Hi, I'm Lukas, one of the CoMakingSpace's founders and managers. You'll usually find me in the Space when I host 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
accurately lighting an aquarium for behavioral recordings
drying timber
"Semi-Cordless Drill" (replacing a cordless drill's old NiCd battery pack with an on-demand power supply)
galleries for visual wiki navigation
turning an old radio into a versatile mobile media player
Takedown-Recurvebogen aus alten Ski
Kreidekreisel-"Malmaschine"
floating fish rearing cages
3D model of our rooms
Schallschutztüren zur Werkstatt
Done
And here are some of my projects that are (probably) finished:
- (navigation gallery - click to see project pages)
learning how to turn captive rings on the wood lathe
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
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
self-made file handles
klappbarer Schwenkgrill
"TAC" boardgame
"Roubo" style woodworking bench for our wood workshop
lockers for the Space
various 3D printed boardgames
Planned
- various other home improvements, e.g. a balkony table
- "Maker's mark" to brand or emboss my finished pieces
- Spartan hoplite knife & pencil holders
- 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!
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
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 ;-)
