My first hobby car, other than my own daily jalopies, a 1967 VW Beetle. It had a 2110 cc engine and was shockingly fast. My friends had a love hate relationship with it because it was always breaking down on a drive, but it was fun to ride in and hilarious to see me step…

Since it’s spooky season, I thought I would make some Halloween themed light switch covers. I hadn’t had an excuse to use CAD lately, so I thought it would be fitting. I wanted something ornate and not overly cheesy, so I came up with a few designs. I did a bunch of spooky things, and…

Back in 2018 I had a smartwatch from Motorola, but the case broke where the strap connects to the case. This rendered it entirely useless, because there was no mechanically strong way to fix that point of the case. I noticed that models released after my watch had a different design for the strap attachment,…

I thought it might be prudent to show my CAD class portfolio in addition to my own designs, mostly because I don’t make very many drawings of my work. This is mostly due to the fact that my Fusion 360 license only allows 10 editable files, including drawings. I am often working from not less…

I have a diesel heater that I got for camping, and it works really well. However, it is a mess of wires and hoses, so I wanted to make an enclosure to keep the diesel tank, heater, and battery together as a unit. It needs to be able to intake and exhaust without anything getting…

I have a planted fish tank with some White Cloud Minnows, Celestial Pearl Danios, and Ramshorn Snails. I came back from a wedding out of town the other day and found that I had a few Danio fry in the tank. Not wanting them to get sucked into the filtration, I made them a refuge…

I am working on a project with a friend to make a guitar. We started last year, but school and the limitations of my machine got in the way. Now that I am done with school, I decided to take care of the other problem and make the machine larger. The previous machine gantry was…

I love the Toyota Tacoma, it’s a great truck. But it has 12 cup holders that won’t hold a 40 ounce water container, like a Nalgene, Hydroflask, or Takeya bottle. To rectify that, some users of the Tacomaworld forum have been using chalk bags crammed under a piece of trim to hold them in place.…

This was my biggest project to date, and was for a company called Quality of Life Plus, a non-profit org that helps disabled veterans get into hobbies and things that they otherwise couldn’t. It pairs engineering students with those in need to hopefully help out. So I was put on a team and I got…

I love Halloween, it is easily my favorite holiday. So of course I want to make things for Halloween that I can’t buy or are too expensive. First up is my favorite project that I’ve ever done: my Halloween candy dispenser. To make it, I started by making a big coffin from fence boards. I…
