About Kernow HQ.
A hands-on channel from Cornwall, built around curiosity, real projects and the simple joy of finding out what happens when you have a go.
Try it.
Build it.
Tweak it.
Kernow HQ is a hands-on channel based in Cornwall, UK, covering real-world projects across Cars, Tech, Smart Homes, Gardening and DIY.
There’s no huge production crew, no perfect workshop and no pretending to know everything. Just genuine projects, plenty of tinkering, a bit of trial and error — and the occasional “well… that didn’t go according to plan.”
Practical ideas you can actually use.
From modifying and maintaining cars to building smart home automations, improving the garden and tackling everyday DIY, KHQ is about experimenting, learning and making life work a little better.
No fluff. Just real projects, real results and constant tinkering.
What we're into.
Five different areas, one common theme: curiosity.
Cars
Maintenance, modifications, upgrades, accessories, detailing and real-world ownership.
Tech
Gadgets, useful technology and honest tests focused on real-world use.
Smart Homes
Home Assistant, sensors, automations and connected-home projects.
Gardening
Growing experiments, vegetables, equipment, pests, feeds and results.
DIY
Practical fixes, builds, home improvements and jobs that need doing.
It’s about having a go.
Kernow HQ isn’t about pretending everything works perfectly first time. It’s about the journey — the experiments that work, the projects that need changing, the things that turn out to be much harder than expected and the occasional happy accident.
Hopefully you’ll pick up something useful, discover a new idea, save yourself some money, or simply enjoy watching someone else have a go at something you’ve been thinking about doing yourself.
Built in Cornwall.
Made for curious people.
Kernow HQ is proudly based in Cornwall, UK, bringing a bit of Cornish creativity, curiosity and hands-on attitude to every project.
