Our middle-school students at Tam High are building a City of the Future together, using arts and electronics to make a model of what our world may be like in 100 years.
In our sixth class, students worked in teams to make public spaces for their city: underwater mines, segregated neighborhoods, surface rubbles and gated skyscrapers for the rich. This week’s creations included a new city sign, more ladders, more mine workers, and tall, skinny towers scraping the crimson sky.
They also agreed on a final name for their city: 15A, named after its sector coordinates. In their post-apocalyptic city of the future, the rich are separated from the poor, who mine the sea floor and are oppressed by a government run by machines.
I am teaching this after-school class with Geo Monley and Cynthia Gilbert, and we are happy to see our students so engaged in this project. Through this course, they are developing a range of skills, from creative expression to science and engineering (STEAM). And they are learn to create interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful and collaborative way that makes learning more fun.

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 have been using the laser cutter to cut words out for gifts. This one was schwag that was left over after one of the fashion shows. The font is Zapfino, with canals removed from the font to support the counters. That was done in illustrator. I am planning on actually making a proper font out of that technique: Stencilino.
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.

The FabLab is an interactive exhibition and workshop space at the Ars Electronica Center. It is all about design, production processes and tools, reaching from different design software via a laser cutter which cuts and engraves, to a 3-D printer which realizes digital models as physical objects.

This should have been a full circle, cut by our JD40W Lasercutter.
SA007 informed me that this is likely caused by LaOS firmware issues.
BugBlue was experimenting with glass etching by means of lasercutting. The end result is beautiful.
This is a trial run, calibration is a bit off in the first part (bottom) of the logo.

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.

As a coolant reservoir for our lasercutter of course.
While upgrading and fixing the laser unit, SA007 needed a ~1 litre reservoir to hold cooling fluid. This Wijko bucket was the first thing he came across. Problem. Solved.
Note: "Wijko" is a bit of a cult brand in The Netherlands.

SA007 built this Air-Assist upgrade for the JD40W Lasercutter from spare parts, junk and stuff laying around.
It works its magic by blowing a steady jet of air in the path of the laserbeam, cooling the project-to-be-cut (reducing the amount of collateral damage caused by the heat of the laser-beam) and blowing away smoke and vaporized materials (reducing nasty residue build-up on the project's surface area).
SA007 did a comparison with and without the Air-Assist jet, the results are awesome; the cuts are way more clean, as can be seen here.
We've put together an Instructable to accompany our open source robot platform.
Taking you through the steps from boxes of bolts and 4'x8' sheets of acrylic to lovely kits ready to be shipped.

Hackerspace Hack42 Arnhem was invited to demonstrate our style at Rozet's Open House 2015. One of the things they requested, was a live demo of our 2D laser-engraver which we used to engrave our logo in our infamous Dossier Verkade (part I) (and part II)... back in 2012. This portable DIY laser-engraver had been committed to the scrapyard long ago, and our current models either aren't very portable, or in non-working condition. Thankfully, Hackerspace Techinc Amsterdam loaned us a cute portable lasercutter to be able to engrave a single cookie on-site. We fabricated a nice shield for it (actually, for the visitors' eyes) and we pre-made quite a large batch of cookies with our own engraver. Mission Accomplished.

not easy to find the good lasercutter setting for this one, too low does not cut masking tape and too strong cut carboard

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.
The central piece against the wall is "FDIC Insured" a collection of 130+ cast off investment books from the Strand dollar racks, engraved with the logos of all of the failed banks of the Great Recession.
Along the left side is a piece called "Before and After." I wanted to call it "Before and After President Reagan Lost His Memory" but that seemed a little overdetermined. So I just write it here. It is books from an 1982 and 1992 World Book enscribed with things that were (Free Love, Analog, Prisoner of War) and things that are (HIV/AIDS, Digital, Enemy Combatant.)
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...
Along the right side of the wall are laser cut drawings of security patterns from the inside of security envelopes.
Honestly one of the best pieces we have done. This beautifally machined piece was amazing by itself, but then add the AT AT love design and it becomes a one of a kind custom piece that is sure to impress friends and family.
My partner Geo Monley has created a cool art box called “Le Puzzle de la Menuiserie” (“The Puzzle of Carpentry”).
This surreal object shows a jigsaw puzzle of an pre-industrial carpentry shop, represented in 3D, in different stages of development. The puzzle features a black-and-white drawing of an old french woodshop from centuries ago. A small carpenter figure cuts one of the jigsaw pieces, as if it had just stepped out of the picture for this job.
This art piece is to be showcased and auctioned at the Box Show in Point Reyes in August 2016.
All these shapes were laser cut at Tam Makers, a new makerspace that Geo and I are developing, to serve a growing community of makers, students and teachers in South Marin.

A padhack (device which converts arcade control signals into input that can be recognized by game consoles) that I built for myself recently. I decided to treat it as a portfolio project, so I strove for a high quality professional-looking product.
The whole thing is custom designed around the components (2x Akishop PS360+ PCBs and a Jammaboards JB-2 fingerboard). The top and bottom plates are laser cut acrylic, with my personal logo etched into the surface. It came out much nicer than I was expecting, and I've had several requests to build them for others.
