Our second laser cutting class at Tam Makers, taught by Geo Monley and Chelsea Andersson. This new evening course for adults took place on June 22, 2016 at the woodshop in Tam High School, Mill Valley.
We started the class at 6pm, by showing students how the laser cutter works in detail. We then took turns cutting up photo frames and other simple projects, while the rest of the class took a certification quiz.
Students seemed to enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. This is one of our first maker courses at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going so well; we look forward to teaching more classes in the fall.

The set shows a team building activity evening at the MUSE FabLab. The general activities have been focused on Digital Fabrication and personalization of an object designed by groups of people. The object has been first designed digitally and then fabricated using the laser cutter. As a third step, each group has the build up the physical object, basically for their office desk.
I just put up an installation of work at Eyebeam for Studio Visits. This is work I have been producing over the last 6 months. The work is primarily old found books cut with the laser cutter, as well as some laser cut drawings.
Sprinkled throughout are altered reference books. like taking Dictionaries and turning them into memorials. It is kind of like putting an ironic inscription on a tombstone...
A work in progress:
One year in temperature materialised in acrylic.
The height is the temperature values.
Each row is one week long, and with 52 rows, there's one year in temperature, in Helsinki, Finland.
The year covered is the one between may 2009 -> may 2010 . The winter was quite cold, to say the least.
This was just a test. Am hoping to do a bit of a skinned surface in the end, and use a more natural material, like wood.
... just need to get that coordinate points count down. Seems the CNC toolpath machinery doesn't like it too much.
__ Thanks to the Aalto University Media Factory, for providing resources to do this and other physical information visualisation research.

Dia de la bicyskull... aka Live, Love, Ride!
So our first Assignment was to bring a Raster design into Illustrator that we could etch into 1/8” Birch ply, and create a Vector stroked line (Pure 255 RGB Red, 0.0001 60W or 0.00001 30W) to cut out said coaster.
I thought I would try Vector cutting the whole thing out, well as you can see from the holey mess in my hand that was an epic fail due to the burns being too close to each other.
For this first test I used the 30W with standard settings from the board:
Vector100% power2% speed500 ppi0.125”
Next I found a cedar shingle in the scrap pile, I scaled up to 9” to fill the shingle.
Bingo the vector almost worked, but I lost the fragile center of the bike due to not enough bridges.
For this second and third test I used the 60W with standard settings from the board:
Vector100% power4% speed500 ppi0.22”(measuring the thicker part of the shingle)
Raster40% power40% speed500 ppi0.22”
I really like the smell of the cedar as it burn/cuts and sits around my space.
Over next two weeks I reworked the design and tried Raster etching into Denim, and Black and Brown leather.
For the 100% cotton Blue Denim I started with the standard leaf settings from the board and kept cranking them up till I got this nice contrast-y result, lots of potential fabric magic ideas here.

Come make your own gadget, robot or wearable art with Arduino at Tam Makers!
We hosted a number of maker classes and workshops for adults and teens in our makerspace at Tam High School. During our Arduino 101 classes and ‘You Can Make It’ workshops, participants learned to build new projects using the popular Arduino boards, with guidance from our staff and other community members.
Many of our members are experienced makers, who are happy to share what they know. Some of the cool maker projects they built together include a graceful robot spider, an eagle god with creepy eyes, an Arduino-powered garage opener, a Wifi server on a chip, and more.
If you are interested in creating your own maker project with the help of others, join our Maker Clubs on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 9pm in the woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley.

One of the great benefits of this open shop program is that you get a lot more than just access to tools: you join a community of makers who like to make things together and help each other.

Experiments in projection mapping onto a stack of laser cut retro styled TVs I built.
Scene 1: This is tic-tac-toe played on the screens. Each move triggers a video of me drawing a nought or cross on a whiteboard. Could be a fun interactive piece for an event controlled by competitors using their phone keypads.
Scene 2: Here I'm using randomly generated Space Invader like patterns. Based closely on work by Jared Tarbell.
Scene 3: Playing around with colours and images to see what works. CC licensed photos found via Idée Inc's very cool multicolr tool.

Local inventor John Colborn has been frequenting the Jocelyn H. Lee Innovation Lab while developing a portable, rechargeable diving system that provides air to divers "on demand" from an air pump at the water's surface - similar to a #SNUBA or hookah system, but much smaller and more portable. John is now shepherding his invention through the patent process, and the basic skills and tools used to create the device were introduced to him here in the Innovation Lab: 3D printing, laser cutting, vacuum forming, Arduino microcontrollers and more.
John recently tested his system and was able to stay underwater for a continuous 2 hours on a single battery charge - plenty of time to clean his backyard pool a few times and then some.
