Today, I present you what I think are the best of my first 180 stereo photographs.
All images shown here are made with a simple compact camera without any further equipment, using the so-called cha-cha method.
It means taking two consecutive photos from slightly different positions.
<br>
I recommend to set your preferred view below the first image and to reload the page by pressing F5.
You can also <a href="http://phereo.com/album/537a3032df7df3cb0c00000f" title="Phereo album of my favorites" target="_blank">view the album on Phereo</a>.

This post helps you to calibrate your
<a href="http://turnvater-janosch.blogspot.com/2014/05/homemade-weighing-scale-tutorial-and-plans.html" title="Tutorial and plans for the weighing scale"><b>homemade weighing scale</b></a>
and creates a printable readout scale that you can glue onto the device.
The post will guide you through the entire calibration process, establish a functional relation between mass and indicator position
(the process is termed regression),
and lets you configure the appearance of the scale.
Finally, you obtain a file that you can print on a black/white printer.
<br>
<br>
To allow you reading through the page and trying out the tools without doing the calibration, I provide example data from my prototype weighing scale.

This post provides a tutorial and plans for a homemade weighing scale, similar to a classical letter scale.
You obtain a scale that you can easily adjust to have the range of your needs, be it for only 20 grams like my prototype
shown on the left, or for 100 or 200 grams.
<br>
Accompanying this post, I provide a <a href="http://turnvater-janosch.blogspot.de/2014/05/homemade-weighing-scale-calibration-tutorial-tools.html" title="Weighing scale calibration tutorial and tools"><b>tutorial and JavaScript tool</b></a>
that allows you to easily calibrate the weighing scale
and that produces a fancy readout scale that you can print and attach to the device.
<br>
The video below demonstrates usage and accuracy of the prototype.

Time for another plans post! Here is a construction manual with plans for a very simple version of my marble maze cube.
The idea is a three-dimensional, hidden maze through which one has to guide a marble or steel ball.
<br>
This cube contains one of the most simple mazes possible, where each "floor" can be solved alone to get to the next one.
More complicated versions contain more changes between the floors.
<br>
Be sure to watch the time-lapse video of the simple construction process below before reading the manual!
A 3D stereoscopic version of the video is available <a href="http://youtu.be/3cm6tdH0UZs">here</a>.

Celebrating one year and 500 subscribers on YouTube, here are some
ASCII animations. Thanks to all of you for watching <a
href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TurnvaterJanosch" target="_blank" title="Turnvater Janosch's YouTube channel">my videos</a>! <br>
ASCII art is the art of creating graphics using only text characters.
It is not just an out-dated technique from the times of text-based
computer monitors and communication, but a great way to produce
animations with little effort. Be it a simple GIF animation as shown on
the left, or a more complex cartoon as in the video below.

Have you ever asked yourself how to view all these stereoscopic 3D
photographs, films and artwork out there without expensive equipment? <br>
Or are you a stereoscopy enthusiast, but your friends cannot view
cross-eyed? <br> Made from a CD cover and filled with water, these
glasses are a costless, easy to build solution. The viewing experience
is very pleasant and the glasses can be used for a wide range of media
sizes.

is very simple and doesn't require much more than a CD cover and

<br />
<br />
Recent days, the video of my most elaborate project became fairly viral:
the Pendulum Marble Clock.
<br />

</div>
<br />
In the course of that, I received a lot of requests for plans. So I
decided to successively make available plans and construction manuals
for the projects that you can watch on
