I have extensive experience working in both wood and metal shops, much of which can be seen in projects like Cars and Lathes. However, at Berkeley, opportunities for hands-on woodworking projects are more limited. One notable exception was the combat box project, where I was partnered to take the lead.
This project allowed me to apply my woodworking and fabrication skills to create a robust, precise design. Taking the lead involved planning the build, ensuring structural integrity, and collaborating closely with my teammate to meet the project's technical and safety requirements.
