Become a sponsor to Cal
👋 Hi, I'm Cal!
I'm a tinkerer based in Australia. When I hit a problem in the workshop, on the road or in my music library, I tend to end up writing a little tool to fix it, and then I put it online for free in case it helps someone else too.
🛠️ For the workshop and the road
- 🔌 ferrule: wiring and plumbing diagrams from a simple text file
- 🗄️ dunnage: printable holders that keep things still in a drawer, even on a rough road
- 🪚 cutlist: work out how to cut your parts from a sheet of ply with the least waste
- 🚐 parkup: find somewhere to park a van overnight in Brisbane
🎧 For music
- 🎶 ultrasonics: keep your playlists in sync across all your music services
💛 Why sponsor?
Everything here is free, with no accounts, adverts or tracking, and I plan to keep it that way. I build these in my evenings and weekends, so a sponsorship quite literally buys time: to fix bugs, answer questions and keep the older projects alive.
If one of these saved you an afternoon (or a sheet of plywood), a coffee-sized tip would make my day. ☕
Thanks for stopping by! 🙏
