Support for ideas, prototypes, and practical builds

Design Inquiries

Turn mechanical ideas into manufacturable designs, files, and prototypes. Whether developing a new product or improving an existing concept, I focus on creating precise, functional designs that bridge the gap between innovation and manufacturable reality.

Consulting

With a focus on functionality, material performance, and manufacturability, I provide guidance to help evaluate processes, solve technical challenges, and shape projects into reliable, well-executed outcomes. Whether you’re in the early planning stages or refining the final details, I’m here to help you make informed decisions and move forward with practical solutions that support your goals.

3D Printing

Request precision prints, practical parts, fixtures, and custom fabrication support. Whether you need functional prototypes, workshop fixtures, replacement components, or tailored fabrication solutions, I can help bring your ideas into practical, high-quality results built to meet real-world requirements.

Pegboard

A compact modular pegboard system designed for flexible workspace organization. Each board measures 220 × 202 × 5 mm and is compatible with IKEA Skådis accessories, allowing you to combine hooks, containers, and organizers to suit your setup. The system includes 2-board and 4-board connectors plus wall mounting spacers, making it easy to expand multiple boards into a larger custom storage layout. Boards are joined using M3×8 bolts and M3 nuts, while wall installation requires M6×30 straddling dowels and M4×40 screws.

Diamond vs Steel Files: Coarseness, Uses & Buying Guide

Diamond files and traditional steel files may look similar, but they work in very different ways. Steel files cut with hardened teeth and excel at fast stock removal on softer materials, while diamond files abrade with electroplated diamond grit, making them ideal for hardened steel, carbide, glass, ceramics, and precision finishing. This guide explains the key differences, compares diamond D value grit ratings with traditional file cuts like bastard, second, and smooth, and helps you choose the right file for each material and task.

Designing Without Measurements

A simple customer request turned a skull-shaped glass bottle into a clean bedside lamp without drilling, glue, or permanent modification. Instead of risking the fragile bottle, the design worked around the original cap: a 3D-printed insert with COB LED grooves, internal cable routing, and a top-mounted DC power socket. This post walks through the thinking behind a deliberately simple solution — reducing risk, respecting the object, and creating something practical that quietly does its job.
