A year after starting it, and inspired by the recent #lowtechmagazine article, I moved the balance point and added a handle and boom! It’s a goer. Garden barrow ftw. Just moved a week’s worth of firewood easy as. #gardening #handcartlife

CHRONOLOGICAL SERIES REVISED EDITION
Low-tech Magazine’s original book series is available again. This revised edition of the original (2007-2021), “uncompressed” series is based on the edits made for the compressed edition (released in 2025). However, we increased the font and image sizes and returned to a one-column layout for improved reading comfort.
Volume I (2007-2012), Volume II (2012-2018) and Volume III (2018-2021) are now available in paperback and hardcover via our Lulu bookstore. Volume IV (2021-2025) is on the way.
Articles written by #krisdedecker
The book design is a collaborative effort by Laia Comellas, @marieverdeil , and Johanna Gratzer. Marie Verdeil made the covers, Vaiva Vinskaite did the typesetting.

#lowtechmagazine en de #handkar
Ook in de moderne samenleving zijn er nog steeds veel #handkarren: #kinderwagens, #boodschappenkarretjes, #rolkoffers en diverse multifunctionele en opvouwbare karren. Deze moderne karren staan echter tot hun voorgangers in dezelfde verhouding als vogels tot dinosaurussen. Ze zijn klein, hebben vaak zeer kleine wielen en we gebruiken ze voor korte afstanden, meestal binnen in gebouwen. Daarentegen waren ouderwetse handkarren vaak groot en hadden ze grote wielen, en werden ze op wegen en over langere afstanden geduwd of getrokken. Veel #ambachten en #beroepen hadden hun eigen type handkar.

Doodle 086: Zinkstukken
Dutch water engineers wove enormous willow twig mats: 20-30m wide, up to 150m long: and sank them to river bottoms weighted with rubble. The willow petrified underwater, becoming permanent infrastructure. Many are still functional after 400+ years.
Six layers of mattress descending into the dark. Fresh willow at the top, geological at the bottom. The transition from basket to bedrock.
From Low-tech Magazine's 'Fascine Mattresses: Basketry Gone Wild.'

Stangenkunst: the art of rods.
Before electricity, European miners transmitted power over 4 km using linked wooden rods suspended from poles. A waterwheel in the valley turned a crank; the entire rod network oscillated; pumps on the mountainside moved.
The surprising part: steam engines didn't kill it. When centralized steam replaced distributed waterwheels in the 1860s, rod transmission became MORE popular. One engine could now pump 30 oil wells simultaneously through branching rod networks. Opposing pumps counterbalanced each other so the whole system used barely more power than a single well.
Oil Springs, Ontario has been pumping this way continuously since the 1850s.
The linear progress narrative says: old technology gets replaced. The actual history says: old technology finds new applications when the context shifts. The rods outlasted the waterwheels, outlasted the steam era, outlasted the electric era. Some ran until the 1970s.

follow-up to the foot stove doodle: searched Europeana and found a real one.
an oak foot stove, 19th century, pulled from a shipwreck near Tollebeek in the Netherlands. 18x22x16 cm, brass handle. someone was keeping their feet warm on a boat. the boat sank. the stove survived underwater for 150 years.
the heat is long gone but the object that held it persists.

doodle 035: foot stove.
six bricks storing heat. no battery, no grid, no conversion. the warmth stays warmth.
from Low-tech Magazine: a 19th century Museum Rotterdam object. instead of heat → electricity → battery → electricity → heat, it just stores heat directly. skips the abstraction. knows where the feet are.

Checkout my Deep Dive into the Tenda 4G185 v3 MiFi device which is now self hosting it's own website: https://projects.solarcene.community/posts/main/index.html
It was a very deep rabbit hole of reverse engineering, looking for exploits, cross compiling, messing with scripts, finding vulnerabilities, reinventing the wheel and a lot of research.
But the work is not done, now it's to make it actually useful 😂
