Indoor Climbing Wall
During the covid-19 pandemic, all of the local climbing gyms were closed and as a result, my brothers and I eventually got really bored at home. It was around the end of March 2019, when my brothers and I decided that we would build a climbing wall in our living room. The two month project consisted of building a 17ft wall which was attached to studs along the living room wall. The wall has a flat vertical portion and a sloped 30-degree portion to provide for different types of climbing. Because we had spent do much money on the wood for the frame, all of the holds of the wall were hand-carved by pieces of wood from old pieces of furniture or 3-d printed. My brother, an art student, found some old paints and gave the wall a paint job. This was by far one of the most exciting woodworking projects I've worked on and being able to 3-d model and print climbing holds was a lot of fun!
Horticultural Sprayer
This project involved the redesign of a horticultural sprayer that one of our clients had produced. This project aimed to do 3 things. First, in order to simplify the manufacturing process of the device, we had to make it consist of two main parts that could be manufactured using similar processes. Second, the company services an industry of professionals who work in the field so the device had to be intuitive to use and had to be sturdy. Finally, because the device is large, shipping costs were expensive and we needed to find a way to reduce weight and size. In order to meet these requirements, we conducted lots of market research to look at competing devices in the industry and met with the client regularly to make sure we were meeting his vision.
Fishing Lure Manufacturing Device
This device aimed to speed up the manufacturing time for a company that produced fishing lures. Given a fishing lure, we were tasked with creating a device that could bend wire as it was in the lure and perform that process repeatedly, fast and efficiently. Since a device that did exactly what the client specified did not yet exist, this project was unlike anything I did. The device had many moving parts and I even ended up using a spring loaded component in my design which required testing and specification. After many 3d prints and prototypes, we finally settled on a design which we took to the machine shop to get manufactured.
Window Treatment Framing
This project was for a company which installed window treatments and specialized in blackout curtain technology. Since windows are not always perfectly 90-degrees, window frames can be hard to install and especially when they need to block out all sunlight. In order to solve this problem, we created a piece which can be attached at the corners of the window, ensuring that the window framing is straight and flat against the windows frame. This device also matches the window frame extrusions that are currently being used by the company.
