Odds and Sods
A random assortment of things I'd like to share that might not need their own page
A long time ago, I had the opportunity to help repair some damaged instrument cluster housings and refit the magnetic attachment points. Pretty great day in the shop.
Along those lines and years later, I spent a few weeks in the reds of RA Stage at pinewood making it snow. It's a small galaxy out there some times.
It looked a little something like this. (NOT my photo, I have an alibi - I was up in the reds making it snow). I just happened to find this online.
A few fabrication projects (MIG Welding). Nothing too special, but I wanted to include some of it on here.
A few turning projects. Again nothing amazing, I don't often take pictures of them. I'll have to see if I can find any examples of milling machine work.
When shipping airplane parts abroad I had to come up with a custom packing solution to roll everything into a shipping container.
Not my design, but I was tasked with fabricating it and inserting a micro switch into the handle. Fun project with lots of skills: milling, turning, oxy-acetylene, brazing .
Early proof of concept for a resetting table. The three items on the table all showed different additional effects (left to right spinning, items spilling out, clear vessel with liquid). One linear actuator was used to reset the items and a second was used to steady the table. If the project moved forward I was going to build a larger dance floor to arrest the table properly.
I quickly built some wooden bar tables and made seats out of buckets for this early jerk rig test. *Jerk rigs are standard SFX kit, not my design or fabrication.
A quick SolidWorks design and then 3D print I made for a proof of concept mockup. A blast of air would send a number of spheres out in all directions from a central cylinder. The digital model was a life saver when the spheres changed size from ping pong ball to golf ball size, as well as the number of objects could easily be changed (5 to 7 etc.)
Possibly the only 'real world' job I've ever done - retrofitting a pneumatic tailstock for an air spring manufacturing company.
Riverside smoke spot with a little friend.
You wouldn't know it, but this was the middle of the night in Iceland. It was March so the sun barely ever set. I got to play (ahem, work) in the ocean.
I'm pretty good about not getting caught in the back of the shot... most of the time. This time though it was published in Empire Magazine.
