Owner’s sentiments…

What am I about?

In a nutshell, I am about improving the human existence.

I am an artist, designer, inventor, maker, singer, athlete, philosopher, and other things. But first and foremost, I am a devoted husband and father. I possess an unquenchable thirst for hidden knowledge that keeps me rooted deep in thought. Combined with my heart for humanity, I am driven to blaze the most ambitious trail that promotes swift, healthy progress. For anyone who dares to traverse life in leaps and bounds, just follow along. I pretty much DIY every obstacle that I face, and whenever I can, I lend a helping hand. I will always remain positive and never stop dreaming; no matter how many times my dreams are shattered. I am an optimist, ever watchful to help others catch a break. I empathize with the downtrodden, for oft’ has been my own plight. And this, my friend, is why I am here. With an outstretched hand, I invite you to join the quest to improve our present existence. Let us together take a leap of faith into a better tomorrow.

P.S. If you happened to click the easter-egg link on the above word “singer”, it’s just there to offer a glimpse into the heart that I have to help and inspire people. That singer in the video is me. That’s on my wife’s YouTube channel.

St Patrick’s Cathedral

This first group of images shows St Patrick’s Cathedral in Urbana, IL. When this job came up for bid, the shop where I worked at the time had bid only on the casework for the classrooms and offices in the addition. The general contractor was still looking for someone who could replicate the artistic elements in the project. My employer asked me if I thought I could do it. To which I replied, “Yes.” And before I knew it, I was tasked with replicating the ornate items from the church’s original design.

All of the gold capitols and bases you see on the columns and arches are my doing. The cross placards, rosettes, and transition blocks were also my doing. When originally planning out the task, I had planned to make silicone molds of the original wood carvings and then cast replicas in plaster. However, as the planning developed further, the decision was made to 3D print the replicas instead. So I sat down with calipers in hand to begin the tedious task of measuring and drawing up replicas. Slight modifications were made to the original geometry in order to harmonize well with the FDM print process, and due to the larger size of the prints, much engineering went into the internal structures of the prints to minimize the warping inherent to the ABS filament used. Thus began my journey into 3D printing, and I have loved it ever since.
