http://apatheticthursday.net/projects/a-study-on-studies

A Study on Studies. I came up with a series of concepts revolving around school and wanted to work with some different friends and models to bring a photo series together. 27 Photos in all, I had three visions for each of my nine scenario.

Apathetic Thursday | Trebuchets

http://apatheticthursday.net/projects/trebuchets

In high school my friend and I built a trebuchet. It was a fun physics project and a year or so later we decided to build a bigger and better one. We used it at a neighbor's pumpkin festival to launch pumpkins. Later I built a small desk sized trebuchet that I used to hurl candy pumpkins at friends in school. I also built a smaller trebuchet to be used on stage at a vaudeville style comedy show. Check you the full photo album on flickr. Template Modified for Kirby by Philip Wels.

Apathetic Thursday | Metroid Morphball

http://apatheticthursday.net/projects/metroid-morphball

I am a big fan of the Nintendo Metroid series. The worlds and the music is simply enthralling to me. Also, the Metroids. I find them fascinating. though I'd never want to be alone with one IRL. I did an interview with Conglometroid. About this project, which is mirrored below as well. Conglometroid: Please tell us a little about yourself? What got you into metroid? Conglometroid: You made a metroid morph ball model. That’s quite impressive. What inspired this creation? I was playing Metroid Prime after I...

Apathetic Thursday | Musical Chess Set

http://apatheticthursday.net/projects/musical-chess-set

My friend Jonas and I simultaneously reached a point in our lives where we came to a sudden and shocking realization. We had a friend, named Bob, who was about to get married. We were both really happy for Bob, but this whole wedding thing involved a lot of planning and thinking and somehow, a $10 t-shirt from Target which read Game Over just wasn’t going to cut it for a wedding gift. We were cutting the pieces using my dad’s scroll saw. Sadly, the scroll saw was on it’s last legs and required a bit ...

Apathetic Thursday | Tetris Shelf

http://apatheticthursday.net/projects/tetris-shelf

This is a project which has no definite finishing point. meaning, I will probably keep making new pieces forever. I saw the idea on instructables.com. And decided to make one on my own. I decided early on that I wanted to bevel the pieces like actual tetris pieces, so that the inside of the shelf would have more surface than the outside. This really helps make it look authentic. I really wanted to wood to show and the grain to stand out with the project and the water based stain really did a great job.

Apathetic Thursday | Computer Desk

http://apatheticthursday.net/projects/computer-desk

Several weeks back I decided to build a computer desk. I began by modeling out my idea both on paper and also in Google Sketchup. (Links to the video are in the post New Computer Desk.). My wood options were rather limited, the only two options I was given were Pine or Aspen. (I could have gotten oak, but it was far too expensive and would have required much more work.) I had already decided to go to with Aspen. I bought 10 boards,. 3 1 x24 x6 boards,. 6 1 x12 x8 , and. 3 1 x24 x8 boards,. It’s darker th...

When my laptop started to die on me I come up with some good ideas about how to commemorate the faithful machine that served me throughout my college years. This was the result.
