For my final project I designed an LED “neon” sign. This sign represents my love of aircraft, and incorporates symbols from my future flight training. A simple timeline of my project can be found below: After Completing my initial design I began ordering my supplies. A majority of my materials came from Amazon, to include…

For my final project I designed an LED neon sign. This was not my original design; until mid-March I had planned on constructing a wooden propeller. My original project was inspired by my love for aviation. The propeller is a classic symbol of aircraft; it is even used to symbolize the heritage of air power…

For my final project I am making an LED “neon” sign with the two aircraft I will fly at pilot training and the unit/program name. Before I began construction I had to finalize my design. I originally planned on making a wooden propeller, but due to COVID-19 I had to pivot to a new creation.…

One of the aesthetics I like most is minimalism. I am not one to enjoy over-ornamentation. I think that this has its place in some contexts, such as historical architecture, but I would not purchase anything for my home of this nature. I prefer items with simple, sleek designs. This is especially true when it…

When looking for Youtube videos on build/design I decided to look for segments related to my project. I was able to find a few videos related to my topic that can be found below.   This first video uses similar lights to what I am using but he attaches it to acrylic using u-channel brackets.…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic I have had to shift my main project from creating a wood propeller to making an LED “Neon Sign”. This shift was driven by the fact that I lost access to the wood shop and therefore could not make my design. I got the Idea for this project from Chris…

For my final project I am planning on making a propeller out of wood. I would like to make a propeller for my final project because I love all things aviation. Ever since I was young I have been fastened by flight. Some of my earliest memories are of planes; a majority of my toys…

The following post will describe the 5 main design constraints I intend to follow when making my wooden replica propeller. These constraints will serve to guide my project toward my desired outcome of creating a realistic retro replica propeller. The first constraint I plan to follow is the aesthetic of my project. I want to…

For my main project I plan to make a vintage propeller from wood planks. The reason I want to do this is because I love all things aviation, and propellers are timeless symbols of flight. In order to accomplish this I plan on following the rough plan outlined in the image below. I decided that…

In this game we had to merge an object and an aesthetic. Our object was a Tiki-bar and our aesthetic was a book-bag.  Members that contributed to this were Austin Ross, Joe Knapp, Davis Butte and myself Noah Verspohl.

Vison The vision for my project came to me as I was about to fall asleep one night. Originally I thought that I was going to craft a bowl or cup out of a log, but it didn’t feel quite right. I was thinking of other things but couldn’t nail anything down until an idea…

For my upcycling project I plan to create a piece of wall art from an old brake rotor off my dirt bike.  Dirt biking has been a defining hobby of mine since sophomore year of high school. I started off riding a trail bike, but quickly realized I wanted to do more than just putt…

Since the Wright brothers first took flight aircraft have caught the public’s eye. In the beginning this was mainly because of the marvelous feet that these machines accomplished, but as time progressed the aircraft themselves began to get attention. In the era of World War II inventors like Howard Hughes revolutionized flight with the introduction…
