Kestrel's Builds
Things I've made, written up so you can make them too. The builds vary. One might be foam and printed parts, another a paint technique, a sewing project or some electronics. Each comes with whatever it takes to finish the project, and all of it is free to download.
What comes with a build
- A guide that takes the work in the order it has to happen, with drawings or photos along the way.
- A list of materials and tools, so you know what to gather before you start.
- Whatever files the project calls for. That could be full-size templates, a sewing pattern, print files, a wiring diagram or code. Some builds need none.
Who makes these
I am Eric, and I make these at a workbench in Athens, Georgia. Each one is something I built and wore or used first. The write-up came afterwards, once I knew what worked.
I also keep a hall of free board games at Kestrel's Hall, and I roost at blog.kestrelsnest.social.
Tip jar
The builds are free and will stay free. Materials and filament do add up, though, and anyone who wants to chip in toward them can do so at ko-fi.com/kestrelsnest. Chipping in unlocks nothing, and every build is the same for everyone.
