Robotic Arm

Hey guys! In spite of the usual schedule, I felt bad for neglecting the blog for so long so I'm going to do a week of posts every day starting yesterday! Today we have a robotic arm, it doesn't sound all that useful but when you're out in your shed it can grab you the tool so you can keep working while your waiting on the tool you'll need next!

CNC Machine

Hey guys! Apologies for neglecting the blog but I'm back! This week we have a CNC model, and doesn't sound like it'd be a backyard gadget, but if you can build it from the model we have for you, then you can start printing your own stuff in no time!

Starting Off!

Hey there you backyard Edisons! Running low on ideas and getting bored with nothing to build in your free time? Well, you just found a place where once a week, we will find the single coolest thing we possibly can and share it with you fine folks. Every once and a while we'll be posting our own designs, and if you want your designs to be posted? Take a quick pic of it and email us at backyardgadgets@gmail.com, if we like what we see? We'll put it straight onto the page! So make sure to check in every week, wouldn't want to miss the next big thing before it gets big now would you?
