FINGS
Here are some fings I designed and made.
Gold and Grey and Heart
This was an arrangement I designed for a client who had some spare gold nuggets laying around, I mean don’t we all.
The grey stones were hand selected from the beach at Union Pier MI and that very black one is in the shape of a heart found on the beach.
The base is bark from a Oak tree (Red Oak obviously).
Light Fall
In the Tahoe house I had this 3 story wall that although was tiled in Porcelanosa’s Contour tile that mimics either the beach sand or the mountain contour lines. The wall needed an extra dimension.
So I designed and built this LightFall. In the process I fabricated custom parts essentail for the install. The ambient light given just made the space inviting and comfortable.
Window Controller
In the Tahoe House I move the awing windows to the top (in the front) for better air movement and exhaust of hot air that rises (no AC in the house). I designed & developed an automated window controller for the 7 awning windows that opened and closed based on inside temperature with an override for rain and smoke from forest fires – all automated with sensors. I probably went through a hundred iterations of designs and another hundred gear combinations. It was cool.
The Little Fings
Details make all the difference in good design. I designed and fabricated floor vents out of angle iron and steel mesh for a industrial rustic look.
To get a respectable solid wood hand rail I had to fabricate a bracket out of 1/4″ steel and a 1/2″ bolt for a rock solid attachment to the wall
Hands
Gold and silver, or brass and aluminum which is a bit more affordable but less exotic.
Wooden Blocks
There are 20 of them. It wasn’t easy.
