For those of you wondering what happened to Keitei Ventures - she's been working away... far far away!

In Kermit's latest adventure we attempt to tow a (not very) tiny house 300miles!

Hello! When it goes a bit quiet on my channel, it's usually because the current videos are only available on my patreon page, in this case it's a 3 part series follow my rebuilding of my kitchen on an ultra low budget, a prelude to a serious solar thermal upgrade.

Lots more public videos in the works of course, but in the meantime I can highly recommend this video from the lovely Keitei Ventures - a fireside chat (with lots of video footage!) about an adventure Katie and her friend embarked upon a few years ago - they arrived in Vietnam, bought some (terrible) local motorbikes and set off from Ho Chi Min to Hanoi. Despite breaking down what looks like most days, a very jolly time was had. I found it very inspiring, I hope you do too.

My friend and fellow Youtuber Keitei has just made a video which will re-affirm your faith in humanity, at least that's what I took from it. Also if you like a decent project build series - she is in the middle of an epic tiny house construction - currently at 29 episodes!

I've been asked quite a bit for an update on Project Awesome - the truck mounted pipe organ - well the other half of the team has been hard at work on it recently and here's what he's come up with. Take it away ‪@spungletrumpet‬ !!

Hello! Anyone out there remember Project Kermit??

The big decision with any Land Rover project is whether to start with a new chassis or attempt to repair the old one. Up for the challenge of bringing a 40 year old chassis up to factory new condition (or better!), I got stuck in.

I posted a video about my progress some time ago and now - many months later - I have just about finished editing up the second part of the chassis work. There is so much story to share - it will be bought to you in 5 parts! My Patrons have been watching each episode as I've finished them and starting tomorrow evening I will be releasing them all on here, 1 per night over the next 5 nights.

Cheers!
Max

Making the most of things

I have something to confess to you all - I am a runner - yes I am one of those lycra clad, tomato faced, middle-aged men you see huffing and puffing their way across the countryside.

Why am I telling you now? Well, as I write this, as many of you are all too aware, the whole of the UK, myself included, is back under a forced lockdown (for the 3rd time!). I have been struggling to find anything positive to say about the situation, but I did think of one thing. We are still currently allowed out once a day for exercise - so lets make it count!

Fitness videos presented by super fit people can be quite intimidating, or at least I found them so when I was trying to learn about the subject. So I've made some myself to explain the basics in a way more relevant to the rest of us.

Part 1 is an introduction and sets out to explain just a few fundamental points.

Part 2 will be a detailed look at running.

Part 3 will be all about strength training and how to go about it without going to a gym.
