2 days later, I have the 5 axis CNC working again. The $40 solid state relay broke the $1300 power supply, which broke the $1000 motor board, which broke the whole machine. On one side of understanding (non-chaotic) systems, everything is a mysterious black box. On the other side, it’s a clump of parts, all behaving exactly as they will. Glad to have had the chance to move toward the later.

3D printed concrete casting experiment. Now I just need a plant. A coat of cooking spray and the outside of the mold popped right off. The inner plug came out in pieces. Having the larger build area of the Lulzbot really helped this one. 26 hours printing and about $5 in plastic.

CNC plywood folding, cut using multiple router bits. Adapted from the video posted by Andrew Klein that has been making the rounds.

Auto-locking vise-grips, precision screwdriver set, box-o-nuts and bolts, snap blade knife, awl for all, dental scraping tool, japanese saw, band clamp, E-6000 glue, 45lb fish scale, digital calipers, sharpwriter mechanical pencil, automatic center punch, and a stack of box cutters so there’s always one nearby

Excited and grateful to be a part of a team that builds and sets up such fun stuff like this mini-minigolf hole I got to cut the curvy bits for.

A quick and dirty prop megaphone I did on the CNC. It's tough rolling these shapes perfectly by hand, so I made it circular with the help of some wood rings and a zip tie. A fun CAD challenge to take on.

I am back in NYC now, designing and building scenery and such on this nimble giant. Doing this work continues to be a privilege.

Snap together bookend design. Veneered hardwood plywood, polyurethane finish, and nothing else.

3d printed IPhone 5 case I designed at work in Autodesk Inventor, maybe getting mass produced eventually?

Bona fide cow hide. Somebody dropped by work with this project for me.  Texas!

Hello World!  My 1st 3d print on the Stratasys at my current job.  What is it?  You tell me.  Right now it's holding pens.  Modeled in Rhino 3D.

My pendant lamp design in laser cut 1/4" plywood and acrylic.  Under development.  Available soon.

Today's laser cutter experiment.  I'll be nudging this in to a lamp.  1/4" plywood and AutoCAD 2D

This one in particular was done by my coworker Jeremy.

No screws, no glue.  A sample puzzle table & drawer done on my old CNC machine.  I will be playing around with this concept more in the future.  Another one built from the 50 Digital Wood Joints pack.
