About Baldy Makes Stuff

Baldy Makes Stuff grew out of my interest in Meccano: the familiar metal strips, gears, pulleys and motors that can be combined into remarkably sophisticated working machines.

Filming Meccano exhibitions and the creations of experienced builders opened up a wider fascination with mechanical ingenuity. The channel now features compilations of real moving models, convention visits, original projects and occasional hands-on kit reviews.

Although the subject has expanded beyond Meccano, its spirit remains central: curiosity, practical engineering and the satisfaction of seeing something you have built actually work.

The videos are for Meccano enthusiasts, model engineers, makers and anyone who enjoys discovering how mechanisms work.
