Retro-Futurist Goggles





Modeling
Modeled in Fusion 360. Lens assembly retrofitted from old digital camera.


3D Print
Printed on an Ultimaker S5.



Final Product
Painted, finished, (Spray poly on dark areas, amber shellac on faux wood, satin clear coat on faux metal) and functional.











Test and final demonstrations of lens mechanism. Thankfully, the lens assembly was driven by one very small motor, and I was able to re-solder the leads and repurpose it for this piece. LED inserts were panel lights purchased from McMasterCarr, center dial also purchased from McMaster. Motor control ended up being a little sub optimal- turning on and off the motor as you can see is extremely manual. Someday I’ll design something to sense the current the motor draws to stop it when it stalls.

Nightstand




Glue Up


In Progress
Constructed out of poplar with pine legs (This was built out of scrap, and there was no poplar long enough for legs ☹) But hey, they finished up nice! It’s still my nightstand, too. I’m just very careful.


Final Product




Ottoman. Sugar pine, red velour. Custom upholstery, piping, frame, and cabriole legs. In defense of the pine, it was a class project. I promise I'll stop.

Custom candlestick, maple.
