This is a 5 axis cnc router I designed and built as a personal project. The linear stages were found by a friend of a friend dumpster diving, back when I was in school.   I welded the frame together from off cuts found at the local metal supply house.   The electronics cabinet was also as salvaged enclosure.

This was a quick two day project to make an automated circuit board programmer for the Rondo project.

This is a housing and attachment mechanism, I designed and engineered, for Dysonics Rondo Motion Application.    The "Head Tracker"  is a bluetooth 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyro that tracks the heads movement.  The housing was designed to be able to mount to any over the ear type of headphones.

For this project I adapted the architects drawings for fabrication via our CNC router.   Then in collaboration with Larry Hitchcock of Intrepid Marine we fabricated the bench and assembled on site in a Sonoma winery. This project was a bridge project for me, bridging my first carrier as carpenter craftsman with the digital craftsmanship learned in design school.

This was my own project I came up with, while working with Blackbird Guitars.   In a need for a bunch of guitar stands for NAMM.  Somehow I came up with the idea that I needed to use  racketballs as padding for the guitar.   While I wouldn't advise it to others,  I thermoformed the acrylic myself in my oven at home.

Adapted traditional guitar making techniques for the making of carbon fiber guitars.   Alas I am no longer involved with them, but they are still creating an excellent product here in San Francisco, check out their poduct here: BlackbirdGuitars.com
