The violin is still on schedule and should be completed on the 25th. I expect that there will need to be some adjustments made, however most of the parts have been completed and the aesthetic covering copper piece is still in tact. There are still a few things that I need in order to complete…

Aesthetic For my double pendulum violin design, I want to make this with a pair of artistic styles that will complement each-other. I want to combine Arts & Crafts aesthetic with a Baroque antiquity aesthetic. Because the Arts & Crafts movement was inspired heavily by the Baroque this should not be too challenging. For this…

Top 5 Specifications This is going to be a desk item. Therefore I will want it to be functional especially in its random motion This will need to be stable and sturdy. I want this to be able to spin without it rocking. This means that I will have to make a wide and heavy…

For this blogpost I will be talking about the plans to create this double pendulum violin design. I have searched ways in order to create a double pendulum and a good video source is shown below. There are a lot of manufacturing videos similar to this so I think I will have pretty good guidance…

This final project revolves around the idea of the double pendulum. I am interested in this design because of the interesting dynamic component. These designs are usually incorporated as desk toys. This design is very dynamic and will require a lot of precision in order to make sure things balance the way that I want…

Like many kids, when I was growing up I was exposed to many cartoons. There was a movie that was not quite cartoons that I watched and I really enjoyed. That movie was called Spirited Away. My family was very into these films and as a result we watched almost every movie made from this…

The construction of the biophilic violin picture frame was very successful. There are more design elements that will be added in the future; however, due to the constraints of the due date, I was not able to implement all of them The process shifted since the last post into a 4-step construction process Step 1:…

Manufacturing of the envisioned design is progressing well. As predicted, there would be a lot of fine detail that would need to be done to work with the unique geometry of the violin. Currently, manufacturing is being done with 3 steps Step 1: Disassembling of the current violin The violin has several steps necessary to…

For my upcycling project, I wanted to create something that I will be able to continue to use in the future. I will be creating a household item that follows in the Biophilic design aesthetic. This aesthetic was described in my previous post as integrating nature with human designs. Because of this, I will be…
