Good word ‘stuff’. It covers a lot of bases!

These are real world designs for the offshore industry. The last one will pull about 400 tonnes vertically and swivel around 360°!

The bondage shot in the middle? That was a concept for auxiliary sealing of an item that could be diver installed. I quite like the strapping over the zip…

This is another personal project – re-purposing and integrating components for my own motorcycle. Again, it is a case of marrying form and function.

This is a special drop-in feature to improve the safety of a gas cooker used by someone with impaired sight. The OEM design can allow pans to tilt and spill, so these overcome the problem, without restricting the flames and don’t need any skill to fit.

Two options for camera and light carrying equipment. Needing to be both robust and simple to make and install. I had no idea that it would end up looking like WALL-E…

Sometimes things can be a little more…. industrial!

This is an ongoing project to design an affordable uilleann bagpipe chanter. This will never replace the beautifully crafted items by top makers, but it may make the instrument more accessible to people wanting to learn (before they go on to buy from those craftsmen). I will add a few details to the page up the top there, as I progress.

Some things are harder to model in software than they are to make in the real world. This is a case in point. This is a non-linear helical cut that has to meet some very specific requirements. With a little tweaking (now done), this is soon to become a production item.
