PhotographyFuzzcraft
Welcome to the world of Fuzzcraft.com! This website is a log of many of the DIY projects I did over the course of over 15 years. I'm a photographer, I used to be a performing musician, and I also did some light effect projects. I also write reviews for some gadgets I buy. Use the sliding tabs on the right to view all the projects and articles. To the left are more general links and links to my other departments. Hopefully I will have inspired you to start building your own fuzzy project. Others have done so, so why not?
Features
Photo gear flightcase #2. This time it's a mini case to protect a bare minimum camera kit for my many concert shoots.
My increasingly popular Flightcase DIY guide got a complete makeover in the past few weeks. I changed the layout and added a lot of photos of tools and parts, included a number of tips and tricks, and even put up an example case project.
Ring light 4.1: a fiber optic TTL ring flash. Thousands of optic fibers guide the light from a camera's popup flash to a ring around the lens. Essentially a very simple idea, with cheap materials, but with stunning results. This is the second, improved version that can be used on any lens.
Most recent additions
- I finished the second photo gear flightcase.
- I built a new comment system, allowing comments on every single page. I'm still tweaking it, so please cut me some slack, because I'm not the most experienced PHP programmer around.
- Complete makeover of the Flightcase DIY guide
- Review of a hot little newcomer camera: the Sony Alpha NEX-5.
Why I build stuff myself
Why? Because I can. Because it's fun. Because I'm a cheap-ass. Because I inherited it from my father. Because I have the unstoppable urge to create and build stuff you simply can't buy in a store. Because I like to make noise and dust with power tools. Because burning and melting stuff is awesome. Because it's exciting to start with nothing and end up with something useful. Because I like nothing more than educating myself. Because it keeps me occupied. Because it has helped me to get a job twice. Because I like a mind challenge once in a while.
Have fun (or eat your heart out 
),
Joris.

As you can see, there's a new comment system in place, which allows you to comment on every article and/or project on this website, directly at their respective pages. It took me the better part of a day to write and install it, so please post your comments if you have any. I'm still fine tuning everything, so some small bumps during message entry can be expected. I won't remove messages, unless they're offensive or spam.

Dude, this is exactly how I feel. I also inherited it from my father, at a very early age. It was the best education I could have got!
Sweet stuff & ideas here. Keep it up.
