Early control panel prototype for making a VFD alarm clock. Didn't work out well. New design and materials are much improved.
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.

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.
I like taking Dictionaries and turning them into memorials. It is kind of like putting an ironic inscription on a tombstone...

On Wednesday evenings, we host ‘You Can Make It’ workshops for adults and teens in our makerspace at Tam High School. During these open sessions, participants build new projects, with guidance from our staff and other community members.
Many of them are experienced makers, who are happy to share what they know. Here are some of the cool maker projects they are working on this month: a graceful robot spider, an eagle god with creepy eyes, an Arduino-powered garage opener, a Wifi server on a chip, and many laser cut picture frames.
If you are interested in creating your own maker project with the help of others, join us this fall, on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 9pm in the woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley. Learn more about You Can Make It:

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.

We are developing a public makerspace in Tam High School’s state-of-the-art woodshop, to make things together and grow a community of makers, students and teachers in South Marin.
This week, I used the laser cutter to make characters for our City of the Future course. In this ‘maker art’ class, lower and middle school students are building futuristic homes with cardboard ‘wonderboxes’ and animated characters such as these. They will bring these wood figures to life with lights, sounds and motion, using simple electronics.
Geo Monley showed off ‘Maker Field’, the city his high school students are building with his help. Here’s their work in progress, which now features a variety of buildings, as well as animatronics powered with Arduino.
These projects are good examples of what we could support with more maker programs for adults and teens in this new Tam High makerspace. More on this later.

Projection from laser cut halftone. Each hole ends up acting like a little pinhole camera, showing the v shaped filament of the lamp.
My mom is a Reiki master, doula, hospice nurse, and in general healer. She brought over a bag of hand picked river rocks she wanted to transform into simple tools to help one focus. While mom and I worked through sketches, Kim followed on the computer. After a few stones worth of experimentation we had a nice laser cut groove that completed her vision.

The scored squiggly bit is a signature. It doesn't read terribly well, but is supposed to be OT2O in a nifty logo shape.
Laser-cut basswood and wood glue. I took a laser cutter class today at NYC Resistor and decided to make whistles based on the classic design of organ pipes. If you have a laser cutter of your own, you can download the plans here.
The wood's not polished or stained, just burned a nice brown around the edges by the laser. It smells terrible.
I made two sizes of whistle; they sound like this.

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.
