I use wood and acrylic to make real-world games, drink accessories, jewelry, home décor, and other pieces of functional art I design on my Mac. I sell my work, but this channel is about making it. Maybe you'll learn from my trials and errors, or maybe you'll laugh and share your wisdom.
Together, I hope we can:
(1) Have fun!
(2) Refine our skills using laser cutters and hand tools.
(3) Understand the strengths and weaknesses of different materials — flexibility, durability, how they cut and engrave.
(4) Find the most durable and attractive ways to glue and assemble different materials.
(5) Share finishing tips for masking, painting, etc.
I often have a pile of failed tries behind each product, which I recycle into scrap material for future experiments. Some products take me over a year to develop.
I'm always learning, fueled by the satisfying sense of accomplishment I feel when my design, research, and development lead to my new favorite product. Making great products is sheer joy.
