Stuff Made Here

I’ve been building things for as long as I can remember. It all started when my dad exposed me to plastic model building and soldering when I was around 4 years old. That set me on a path to building increasingly complex things and becoming an engineer. My goal is to do the same for as many people as possible by exposing them to the joy of engineering, fabricating and creating things out of nothing. If I’m lucky a few people may become engineers, which would be great for the world. Engineering is awesome.

Shane Wighton’s YouTube channel, Stuff Made Here, is all about building cool inventions and solving problems with real engineering. He creates robots and machines from scratch, though he does use some very expensive tools and equipment. The projects are impressive because of the amount of work involved, the filming and editing quality is excellent, and the videos are both fun and easy to understand, even if you’re not an engineer.
