• Used to test IP ratings on end of line products. Able to non-destructively test products to 5atm of pressure. 

• Custom billet aluminium pressure chamber and chassis.

• Full SMC pneumatic and control system.

• First of its kind "proof of concept" prototype for trials in clinics.

• Custom control system and hardware.

• IP67 waterproof with medical grade stainless steel construction.

• Custom Arduino shield design and manufacture.

• Used to handle standard DC inputs and translate them into high current relay switched outputs. 

• To be used as a low cost and easy to program alternative for a commercial PLC. 

• Test application was the drain automation and monitoring of a workshop air compressor.

• Design and analysis of steel reinforcing for concrete buildings. 

• Heavily focused on cost out and design for manufacture.

• Calculations and documentation for both permanent cases (when concrete is dried) and temporary cases (when concrete is wet).

• Design and manufacture of 120 prototype units for early adopter trials. 

• Custom brushless motor, transmission and controller.

• Form factor was strictly governed by industrial design which led to complex internals.

My modified daily driver overlooked by my biggest project to date.

To keep the classy heritage of the 1930s cottage reclaimed rimu timber had to be sourced, machined and installed. 

Custom fit out to cater for both utility purposes and weekend get aways.

Extensive restoration including an engine and carbureta rebuilds.

After receiving quotes outside of my budget, I completed the install instead. It's perfectly optimised and is able to heat, cool and ventilate the house in a matter of minutes. 

To open up the kitchen living space, two walls were removed, one lintel was raised, a beam in the ceiling was reinforced and a bifold door was installed. It was great fun and a good excuse to buy a nailgun.
