B.Light Design

Finally installed the vacuum formed heart, I made a few months back, into a robot.

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.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the MAD Museum last week. I got a chance to work on some stacked lamination experiments.

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.

I will be working at the Museum of Arts and Design from Jan 19th to Jan 22nd. Stop on by and say hello.

“Watch artist Ben Light as he creates table lamps combining the method of stack lamination with the latest digital fabrication techniques. Visitors will see Light transform the most basic of materials—wood, on a large lathe to produce lamps that are both functional and sculptural.”

Tuesday, Jan 19, 10am to 5pm
Wednesday, Jan 20, 10am to 5pm
Thursday, Jan 21, 1pm to 8pm

I’m teaching a new class this semester called Reinventing the Wheel, a design and engineering studio based around the wheel. So there will be a lot of round, rolling experiments in my future.

Also been doing some experiments with some milled plywood. More to come.

Been milling some wheel designs lately. More to come.

Just got all of these tools in the mail the other day. Can’t wait to use them all.
