Projects

From 3D-printed lamps to Arduino experiments, here are some of the engineering and maker projects I've been working on. Starting with Airfix kits and graduating to a basement woodworking shop, I've always enjoyed building things — now mostly with my students in mind.

3D Printed Lamp Post

A full-scale outdoor lamp post designed in CAD, printed in sections, assembled and installed in the front garden. A great example of thinking big with desktop 3D printing.
