creative, and smart, I’m also witty, charming, and super humble.
Salt hopper door
This was a redesign of a worn out salt hopper. CAD helped to optimize and de-uglify the fit up.
It’s all about safety.
One of my friends is on an insulin pump and wanted to go to GrrCON, a hackers conference. She was worried that someone might do some mischief on the frequency that her pump uses to communicate with the controller. My idea? All aluminum faraday cage! After all, sleep is for the weak.
Shiny
This is an aluminum jewelry display rack.
Gear Ball
This was the logo for GRMakers for awhile, a local makerspace that I’m affiliated with. I was asked to make a sign that we could put on the chest of a fire breathing dragon at Artprize. This was part one of the sign.
The design was flame cut, ground clean, then blued along the defining lines with a TIG torch.
A welder is born…
This is the first person that I taught how to TIG weld. He likes to say “If you can teach a left handed colorblind cripple, you can teach anyone.”
Whatta rack…
Prototype rack for a local business owner’s startup.
Shelves
Aluminum shelf design that I call “Fishbone.”
What’s in the box?
I found a present that I knew my friend would really enjoy, but because of the nature of our friendship, I couldn’t make it too easy for him. So I fabricated a box out of steel, put the gift inside, filled it with rocks and told him that what was inside was fragile and heat sensitive. The final product weighed 26 pounds.
I think he cherishes the memory more than the present.
GrrCoin
I was asked to produce laser cut souvenir coins for GrrCON, a Grand Rapids hacker conference. They turned out beautifully.
