McLaren Suits.

2012-01-25T13:33:00.000-06:00

These are the various practice suits Lewis and Jenson wore in the 2011 season. My favorite was the all black one worn at the Italian Grand Prix.

McLaren seems to be always doing something creative, hopefully this will continue in the 2012 season!

2012-01-24T13:20:00.001-06:00

Earlier this week I read that kimi was coming back to f1. He is back from his weird venture into nascar(whack). Found this cool video of him doing some shake downs with his new team lotus.And finally the rumors are confirmed with Bruno Senna being signed with williams.

I'm looking forward to the 2012 season, only 51 days till the first race in Melbourne, Australia.

I love thanksgiving because I get to see my family and my rad cousin Geri. She has such a strong/free spirit and pushes for me to have the same. Ever since I could remember she would tell me to travel, create, and pursue anything/everything my heart desired. I love her for this because for years she would secretly whisper these thing to me behind my protective mother's back. Her strength and belief in me has truly made a huge impact in my life, I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.

Chair project:legs

2011-04-26T16:49:00.001-05:00

Last time I posted it was about making the mold for the backrest. The veneer from the backrest hasn’t arrived yet so I’m moving onto the metal legs and brackets. For the design I wanted to fuse my love of cars with this chair. To achieve this I used thread rods with solid rod ends similar to most adjustable suspension links.Metal brackets had to be designed and fabricated to attach the legs to the base and sitting area.I have yet to finish grinding and painting the brackets but you get the idea.

2011-04-25T16:52:00.002-05:00

I've had this design made for a while. So on thursday I went up to tf to get them cut... I think they turned out pretty good. lmk know if your interested in some.

Chair project: backrest

2011-04-21T03:47:00.000-05:00

first step is to make the mold for the backrest that will be later press in a vacuum bag. The mold is made out of sandwiched 5/8" particle board cut to different lengths to give the rest its concave shape.For the veneer to have a good glue up the mold needs to be perfectly smooth... bring on the bondo.I defined the shape with a wood rasp and sanded it with 120 and 220 grit.

Chair project.

2011-04-20T03:16:00.002-05:00

So I'm in a furniture design and construction class this semester at school. The goal of the class is to design and build a piece of furniture within the 15 week semester. My professor basically told the class that its going to be hard to design and finish a seating piece in the time frame. So that scared all of my classmates into making shelving and small coffee tables. So i wanted to designed a chair because I'm hardheaded and shelving/tables are boring to me. My design is a modern take on a shop stool/drum throne. The spherical seating area and bottom base will be made of solid maple. The back rest out will be molded out of maple veneer. The three legs will be aluminum hex with steel solid rod ends similar to adjustable toe rods on a car. The chair itself will be able to move with three spherical polyurethane casters.
