Parrot multi-tool

 While my teacher was talking about something important, I got an idea for another multi-tool. this one is a parrot with 5 different tools.

• Seat belt cutter
• Oxygen key
• Bottle opener
• Hex wrench hole
• Pry bar or blade

I had EMS in mind. I wanted it small enough to fit in a pocket or hang on some keys, but I'd also like it to fit nicely in the hand and feel usable. also preferably I'd like it to be able to stand by itself.
I need to figure out how to make the seat belt cutter. I want it to be strong like an actual knife. I will probably have to find a good steel and learn how to sharpen and heat treat it. This will be a lengthy process

Fish multi-tool

After seeing many multi-tools in the shapes of animals on Instagram I decided I wanted to make one myself.  I knew a fish's mouth and tail could have the right shape for a hex nut. I wasn't sure what to put in between so I put more hex nut holes in. Every tool I've seen has a bottle opener so I decided to put that apart of the fin. Normally the eye of an animal is a place for a lanyard loop. My fish's eye is either a lanyard hole, or a hex wrench socket. That would be up to the users choice.

This was my first time using the Tech Shops CAD programs. I have the perfect tolerances and dimensions with the plastic pieces cut from a laser cutter. but when I take the same file and use it with the Water Jet Cutters outside, the holes shrink some how. so I am going to have to do some remolding to adjust for the difference.

This was done in mid July of 2015
