Side by side comparison between the two floodlights that I designed.
![Large LED Floodlight](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2bf289_78f3f113b28f4719aa37749941fa13b0~mv2_d_3264_2448_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_110,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/2bf289_78f3f113b28f4719aa37749941fa13b0~mv2_d_3264_2448_s_4_2.jpg)
I 3D modeled and printed the housing to contain the rechargeable LiPo battery, amplifier, heat sink, lens, and handle with on/off switch.
![Small LED Floodlight](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2bf289_5931b9a366e84271bc1aad8c920a0797~mv2_d_3264_2448_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_110,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/2bf289_5931b9a366e84271bc1aad8c920a0797~mv2_d_3264_2448_s_4_2.jpg)
Contains the same LED diode and amplifier as the large floodlight, but does not have as large of a heat sink, lens or battery allowing for a much more compact design.

I was tired of handling a naked circuit board, so I printed a case!
![Security System](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2bf289_837e0216b5884db7b08cbe46f6899a86~mv2_d_3264_2448_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_110,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/2bf289_837e0216b5884db7b08cbe46f6899a86~mv2_d_3264_2448_s_4_2.jpg)
This security system utilizes an Arduino to control a numerical keypad, fingerprint scanner, LCD display, and two solenoid locks.
![3D Printed Casting](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2bf289_29a374b85b774f9fb0169c00aaada9ba~mv2_d_2448_3264_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/2bf289_29a374b85b774f9fb0169c00aaada9ba~mv2_d_2448_3264_s_4_2.jpg)
I 3D printed multiple of the same part to cast in aluminum.

I built this stand to hold my solar panel for an upcoming project. This will be the source of power for my aquaponic rig this spring.
![Electrochromic Gel](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2bf289_72503a94c2c44a2481717afcda849aef~mv2.gif)
I designed an electrochromic gel to be used in conjunction with a flexible substrate to allow for fully flexible electrochromic cells.
![Electrochromic Cell](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2bf289_14736833ee7b4e0f8bcaa260952df913~mv2_d_2448_3264_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/2bf289_14736833ee7b4e0f8bcaa260952df913~mv2_d_2448_3264_s_4_2.jpg)
This is an flexible electrochromic cell that I designed. It operates off off two AA batteries.

I made a leather armor cuirass & pauldrons for a renaissance festival. This started out as one large sheet of raw leather that I patterned, cut, dyed, and riveted together.

I built a nice 10" sub box using a Sono tube (concrete form) and a few pieces of hardware. I got the amp and wiring during a Black Friday sale and the speaker from a garage sale. The whole setup was less than $100!

I came across this amazing Panasonic projector at a local surplus store. The projector had a mounting bracket already installed on it, however buying the other half to mount the projector would have cost more than I had paid for the projector itself! Therefore I fabricated my own projector mount.
Below are some of my recent projects.
