My development is coming along, and I've pinned down a my inspiration and core motivation for this project.  Check it out.

craft, sw practice

Updating my Solidworks knowledge with this little exercise.  I hope to infuse some beauty into this concept I have for my "craft" bike.

glorification of craftsmanship, process

In the development of a product so many aspects of the initial prototype are lost in mass production. I am interested in the journey or process to make something, specifically the glorification of bicycle craftsmanship. This is an exploration in, honest manufacturing, showcasing the depth of assembly, and provocative skeletal aesthetics.

Simond Chamonix Spider Quickdraw

I've been trying to get some modeling practice in on the weekends.  Here's a Simond Chamonix Spider Carabiner assembled in quickdraw spec.  I originally bought this carabiner, because it challenged a lot of the standards in basic carabiner design.  Having modeled it now, I respect its design even more so.  This piece posesses an extensive amount of aluminum bending and machining knowlege.  Impressive.

I'm long over due...

...posting here. I have several ideas in the works to redo my city bike. Single sided, "light throwing wheels", more voluminous symbiotic storage, & travel ready.
