      The tool that I have designed that can be used instead of drilling for composite materials without making the material weaker like drilling does. 🙂

      An exoskeleton that could open and close your hand just by you or your friend thinking open hand if they had the right headset on. Really fun and useful.

      I wouldn’t say I necessarily made this, but I helped design a number of solutions to prevent flooding of sewer system.
      I saw the scheme get approved and costed and eventually got to see it applied to stop causing problems to the streets and roads affected.

      It’s probably the current thing that I’m making: a network of sensors in a prosthetic socket which links to a web application so we can “see” what’s happening there. It will allow clinicians to redesign the sockets to be more comfortable and fit better so that it prevents further injury. It means that amputees will be able to walk better.

      Hmmmmmm

      I think it has to be the 2 remembrance walls I made for the University, they were large welded stainless steel free standing picture frames (about 3M x 2M)
      With a laser cut backing made from the special steel the angle of the north is made from (corten) and I had to make a lot of copper leafs and do loads of work to make them oxide and go green.

      My arty side really enjoyed that type of work 🙂

      I once modified a car, so that that it had two throttle pedals – one in the normal position, and the other one in the place where the clutch pedal would have been – the car had automatic transmission.
      This meant that the driver, who had lost their right leg could drive easily, and the conversion was designed so that it could be fitted and removed in 10 seconds.
