John Builds Things

This channel is all about turning ideas into reality, one project at a time. Whether I’m building a DIY home theater from salvaged gear, programming an ESP32-powered darkroom timer, or recreating the Back to the Future Flux Capacitor for my Ford Maverick, you’ll find a mix of hands-on builds that blend tech, design, and personal passion.

🛠️ What you’ll find here:
• DIY home improvement and room transformations
• Smart electronics projects with microcontrollers (ESP32, Pi Pico, Arduino)
• 3D printing and CNC machining tutorials
• Custom clocks, props, and interactive displays
• Time-lapses, deep dives, and practical code walkthroughs

Whether you're a fellow tinkerer, a curious viewer, or just here to be inspired by what's possible with off-the-shelf parts and a little ingenuity, there’s something here for you.
