To sum up my time in this class, I was able to really hone in on my wood working skills, sketching ability, and ideation from start to finish on both of my projects. I created something very practical out of a random stump and something that looks awesome and is useful to me. My previous…

I was able to get everything I wanted out of my projects this semester. My end product did not stray too far from the original other than the change in hex design and GITD circuit design I was planning to do. The biggest thing I learned from this project is that spray painting can be…

To begin this project I was concerned about the difficulty of creating a cosplay sword out of pure wood. Especially one with complex edges and contours. I wanted to pursue creating something that I would actually use and as I am planning a Cosplay of the character (Emiya) from Fate Stay Night: UBW as shown…

So far I’ve been able to get all the materials I need, but have hit a snag trying to find time to get into the workshop with other things coming into play. I was able to make a cardboard cutout that was an inch too big on the blade but still helped me trace out…

Comparing the Aesthetics from this design, being mostly fantasy and gothic, I could see the design relating somewhat to art deco with the way the hexagonal pattern is done and relating to organic design with how one side of the swords are really curvy while the other has sharper points with it. Though the aesthetics…

The timeline for my construction will be to have my outlines and materials gathered by the end of this week. The next week will be spent shaping the two swords via jigsaws, grinders, and dremels. I approximate the actual work taking two hours per sword, with the only difficulty finding time to head into the…

by Takeuchi Takashi The inspirations that I had for my final project come from the show Fate/Stay Night UBW. The character pictured above uses two swords (Kanshou and Bakuya) he creates himself inspired by a Chinese folklore of a blacksmith couple called Gan Jiang and Mo Ye. The story can be found in the book,…

My first constraint for this project is making sure the materials I use do not create something extremely heavy and annoying to carry around. Since this prop does not need to be used functionally as a sword and only as something for show I want the material to be light. The next constraint would be…

For my Final Project I am between doing three things the first is designing and building a gaming chair like the ones seen here: DXRacer Formula Series DOH/FD01/N Newedge Edition Racing Bucket Seat Office Chair Gaming Chair Ergonomic Computer Chair eSports Desk Chair Executive Chair Furniture Pillows (Black) This would be very valuable and add…

To begin this project I thought about which material I wanted to use. I wanted something that gave me a lot room for creativity and didn’t push me into a certain style. I also thought about what functionality do I want to get out of this project and not make something that has no purpose…

Contributors include: Joseph Coulombe, Andres Esteve Our group received snowblower and tiny homes as our aesthetic. At first it was challenging but we soon figured out how we wanted to create our designs.

When I first began my project I wanted something functional, unconventional, and themed around skulls. One, because I want to you this item after this project finishes, two, because I wanted it to be different, and three, I like skulls which is why my first post was on Calaveras. Thinking further I had gotten a…

The Aesthetic for Calaveras first began appearing around the 17th century but has had roots in Aztec, Mayan, and Toltec cultures. Calavera directly translates to skull but has a certain style differing from the style more prevalent in American like Gothic, Biker, or Pirate themes. It stems from not only honoring the dead but creating…
