Build Anything. Own Everything.

Steelbak is where practical skills meet open-source technology. We’re building systems that put the power of manufacturing, communication, and independence in your hands.

I’m Scott Gregory, and my journey from premium farrier services to systems builder taught me one crucial lesson: #WeHaveTheTools to create anything we need. We just need the right systems to make it accessible to everyone.

I try to stay active on Discord, and have sporadically been active on Hive, Odysee, Youtube, and GitHub. I’m on X as @DiggnDeeper_X some.

Core Interests:

I want to do flips and side-gigs

  • Networking & Communications (The Hub): Specializing in self-hosted solutions and independent infrastructure
  • Mechanical Systems: Expert maintenance and modification of vehicles, machinery, and equipment
  • Electrical: DC to AC systems, from vehicle electronics to property infrastructure
  • Fabrication: Custom solutions through welding, machining, and precision fabrication
  • Property Management: Comprehensive maintenance and improvement of structures and land
