Wooden Box Project
Wooden Box Project
When it came to working on making my wooden box, I used the idea of craftsmanship. To me, craftmanship means to use perfection & accuracy to create something. To be honest though, my box is far from perfect. However, I worked to my best ability to end up completing my box. If I were able to go back & change my box, I would straighten the side of my box & fix my hinges. Overall, I'm proud of my effort on the wooden box as I surprised myself that I was able to make the box. Down below are images of my box. To the far left is a link to a tool safety & box documentation.

Coaster Project
Coaster Project
Description: In this project, I created a matching set of holiday coasters for my family, using the knowledge from my past projects & using craftsmanship for woodworking.
Steps to make a 4-set coaster
1. Find scraps of wood for your coasters that you like.
2. Cut the scraps to even length & width of your choice.
3. Combine the pieces in a pattern that you wish, then glue & clamp the scraps to fully create the pattern.
4. Plane your piece on the planer.
5. Cut the 4 coasters into their uniform shape.
6. Profile the edges of each coaster to give it a fillet or chamfer edge.
7. Sand & smooth out your coasters.
8. (Optional) Spray finish to your coasters or apply wood glue

Harp Dolly
Harp Dolly
Description: In this project, me & friend Quincy Durham created a Harp Dolly for the harp class at Drew Charter that is run by our client, Doctor Betzer. We had multiple constraints on this project, being a set number of materials including two pieces of wood, a wooden/rubber cradle, wheels, a 27" axle, a fastening strap (2" & 4"), & a rubber mat for grip on the harp.

Harp Dolly Final Images
By the end of this project, I was able meet the goal of a cart with a base of 11"x21", as me & my partner Quincy Durham were able to create a harp cart that met the requirements of our client.
Infinity Mirror
Infinity Mirror
Description: In this project, I created an infinity mirror using the Python coding software "Mu" for lighting.
Infinity Mirror Brief
VIdeos of LED's: So, after learning how to code the first LED's, I then began experimenting with the code on Mu Editor. I then implemented my code into the 6 different patterns.
Code for both videos
Stoplight LED Code
One LED Code
Picture of how the mirrow works: When the light is emitted, the beam of light infinity bounces between the mirror & the glass, making the mirror appear infinite from the glass
Infinity Mirror Prototype
Finally, I created my final infinity mirror using neopixel, plywood, mirrors, & tinted glass.
In the video I have these three patterns in this order: All lights on Purple, Color Chaser, & Theater Chaser.
End of Year Reflection
End of Year Reflection
In this section, I reflected on my year in Engineering by answering several questions:
Favorite project & why?
To me, my favorite was in fact our final project, the Infinity Mirror. The final result from this project came out well as the process, which included coding, constructing using Onshape, & creating a prototype.
The most important thing I've learned
My important thing I've learned was the ability to use programs including Glowforge, Onshape, & Mu Editor.
Challenge of the Year
To be honest, I haven't had any challenges as I have been able to create & code all of my project with no challenges or problems, as I have great instruction from my teacher Ms. White all year.
