Welcome to my new site! Thanks to my dad and one of his coworkers for helping me with it, it looks far better than any of the sites I've made before.

I haven't entirely decided the best way to use this site yet, and there are still some changes I'm planning on making. How I use this site will probably evolve with time, but whatever I do I'll probably keep making blog posts in the same manner for project updates. I'd love to get feedback on how the site works, please email me (my email is in the banner) with anything feedback/comments.

Here's a few of my favorite projects, pulled from my old site.

In the continuing series of posts of content from my old site, here is a a K'Nex crossbow I built in mid 2010. It's very clunky and weak compared to most K'Nex weapons other people have created, but I like how mime comes closer to mimicking a real crossbow. Some of the early versions even had a chain crank, but it got caught a lot.

Instructables

As well as my Van de Graaff generator, I experimented with high voltage in another project. However, this one was much more dangerous and from a kit. Still, it was fun.

I recently disassembled my Van de Graaff generator, it now lives in several pieces in a corner of my room. I'll hopefully rebuild it some day, but for now I don't have space. There's a bunch of things I'd do differently now that I'm much better at building things and have access to far more powerful tools. My original VDG was almost entirely made with hand tools, even cutting the hole in the bottom of the mixing bowls. Now I have access to several machine shops and have the tools to design things on my computer before making them.

But for now to get a little bit more closure, I'm copying my old write up I did after finishing the project.
