I've been recruited to make a Haunted house

I have been recruited to make an Alien autopsy room for a Haunted house in Tucson, at an abandoned court house.

I have made some new friends to work with

Erin Christiansen and I went to Home Depot for supplies!
The ply wood was so big, the only way to fit it in my car was to hold it about our heads.
I have a lot to do in here!

Fish decal

After heavy use of the decal maker tonight, I used my left over white vinyl to make a decal of my fish tool. It looks so cute ^_^

Ingress shirts & decals

I stumbled upon the Ingress community and thought I could make swag for them.

The following is
  • 2 shirts with Team Enlightened.  
  • car size decals. Green, blue, & white. 
  • Large Smart phone case sizes. green, blue, white & black
  • smaller iPhone case sizes. green, blue, white &  black
I made white and black so you wouldn't have to show what side you are on, and could be safe from opposing team rivalry

my version of a Hoberman wheel

my ultimate goal is to make an expanding mobile. but first I have to figure out the expanding part. My inspiration for this is the hoberman sphere toy. 

I took the left over styrene from my summer classes, and cut out rectangles.  Then I started putting them together.
So far so good.
There are 30 X pairs.. I may have made this one too big, cause it can stretch longer than my arms length.


One of my classmates decided to make a coral around my chair. I think he tried to trap me in it.

How I make a pen holder

After I made the Wooden coasters, I still had time with the laser cutter.  I decided to make some pen holders and capture the step by step process.
 This is a machine that creates enough heat on a single line of space, that lets you bend acrylic precisely.
 This is a bending station. It lets you choose and set any angled degree from 0 to 180



I glued blue pieces of acrylic to the orange pen stand to give it a 3D look. It looks really cool!

Tucson Coffee Roaster Coasters

There is so much left over wood in the Tech shop this week. I wanted to explore all that I can with it.
I continue to use the Tucson Coffee Roasters logo. Experimenting with the rasterize strengths.  I was able to get many different engraving effects
I gave these to the owners for free.

Neon gear pendants

I liked my first gear pendant so much I wanted to make more. Here are the makings of 3 different ones. I bought anew purple colored acrylic and I put holes in the large gear.
I managed to put one together in time to give it to an Instagram friend

This is what it looks like with black light on it
