Welcome to Hobby Built! I'm Alex, an industrial designer and maker who shares my journey of creating everything from budget-friendly DIY builds to intricate, over-engineered projects. I focus mostly on mechanical designs but often dive into electrical work, 3D printing, and CNC machining. Subscribe and join me as I bring my ideas to life!
