My favorite design video is “A Robot Shoots Me When I Get Shot in Fortnite” by Michael Reeves on YouTube. Michael Reeves is a self taught programmer that uses his skills in programming and designing for silly and unorthodox projects such as this one. He adds a lot of satirical humor and comedy that makes…

Logistics With the current COVID-19 outbreak, all of the university resources and wood shops have closed. This has forced me to become a little more resourceful when fabricating my project.  Luckily I have already purchased all the materials I will need for Home Depot. Also, fortunately, my dad has many tools that I can use…

Introduction As COVID-19 continued to spread forcing the campus to close, I grew more worried about how I would complete my project. Thankfully, however, I was able to fully fabricate it with the use of my Dad’s tools at home. There’s no doubt the final product would’ve turned out better had I had access to…

After looking for some inspiration and doing some research, I decided on making my project fit into a utilitarian aesthetic. To me, this means that the design should be simple and straightforward while also providing a lot of functionality and use. This aesthetic involves a simple look and could mean “what you see is what…

For my project however, I want to limit the design to a very simple and rugged look and fit into an aesthetic that suits that look. Size: I need to make sure that the…

INSPIRATION For my final project, I decided to make a simple but functional tripod chair. When doing research and looking for some inspiration on what I could do for my project, I stumbled onto a video showing how to make a “DIY” or “do-it-yourself” tripod chair. This video showed how to make a simple tripod…

Fabrication Plans For the fabrication process, I plan on buying the materials needed which will be listed below. Once I have all materials purchased, I plan to start fabrication by drilling hole through each wooden dowel so that I can insert the bolts though them to create the structure for the legs. After this, I’ll…

For my main project inspiration, I was thinking about making a tripod stool. I was planning on creating this stool using wooden rods and creating a paracord seat. The functions of this project include being a portable stool that can be used for camping or outings while the paracord seat could be used in emergency…

Introduction / Vision I started this project with an initial idea of using old paper wrappers and folding them into origami cranes and making a project out of that. This idea worked well with my desired aesthetic of “Chinese”. Thankfully however, after doing more research and idea searching, I came across an idea to make…

So far, I’ve started gathering plastic spoons and I’ve collected a few empty soda bottles. I will still need to get a light bulb cord and a light bulb for my project. I’ve also started considering the different shapes I could create. I did some more research on the idea I had for my project…

For my upcycle project, I drew inspiration from the internet. I searched the internet for ideas on upcycling and came across an idea that seemed artistic yet functional. The main material I am planning on using will be plastic spoons. I plan on creating a lamp using the heads of the plastic spoons as decoration.…
