About Projects
Projects are non-research endeavors, that can range from hand-crafted things, to other achievements that required time, thought and creativity.
Creating Music With a Lava Lamp
I use an Arduino nano paired with a photoresistor to capture light signals from the lava lamp. Those signals create midi packets that my computer uses to generate the audio. In this video I’ll show you all of the software packages that I used to make this happen.

3D Printed Tri-Wing Bit
I had a need to undo some Tri-Wing head screws. I did not have one of these bits and I wondered – perhaps I could 3D-Print one. It wouldn’t have to last forever – in fact if it only worked for 1 screw, that would be enough.
Tree Engraved Tray
For this Christmas, I made my mother a small tray that could be used for decorative purposes. I made it with some scrap Aspen I had sitting around. I cut box joints, and then used the table saw to make a slight rabbit to facilitate the plywood base.
Wood Burned Leaf
In this project I engrave a simple leaf pattern using my Shaper, and then I went over the engraving with a wood burner.
AI-Guided Painting
My wife and I have been spending some of our “date nights” painting together. We’re both not extremely proficient, but we’re trying to get better. Sarah’s method is to try and mimic features from images she’s found online. I, on the other hand, have been prompting Dall-E to generate paintings. For example, I recently gave […]
Snowy Scene Painting
In my effort to get better at painting and generate more art for our house – I tried painting a snowy scene. I tried paying attention to shading, and color. The weakest point (in my opinion) is the execution of the barn.
Paintings For Decoration
Above my interior stairs I’ve got a large wall that is shamefully unadorned. We’ve looked at art in the past but it’s been too pricey. So now we are making a 5×10 mosaic of several painted pictures. Can we paint? Kinda? Will we be able to paint better after making 50 pictures? Most likely! The […]
Death’s Sickles
My daughter, Hazel, wanted to be Puss in Boots for Halloween – and so to coordinate, my wife (Sarah) and I were Kitty Softpaws and Death respectively. Sarah created my cloak (poncho?) and cut out the pieces for a paper craft mask on her Cricut (I assembled it). And I made his dual sickles – […]
Image: Someone’s Nest
I don’t normally like creatures building nests in my stuff, but this nest constructed of moss and twigs in the wheel of my tractor was just too adorable. Granted what ever lives there probably doesn’t appreciate me driving around in the tractor. I love the contrast between the grungy industrial exterior and the cozy natural interior.
