DISCO TIME

Image
And voila! Here is the set of renders for the Eyewear project!!  Honestly I really really really want to see this project come to fruition because I think this is great. Soooo I actually am already in the process of fabricating it haha. I have a couple of different suplies already so heres my plan: Things I already own/have made in the past: tiny disco ball - Got from dollar store ball bearing mechanism (to enable the disco ball to spin) - Got from Princess Auto stem - Got from a plastic stick and cut it down phone (which has a prerecording of the Commodores and EW&F on repeat, and also acts as the dance floor because I downloaded a FREE strobe app on it that flashes colours to the beat of the music) mirrors on the sides to acts as disco walls - Got from work (I work in a frame shop and LEGALLY took scrap mirror pieces)  Things I need to 3D print! I would be uploading the model up to the Shapeways website and probably getting someone else

CNC Tahitian Uke

This is the process that happened post digitization of the Tahitian Uke. Jon and I had to do the design in two separate parts.               After they were done, I cut them out of the foam base ... ... and started to sand them down, except the process was very violent and led to the accidental emancipation of limbs... I then put the two parts together and voila! A mini Turtle Tahitian Ukulele! I am actually very impressed with how this turned out!!  I'm super excited to push this further and make a bigger version of this out of wood and then I can string it and actually be able to play it!! all I need now is the time to do it haha I already have it sized to fit within the 17x20 window that the woodshop CNC mill can operate within and named the file Tony Montana so you know this'll be good .
