John Tse built an umbrella that flies.

It hovers above your head and follows you hands-free.

A depth camera tracks your position, a Raspberry Pi processes it, and the drone stays centered above you, even in heavy rain.

This guy built an autonomous flying umbrella (powered by drones) that automagically follows you around in the rain. (A possible counter to a personal raincloud?) [youtube.com]

I needed to make it sound better. Years ago, dad had bought a acoustic package that came with a tiny black amp. I took it upon myself to build it a little bigger and better. I was successful and it turned our great! #ibuildstuff #cabinetmaker #guitaramp #amplifier #rebuilt #modified #madebetter
Image of a little black amp cabinet that had a tiny speaker that I was going to make it a better piece of equipment. The new cabinet (left) would be ported, have a larger speaker and also a tweeter horn to sound better with the acoustic guitar. An image of the finished amp rebuild and modification. Pictured here with my little Yamaha acoustic. It sounds a whole lot better and makes for a decent practice amp.

We had more cans than pantry space, so I bought some poplar and made a couple can racks. They are convenient, make more space in the pantry, and checking inventory is possible at a glance. #racks #dispenser #woodworker #ibuildstuff #myhome #diy #buildit #organize #storage
Image of a can holder/dispenser that I was building... was testing it with cans to make sure it was right, before I paint it Image of two can rack/dispensers that had been tested and were now ready for sanding and paint. Image of a finished can rack installed and ready to do its job. I didn't anticipate that the dog food cans were slightly smaller than most other cans, so I had to make slight (additions) modifications to ensure that there would be no issues. I use broth for many dishes I cook, so this rack holds these cans. This can rack job is complete.

For the company I worked with, they needed tent boards for open house promotions. Knowing my skill, they asked me if I could build them. They turned out well. #ibuildstuff #craftsman #diy #justmyjob #workworkwork #carpenter #woodworker #panelsign #panelboard #tentsign
Image of a stack of materials cut and prepared to be assembled into the tent billboards. An image of what the assembled parts will make with the pine frames and the white melamine panels. After I assembled them, I took them to my home, masked off the white surfaces and painted the in the company color green. They are now ready to use.

Gained experience making good, strong boxes as a cabinetmaker. I made a lot of our equipment cases and speakers for the band and for my studio. I also modify guitar amp cabinets. #craftsman #woodworker #builder #create #design #DIY #myself #ibuiltthis #buildit #case #speakers #custom #ibuildstuff
Image of compact, lower power, high range satellite speakers for a bass enclosure. A converted 20 watt Crate guitar amp to a mini stack amp that sounds very good for its size. My preferred side fill vocal monitor when playing in the band. I also built a set of four wedge stage monitors. An equipment case I built to hold a 2 rack-space powered PA head, and a single rack-space processor.

Sometimes I would put my abilities to work at my place of employment. The company I worked for would commit to a day of service one day, each year, and at different locations... Our Big Give. #service #woodworking #benches #carftsman #ibuildstuff #redwood #likenew #muchbetternow #helpingothers
A company day of service... before image of an area that I would build new bench tops for. The company I worked for transformed this facility in big ways. A company day of service... and this is my set up on my patio because these were too big to build in my garage shot. Bench tops were made of 2x6 redwood lumber. A company day of service... Image of benchtops built and finished, and ready to deliver and install. A company day of service... Area transformation complete with new bench tops and the area cleaned up. There was still another bench that was rebuilt up front. The company I worked for transformed this facility in big ways.

Place I worked at needed a couple things for their coffee station... a riser for the pots to make space to get a cup under the spigot, and also a dispenser for the sugar packets. Built from oak & stained to match the credenza. #ibuildstuff #craftsman #woodworking #coffee #sugar #creamer #oak #DIY
Image of a dispenser for sugar and creamer packets in the making... clamped and gluing. Working at my home garage/shop. Image of a dispenser for sugar and creamer packets in the making... checking the fit of the plexi-glass and lid. Working at my home garage/shop. Image of a dispenser for sugar and creamer packets in the making... stained, almost finished. Working at my home garage/shop. The two pieces I built, finished and in place... ready to serve.
