I hope my website is an interesting read, or if you don't want to read it's picture heavy - 10660 so far + 29 video's.
Many projects are quite in depth and are normally set to teach myself something new. The genre being mechanical, electronic or electromechanical and can range from engines, engine management, air rifles, electronics, nuclear fusion, and many more. If you're looking for recent developments then click on the timeline link for my latest completed project or a quick rundown of this sites content.
I started this website back in 2012 and slowly started adding projects intended to help me learn something new. It quickly became a large part of my life and to an extent gave me some kind of a purpose, with the intention of this site to impress potential employers of what I can do. Over my life I realised that working for someone else will only get me an average life, if at best I find a decent employer, but they were all the same, greedy. I started my own business at the end of 2021 and it has been the best choice of my life. I now get out of life what I put into it, but along the way I have the freedom to make my own choices.
It's quite unlikely that I'll ever update the rest of the site from now on, apart from this home page, but who knows. In just the four years that my business has been running I have acquired several machines and done enough projects to triple this sites content. So what has changed? well, I'm just too busy now. I am going to start keeping up with Youtube as people would rather see a video than read all of this text. I am quite undecided what to do, but it's unlikely I'll delete this site. I also have to code this whole thing in html, so that's a pain too.

If you've found this page from social media then I thank you for taking the time to look. The reason I'm doing this is the hope that I can raise some extra money for my business, whether it's through purchasing these placards or making a donation. I'm in manufacturing and for many reasons it's a venture people fail at, mostly in the cost of machines, lack of funds and late payments. My machinery is very old but with that I fix them myself, it's incredibly expensive to buy new. My biggest problem is having the funds for tooling and material, because in this business it's very difficult to get a deposit. You purchase material, tooling, make the parts and then sometimes wait 3 months to be paid. So ultimately it's hard to expand. I've lost plenty of money through my own mistakes of learning, but lost even more to peoples dishonesty. I need to concentrate for now on saving up for a deposit to purchase my unit, which I don't have much time left to do so. Once I can secure that I can finally concentrate on expanding my business and do some fun projects.
So why might you want to help me? Well my life has not been plain sailing, I had a lot of health issues from age 16 gradually getting worse up to age 25. It look a lot of years after that to readjust my thinking, I am physically healthy again, and I missed out on so much of my life, so I'm doing my best to succeed. My life is super basic, no luxuries, an old car, no social life, no vacations, every penny goes into my business. I live in Canada and there's absolutely no help for a small business like me. While I continue to work on my machining business there is a sector I wish to pursue. Take a look at the About section for more about me.
I'm currently working on a method to manufacture specific grades of plastic into certain shapes, a process no one currently utilises in Canada or the US. A lot of this business is lost to Europe and I'm hoping to tap into it. This industry is worth billions of dollars. In my spare time I am working on a prototype, a small machine to prove the theory.
I am using social media in the hopes to spread the word, with the hope that there are good people out there to help an individual succeed in life. I am making the placards becuase it uses an old machine that can run in the background, sure it's only making $20 an hour, but everything helps. I have given the option to purchase your own custom engraving in aluminum or brass. Or you can choose to donate the placard and I'll place it on the wall at my work, as seen in the videos. If a sizeable donation is made then a large brass plac with your portait and donation amount will be placed on display, and a very personal thankful video made. At the bottom of this page are my future plans and some projects I want to pursue.

With the the money I get from these placards and the general money I earn through my machining business I will use every penny to save up for a deposit to purchase my unit. At the time of writing this I only have around 1300 followers combined on social media, and it's never brought me income, so I have no idea if people will be interested or willing to help. Once I get my unit I'll be having some more fun with the following projects, and products.
These will include;
Largest capacity single cylinder motorbike 10L - World Record
2 Stroke 100 cylinder motorcycle - World Record - Engine already designed
4 Stroke 100 cylinder motorcycle - World Record - Engine partially designed
12 speed sequential transmission - Design 90% - Ready to 3D print a prototype
6 Motorcycle engines in a car / kei truck
Stainless Vapor Blasting Unit - Product - 95% Designed
24 Ton Hydraulic Precision Forging Press Product - Ready to build 7th and Final Revision
Powered 10 Ton Machine Moving Skate - Product - Prototype 95% Done
Vibrating Tumbler - Product - Design 75% - First of its kind (patent maybe?)
Centrifugal Plastic Casting Machine - Need to Prototype (patent maybe?)
1000 Cylinder Car Engine - Will cost a few hundred thousand to make
How will I do this, well in 4 years I have acquired, 4 CNC milling machines, 3 CNC lathes, 1 Die Sinker, 1 Wire EDM, 1 welder, 1 blanchard grinder. I have also retrofitted 5 CNC machines. Not including my bad decisions of machinery I have bought and sold. So mechanically I'm equipped, just not financially.
