B.Light Design

This weekend my nephew opened his one of a kind robot toy. I’m pretty much the best uncle ever, just saying.

Thanks for all the help Shelf.

Finally got to the electronics part of the project. LED eyes.

Also named the guy, C.A.N. Bot. I have no idea what C.A.N. stands for yet though.

Paint job! Powder coated a nice candy red.

Also put together an acrylic chest plate.

Got the head mechanism working and some other small odds and ends. Gettin there.

I’m putting together a toy robot this week, hopefully a certain 4 year old will like it.

Coffee can, chili peppers can, light fixture odds and ends, bolts, and a toggle switch. The robot is taking shape.

All of the controls will be on the back. Illuminated switches and buttons are fun, but my favorite part is a timer switch I pulled from a broken toaster oven.

After seeing Inception, I had to make my own totem. Two turned wooden tops (one oak, one ???), finished with tung oil and wax.

My sister had a baby last week and it’s a boy! So of course I made him wooden egg shaped Weeble Wobble like creatures. Why, what do you make newborn babies?

They wobble fine, still working on the not falling down part.
