To be a good calf roper, it takes hours and hours of practice on a dummy. Seeing that I am not a good calf roper, I wanted to build something to practice on so I can become a casually skilled roper. With that in mind, I decided to create something that would be a fun…

For my project, I am building a dummy roping calf out of PVC pipe. I haven’t constructed things out of PVC pipe before, but I think I will be able to get the hang of it pretty quick. However, I would say that working with it is a known unknown. I’m sure I will run…

A few weeks ago, I was at a bison auction and met some very interesting people. One of the people I met got me in to roping on a dummy calf with a Lariat. It was a fun leisure activity to pass some down-time, and I thought it was such an interesting skill to have.…

I can write code in a lot of different languages, and I’m experienced with technical software like Excel, R Studio, Inventor, and SolidWorks. I also like working with more creative-based software, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Lightroom, Gimp, and Logic.…

I went through a frustrating design process creating my upcycle project. I knew what material I wanted to use, and I knew the general theme of what I wanted to make. However, I ended up throwing out a lot of ideas after I tested them for feasibility. I knew I wanted to make something I…
