Beach Disposal Prototype 2.0
I mastered the thread on this model and the screw-on effect is much smoother. I want to add a loop on the side for my next print, so that I can attach it to my bag with a caribener.

Featured Project
Water Bottle Adapter
My hydroflask didn't fit into my car's cupholders, so I designed and 3D-printed a water bottle adapter for my car's cupholders and hydroflask size. This is my favorite project so far because it's become a functional part of my everyday life.
Other Projects
First Time on Wooden Lathe
My first time trying the wooden lathe. I practiced using different kind of tool shapes and testing on some scrap wood I found. Overall, came out well and I'd love to use this machine more.
Completed: November 2025
First try at CNCing Boomerangs
I fully modeled these boomeranags myself, and I plan on sanding the complete one when I have time. But the CNC messed up and the bit fell out runining the cut out for one of the boomerangs. Still cool to see my models come to life.
Completed: November 2025
3D Print Fishing Disposal
I completely modeled this myself, and it took around 3 tries to print the threading to work correctly. I'm happy with how this turned out, the hooks work to keep fishing string in and the pocket is for hooks. I'll use this to cleanup spots I'm fishing at and help the environment.
Completed: November 2025
Mini Laser Cut Box
I tried lasering a wooden box out, but the tolerances came out wrong so the pieces didn't fit completely. I will come back and try to laser something that properly fits next time, but it was good practice.
Completed: November 2025
Cleaned Trout Plasma Cut & Welded Art Stand
This project combined two other projects to create neat room art. I cleaned up trout plasma cut with grinder and sprayed coating. Used T-Weld to create a stand for the trout cut-out.
Completed: October 2025
Wooden FIshing Rod Holders
After freehand-sketching a model on Fusion, I CNCed these fishing rod holders. I then use the roter to curve the edges for a nicer finish.
Completed: October 2025
Weld Art
After gaining some confidence with MIG welding, I attempted to make an art piece out of scrap metal where I use multiple weld angles. I sand blasted and grinded the scrap metal.
Completed: October 2025
First Mig T-Weld
After some practice with MIG welding, tried doing a T-Weld to create a miniature stand for other projects. Welds came out well and strong.
Completed: October 2025
First MIG Welds
First time MIG welding on 16 gauge steel. Practiced using a swirling technique and correct speed/distance to create useful beads.
Completed: October 2025
Plasma Cut Trout
This project involved translating a 2D image into a vector-based sketch using Fusion 360. The design was then programmed via CAM to control a plasma cutter, resulting in a precise metal art piece. It showcases skills in digital design, manufacturing processes, and machine operation.
Completed: September 2025
3D Printed Flywheel
CADed 3D printed Flywheel used as a large scale model of future prototypes for engines and other projects.
Completed: August 2025
Surfboard Holders
A practical project to organize and display surfboards. Designed and installed custom wall-mounted holders using hand-tools.
Completed: January 2025
3D Printed Crossbow
An interactive 3D print that incorporates spring mechanics and string tension to create a functional, projectile-launching model.
Completed: December 2024
Video Game Knife Replica
Created a 3D printed replica of a video game knife, featuring a synthetic rope handle wrap for an authentic look and feel.
Completed: December 2024
Articulated Snake 3D Print
An intermediate, multi-part 3D print designed with articulated joints to allow for realistic, snake-like movement.
Completed: November 2024
Lucky Cat 3D Print
Our first project using a Creality 3D printer. A quick and simple print to learn the basics of slicing and machine operation.
Completed: October 2024
PVC Fishing Rod Holders
A cheap and effective solution to keep fishing rods out of the sand and water at the beach, constructed from PVC pipes.
Completed: September 2024
