Making Stuff.
The last couple years…I’ve been stepping away from the computer more often to get my hands dirty (with paint, sawdust, and glue). Below is a gallery of stuff that I’ve crafted in my garage or in-house art studio.

Custom Arcade Cabinet
It all started with me wanting an arcade machine for my “man cave”. I then discovered how much something like this costs and decided it would be a fun project to build, paint, and design myself! Full size 80’s-style retro cabinet built from MDF. Powered by a decent home-built gaming PC running LaunchBox/Big Box - (MAME, SNES, NES, etc), Subwoofer, Coin slot, Acoustically synced LED lights, Keyboard/mouse slideout drawer, Front USB ports (for plugging in additional gamepads), and more. This was a lot of fun to create.
3D Printing Collectables and Props!
Here is a sampling of various statues/props that I printed on my Elegoo Mars 3 Pro resin printer. The digital .STL files of the 3D models themselves came from various different sources. I did the printing, prepping, building, and painting but did not create the digital source files. There are a TON of super talented 3D artists on Patreon. Contact me if you’d like any details on any specific model below.
