This website has been set up to share our photography, electronic and other home projects. We set out to inspire others to have the confidence to try these projects at home.
Ian and Emma live in Hong Kong and have a family of four children.
When the Corona Virus shut down the world, we found ourselves, like many others in unfamiliar territory. Suddenly, everyone was home all day, every day. This gave us all extra spare time to spend together and develop hobbies into practical projects for the family. Some of these leisure activities led to the projects we now share with you.
Projects
Our youngest son is heavily into Hot Wheels cars, marble runs and marble mazes. This inspired Ian to focus his attention on cars and marbles (without hopefully losing his marbles in the process!). These electronic projects, home STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) projects have developed into primary education projects during the lockdown periods, a YouTube channel and ultimately setting up this website.
With other parents asking how they could create the Race Timer we made the project available on YouTube. From there, many more people from all over the World have shown interest in our work and introduced us to the large diecast racing groups. with this interest came requests for supply of a product that worked straight out of the box. This interest led to development of a production version Race Timer, Finish line and Speedometer for Hot Wheels compatible cars. Sales of this Race Timer have now been supplied to families and enthusiasts around the World.
Photography
Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.
Our Family
We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals achieve their health and wellness goals. Previously an IT Manager her skill set has come in very handy as she builds websites for people. Luckily, Ian made it on her development list resulting in this website!
