A typical Murphy bed design is incredibly large, requires you to drill holes in the wall and floor, and operates with a number of large springs. I redesigned the Murphy bed in a sleek, modern package. It is entirely self contained- no holes to drill. There is a bench available when it is in the upright position. The lift assist is performed by gas shocks, leaving the area under the bench free for storage.
It is currently on display at GRMakers and will be attending Grand Rapids Makerfaire.

This is some fairly complicated aluminum welding. There is a machined channel through each piece, so the weld is between a part that is an eighth of an inch thick, and almost three quarters. The weld goes completely around the part, including a really tight inside corner followed by a curve. It must have fantastic penetration because the reinforcement is machined away and the hinge must be seamless.
This is an in-progress shot of a key rack design that I drew, produced in cad, plasma cut out of steel, and welded. I intend to have it powder coated black, then spray paint the skeleton white and then go over it again with a coat of glow in the dark paint.
I’ve been known to design, fabricate, and dramatically over weld fixtures.
The makers of Gon Kirin(literally, light dragon) wanted a sign to show off their ArtPrize voting number. I stepped up and produced this. It is entirely done by hand, using a soapstone line and an oxyfuel torch.
If you look carefully at the chest of the dragon, you can also see the gear ball logo that I made.
