Glasshouse Speakers, Mighty Mini Monitors
This is a pair of speakers built based on a kit from Hi-Fi Collective, the Speaker Kit No. 1. You are provided a basic kit including a set of CNC-machined enclosure panels, electronics and drive units.
Thanks for stopping by. I have a passion for engineering, electronics, woodworking and most areas of science. I just happen to be completely blind – though to defy a common misconception, despite a Penchant for machinery, I still have all eight fingers and both thumbs. Touch wood. Despite what a society led by charity campaigners and a broken social care system would have you believe, we’re normal, capable people with common interests.
I created this site as a portfolio and an outlet to share my work in engineering, woodwork and other creative endeavours. Blindness is just a USP – a physical aspect of my being that I am unfortunately stuck with, so I may as well use it to my advantage. I hope that the site can inspire, educate and break down barriers, kicking aside misconceptions and demonstrating that nothing is impossible.

A Few More Pens – Laburnum, Maple, Tigerwood, Sycamore
More pens resulting from my latest hobby / obsession. It's somewhat ironic that somebody who can't write (not with a pen at least) has found so much enjoyment and satisfaction in making these.
