From Sketch to Thing
May 11th, 2022I love how close the final pieces are to the original napkin sketches Gabe BC made. I designed and built both of these pieces a few years back, but just came across the sketches today.

Holy Roller
April 27th, 2022
I designed and fabricated the enclosure for Gabe Barcia-Colombo’s piece, Holy Roller. Multiple screens, a computer, and a slot machine handle have been tucked inside.
“The “Holy Roller” is a slot machine that uses machine learning to generate new pieces of life advice upon every pull of the handle. The piece is fed 500,000 quotes from throughout history and generates a new completely unique one for each person who pulls the lever on the machine.”
Mechanism Prototype
March 26th, 2022I breadboarded a potential mechanism for a project I plan on calling “Not a Horse”. The feel of it is quite nice. A half turn of the knob gives me nearly nine inches of travel.
No. 7 and No. 3

Footstool
March 25th, 2022
Turned footstool, the top is birch plywood and the legs are some nice figured walnut.
Wooden Caddy
March 25th, 2022
Milled a little wooden caddy. My favorite part is the cork on the bottom.
Oval Frames
March 25th, 2022
Some CNC’d, hand finished oval frames. I really like the washer system for holding the glass and pictures in place. I think there will be a lot more ovals to come.
Cow Piggy Bank
March 25th, 2022
Quick CNC’d cow piggy bank prototype. I’m thinking walnut for the final one.
