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.

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 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.

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

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.

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
