Thinking and Tinkering
Robert Murray-Smith's empowerment-through-making archive. A memorial channel since 2025.
Robert Murray-Smith’s decades-spanning archive of making with minimal tools — the philosophy was empowerment: creativity, experimentation, local resources, and being able to do things for yourself if you need to. The channel’s final upload was his last video, followed by a RIP notice: Robert died in 2025. The 2,400+ video back catalogue — mechanisms, FreeCAD tutorials, gears of every description — stands as the legacy, and the channel is now a memorial.
