Been milling some wooden Voltron parts, the Blue Lion to be exact. Showing some students how to use the 4 axis mill. Using the fantastic files from Jurica Pranjic.

My vacuum formed project enclosure got a really nice mention on Maker Project Lab (starts around the 6 minute mark).

Take a look at the YouTube channel, some really good stuff. Thanks for the mention Donald.

While we’re on the subject of finishes, I just got this one anodized flat black. It looks great, but it also feels great. Nice work Tru-Tone Metals.

The Hereafter Institute Locket (both Original and Black Editions) will be on display at LACMA this weekend. If you’re in the LA area, check it out.

Been experimenting with some different aluminum finishes lately. Got the mirrored finish down pretty good, but I’ve also been tumbling parts with brass screws. Tumbled on left, sanded on right. I really like how old, dirty, and pitted the parts come out.

One of the projects I worked on for the Hereafter Institute is the Locket, a wearable memorial.

This summer I’ve been working on some projects for the Hereafter Institute.

Gabriel Barcia-Colombo has launched the Hereafter Institute, where participants will have the opportunity to plan their digital afterlife and learn about the artist’s proposed technological solutions for the preservation of the digital soul.

In a private consultation, the artist and his team will introduce options for digital preservation including 3D body scanning, wearable memorialization, and the embedding of personal data into everyday objects.

If you are in the LA area this weekend, you should check it out.

What a great team, project, and experience.

Doing some Robot Minions for the birthday girl. I like how they are shaping up.

Make: asked for a video introduction to the Robot Recipe Projects I’ve been working on. Thanks for all of the help on the video Gabe.

Doing some experiments with reclaimed wine barrel staves. I really like how the wine stained the oak.

I’m very honored to have had my 2×4 Project Enclosure published in Make: Magazine. Very cool, thanks Donald.
