Just finished up an overhaul to the website with some new projects!
I normally do not post anything other than my own work on this Tumblr. However when I got ahold of Magpul’s Executive Field Case for the iPhone 4 I had to give them some credit. While I love a naked iPhone, working in the shop can be a bit dirty and is not the safest environment for a bare glass back. But really, most of the cases on the market are cheap (and for good reason), or too expensive with poor functionality.
This case has the best feel and fit of any case out there, it is surprisingly slim. They use their proprietary polymer that feels perfect in the hand, hard yet soft and grippy. The quality is top notch and the design is well thought out, buttons are covered and feel great. And best of all, its made in the US.
Hook system prototype. Testing it out.
Picked up an old Delta lathe last weekend. Figure it’s from about ‘55. I have been cleaning the body and re-greasing the bearings. Needs a new belt, and the motor needs to be remounted. Will be a nice addition to the shop.
A sneak peak at the collection of handmade items to be released spring 2013.
Parts and templates for the new stool prototype.
Delta drill press all cleaned up and purring like a kitten. It is hard to believe this thing is going on 80.
Prototype hook.
Material exploration.
I have been occupying my time with a new addition to the shop. My great grandfather in-law’s Delta drill press from the early 30’s. Rewiring and rebuilding motor and cleaning everything up. Should look pretty nifty when it is done.
New table I am in the middle of. A quilted pattern forms the top, which is made of scraps.
