As this is the is the last post of the year regarding the final project I will give a full overview of the jewelry box design process including: inspirations, vision of function and form, initial sketches, final design plans, fabrication process, and the complete product assembly. That way my entire design is in one place…

The final bit of this project has been solidifying secondary operations on the jewelry box. I was able to make the rectangular cutout in the lid for the stained glass. Using the scroll saw I was able to make that cutout in the center of the panel. Because the scroll saw is very sensitive it…

Since my design preview report, I was able to acquire all materials and start fabrication! From Hobby Lobby I got a brush set, black and gold paint, wood glue, and a couple different types of hinges along with a wood carving tool to create my pattern work. The stained glass was easiest to acquire from…

INSPIRATIONS As I have mentioned in my previous posts I am continuing with the Art Deco style jewelry box with the stained glass arrangement on the lid. My inspiration comes from my fascination with the intricacy of church architecture mainly seen in European countries. I have a decent amount of jewelry so I think creating…

For my final project I have decided to move forward with the Art Deco and stained glass combination for the jewelry box! I believe this will contribute a level of intricacy, detail, and the artistic intent that I want to have in the final display.  Top Five Specifications: -I want the material of the jewelry…

The idea for my jewelry box stems from two aesthetics. Minimalism or the Art Deco with a stained-glass addition. Minimalism from a personal standpoint is how I view my life and my spaces. I prefer simplicity, cleanliness, organization and natural earthy vibes. For that reason, the first idea would be a very plain and simple…

For the final project I want to draw on my liking of minimalism, cozycore, and a woodworking aspect. Due to my tendencies of always keeping my space clean, neat, and arranged I want to make good use of this project and my home space. My father has always been a big inspiration in my life…

The (two) designers I admire are the founders of the brand Patta. My fascination with the world of HypeBeast, pop culture, and sneaker releases are where the Dutch duo Edson Sabajo and Guillaume ‘Gee’ Schmidt  step in. They bonded in the 90’s in the nightlife scene; saw a gap in the market in Amsterdam and…

Vision: My vision for this project comes mainly from my passion for high performance vehicles. This has always been at the forefront of my academic ambition and the reason why I went into mechanical engineering. I have always pictured myself in the automotive motorsports industry: Formula 1, Moto GP, and the likes. Mechanical Engineering is…

As described in my initial post, my main idea was to create a paperweight sized motorcycle made solely out of nuts, bolts, and screws. While the expected budget for this product was approximately $150, a goal of mine was the minimize the manufacturing costs as much as possible. Because I wanted to keep costs as…

My passion for high performance vehicles has always been at the forefront of my academic ambition. I have always pictured myself in the automotive motorsports industry: Formula 1, Moto GP, and the likes. Mechanical Engineering is something that embodies that. When I think of Mechanical Engineering down to its core, I think of nuts and…

I chose the streetwear aesthetic because it resonates with my daily style and I believe many others. It is a very casual and comfortable style yet trendy. This aesthetic includes very expensive shoes, graphic t-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, mom jeans, and vintage accessories. This aesthetic first became popular in the 1990’s surrounding the hip hop rise…
