e-Hobbyist

It's been a long time since I've been thinking to make Welder on my own. But being a hobbyist in the simple electronic project, I did not have enough knowledge on Welding or what so. Its then I started research on welding machine how do they work, how many types are there etc. Anyway, this project is to all my Electrical and Electronics friends out there, who are fond of Electronics and Power and DiY... RESTORATION                       I got to know that one could restore an old microwave oven from any local home shops and convert them to a welding machine. Hence I started my search on old MOT's, unfortunately here in Kerala, we got no or less access to old mid conditioned electronics. After searching for a month I got two MOT from my Dad's friend. After that salvage when I once went to my relative's house I found a local shop where a ton of MOT's where sold in accordance with their weight. I scavenged 2 more from t...

This is my very first DIY and of course my first post. Prime intention of this site is to motivate and educate those who are interested in electronics and mechanical builds. As I was moving to a new house it was indeed a good thought to have a speaker with me, so I thought why not build one? MECHANICAL BUILD           First of all, I was concerned about the casing. I did a quick research and found that solid wood and plywood showed the best acoustic properties, hence I went with those for the mechanical build. I first drew an outline of the speaker with approximate dimensions on a paper and then transferred them to the half inch teak, which was laying around, which was going to be the front panel. The whole length of the speaker which was 50cm was divided in half, and thereafter further divided to match the speakers and passive radiators                                ...
