I’m working on some new things, all digital because I’m getting ready to move again and all the best painting and sculpture ideas are really large right now. It’s probably a good thing, though. I’m trying to break the cycle of write program // save program // never open program again. I love the option […]
As indicated by the title, this project is proof of a concept above all. I started with a 3D model (courtesy of mckoss on thingiverse,) trimmed it down in Blender, and imported it into 123D Make. I expanded it by ⅛ inch, sliced it for ⅛ inch stock, and exported it for laser cutting. Lasered, […]
I have loads of sketches and files for projects that I’ve never made the time to turn into physical objects but I’m trying to work through more of them. This is one. I like it because I think this is interesting, and the project could scale into larger and more elaborate versions as well. […]
This business card case holds a stack of business cards (obviously) and up to a dozen Micro SD memory cards below a false bottom. It’s made from hobby stock – the kind in craft stores that comes in weird sizes like 1/32 inch thick – which willingly accommodates designs that hinge on having accurate dimensions. […]
My copy of the latest Instructables book arrived a few days ago. I’m slightly embarassed to say that I couldn’t remeber what project of mine was included, and I had to look through it to find my own work! The result of making too much stuff I guess. You can pick up a copy of […]
I made a life-size, battery powered, faux campfire. It can go anywhere to give a space a false sense of warmth or keep the monsters away, whatever your preference. I modeled the shapes in Blender, sliced them up in 123D Make, laser cut them from chipboard, paper-mached over the forms, then plaster coated and painted […]
This is one of those ideas that I’ve had for a while and just committed to reality. They’re created by using a laser to burn the lines into the surface of the paper. It’s a delicate balance between enough power for the lines to be clear but not so much that the paper is cut […]
The first snow of the year in Wicker Park, Chicago. […]
