Coasters
The design is laser cut wood base, a wooden ring, and a cork circle in the middle. The cork is engraved with any design you want. I oiled the wood.

Hex Box
This is a jewelry box I made as a gift for my stepmother. Where the inlay is oiled lightly and the outer is darkly oiled. The inside has a hexagonal lattice shape which forms the inner structure for the outside to bond to. All of this was produced via a laser cutter.

Foraminifera Wall Hanging
Foraminifera are fossilized zooplankton and phytoplankton, aka tiny shells. My mom studied them for her PhD. So I made a wall hanging by vectorizing Earnest Haeckel’s drawings, then laser cutting them.

Prism (3D Printed)
This was my first test in 3d printing optics. The prism was printed on a Form 3 aka a SLA resin printer. As you can see with a bit of polishing I was able to make a working prism. This was advanced when I made a lens.

Turn-it-in Box
My mom was a teacher, she asked for a box for students to turn in papers. This is laser cut, and the back has hinges and a locking mechanism.

Lasercut Ukulele
As soon as I finished my guitar I realized how hard it was to play, so of course I decided to start on a ukulele. While technically the design is ready to print I never got around to it. The design was made as before in Solidworks and parametric so it can be laser cut…

Rocket Engine (abandoned)
At the end of senior year of highschool I started on a reusable rocket engine to test solid rocket propellant and the effect of different nozzle shapes on thrust. I CNC’d out the plates and then manual lathed out the pipe, then finally I welded the end cap to the pipe, but left the nozzle…

Lens (3D Printed)
3D printing lenses provides the ability to make custom lenses quickly, and more importantly cheaply. This lens was printed on a Form 3 following my prism project. It was subsequently sprayed with more resin to take advantage of surface tension and try to smooth things out, then it was put in a lathe and wet…

Parametric Bird Houses
This is a system by which any birdhouse can be generated. Simply put in the dimensions and open the SolidWorks file, it’ll alter the dimensions and the drawing file will have everything you need for that birdhouse. The design is laser cut.
