Some ideas for a small drain cover that fits a standard PVC fitting, and a design failure that burnt up in the plate laser.
A bent sheet metal luggage rack to be strapped onto the back fender of a motorcycle, Harley Davidson themed.
My friend needed a guard rail for his 2nd story stair opening. I designed this to use stock materials (no need for expensive custom materials orders for this budget project).
Created a table-top stand to display a Christmas ornament; 1/8th” & 1/4″ plate, Powder-coated.
I made these bumpers for a friend’s daughter’s 4-wheeler. Laser-cut 1/8th” plate, sand blasted and powder coated.
These designs would be laser-cut from 20ga sheet steel, & powder-coated (foreground pc: black, background pc: silver).
Holly’s Magnetized Kitchen Cabinet Blackboard Idea
A fuel pump mount is modeled in SolidWorks and shortened by 5/8″, so it can be produced in a CNC machine.
This Time They’re Round! A very nice person contacted me and asked me to design a round vent cover for her kitchen.
I don’t think we’ll use or improve this design, so I figured I’d post it on here for the great benefit of humanity.

A person building a new house while living in an older house asked to have new vent covers designed that are appropriately sized for modern HVAC ducting, but keep the ornate beauty and charm of the cold air return grates from their current home.
Prototyping & Reverse Engineering examples from my 3D CAD employment and real-world experience. Includes a Flat Panel TV & DVR Multimedia Stand modeled from a hand drawn note (prototype), and a part from a pair of Livestock Tagging Pliers that I had to model for a CNC Machine Operator (reverse engineering).
I got a new 3D CAD work computer last week, and it’s a huge improvement over what I was using before.
I recently designed a website, graphics, flash video, CAD models, content, & more for a local business that provides Septic System services. Want to see?
