the CoMakingSpace's founders and managers. You'll often find me in the Space during the Wednesday Making Hours :-)

I always knew I liked to build and assemble things, but never thought of myself as very creative until I built my first 3D printer and began to understand CAD programs. Many other techniques have gotten my attention since then and I believe that knowing how to work with a material automatically leads to tons of ideas what to do with it. Therefore, learning and teaching is the main advantage of community workshops like the CoMakingSpace in my eyes (closely followed by all the cool stuff you couldn't afford on your own).

Besides coming up with new ideas, I believe that knowing even just a few basic methods and tools enables everyone to repair and recycle their stuff more efficiently, reducing the amount of waste our modern society likes to generate.

Projects

I especially like combining different materials, upcycling "waste" and incorporating natural materials into my projects. A continuous effort of mine is creating content and structure for this wiki to equip other Makers (especially those around Heidelberg) with a good starting point for their own projects, and contributing to solutions in our Space's "issue tracker".

Future projects will likely revolve around constructing the CoMakingSpace and increasing its selection of jigs and self-made tools - squeezing in some personal projects now and then:

Ongoing

(navigation gallery - click to see project pages)
self-made mallets
drying timber
galleries for visual wiki navigation
Takedown-Recurvebogen aus alten Ski
3D model of our rooms
lathe-powered disc sander
Spartan hoplite knife & pencil holders

Done

And here are some of my projects that are (probably) finished:

(navigation gallery - click to see project pages)
Flaschenschneider
Lampe aus zerschnittenen Weinflaschen
Würfelturm aus solidem Holz
activity board
Lerntürme für Kinder (IKEA-Hack)
turning an old radio into a versatile mobile media player
Kreidekreisel-"Malmaschine"
Schallschutztüren zur Werkstatt
learning how to turn captive rings on the wood lathe
metal rose, completely by hand
bicycle bell from an old typewriter
shelf for "Odenwald" jars
laser cut laptop wall mount
couch table legs out of old VHS cassettes
my brother's giant football scoreboard
resized wardrobe drawers
"Semi-Cordless Drill" (replacing a cordless drill's old NiCd battery pack with an on-demand power supply)
Bierkastentisch fürs Camping
"Lumberjack Championship" inspired wedding cake stand
tealight holders out of birch logs
beeswax wrap to replace cling foil (Frischhaltefolie) in the kitchen
accurately lighting an aquarium for behavioral recordings
self-made file handles
klappbarer Schwenkgrill
"TAC" boardgame
floating fish rearing cages
circular saw guide without measuring
"Roubo" style woodworking bench for our wood workshop
lockers for the Space
various 3D printed boardgames

Planned

tons of toys & games - often, but not always for the kids
various other home & garden improvements
retry Project:Schneckchen with laser cutting
"Maker's mark" to brand or emboss my finished pieces
experiments under the Precious Plastic umbrella
welding more campfire and barbecue equipment
froe and three-way wedge for splitting wood
marking knife, knife sharpener, parting tool & more out of old circular saw blades
puzzle games like the "Nut-T Coin Trap" that could be adjusted for laser cutting
...and too many more...

Other "Makes"

Here I'll collect some pictures where I didn't write a whole project page (yet?), e.g. if it was just my take on someone else's project or it's simple enough to be understood from one photo. However, if you have any questions I'm always happy to help and could document more!

a simple stool cut from leftover IKEA pieces from Project:Lernturm
charcoal grate welded from rebar
key holder for climbing enthusiasts (inspired by fujfuj.com)
corner guards (simple child's head savers that indestructively clamp on any shelf corner)
composting toilet built almost entirely from pallet wood and other recycled materials
laser engraved & waxed Tigerente
simple but decorative holder for a wooden photo out of leftovers from my "TAC" boardgame
pasta roller for Patrick
standing desk upgrade to any desk (as long as you're tall or the screen is small enough)
clock from forks and spoons
angled DVD shelves to display titles better while avoiding heavy stacks
vertical strawberry farm
saw handle out of leftovers from my "TAC" boardgame - the naked blade cost me just a few cents
simple pouch to store & transport countersink wood drill bits
repair: got a "beer table" with a hole in it for next to 0 €, then plugged it with a custom cut piece of fir and sanded it flush after the wood glue was dry
decorative bible covers I helped Birgitt make: laser engraved patterns and "holy" water/soil under acrylic glass

"Private" Pages

Feel free to read on if you feel like it, but these probably won't be interesting to you - more like notes to myself ;-)
