Cofo, prototype v1...

This is a quick little movie (done in Adobe Flash) showing the Cofo prototype v1. Cofo was designed in Solidworks, cut out of sheet steel on a water jet (at the TechShop), powder coated, and has a teak base. The teak, edge grain 2.5" block, is from ProTeak, which uses FSC certified wood.

It was great testing it out, but it definitely needs some updates. Version 2 will have an adjustable height among other additions. I'll post some detailed pictures in a couple days, when I get a new tripod.

Breaking out the yellow foam...

Good practice to start modeling my drawings. At least in small scale. Next up I'll take the concept into CAD. Cheers.

The helmets...

And here's the new helmet sketches inspired by the same site. Enjoy.

Couple more sketches this morning...

Woke up and did some quick sketching this morning. Helmets and, what I'm calling, battery packs, which are really just some doodles to practice form. Cheers!

Stainless steel Bobble in Solidworks.

I was wondering if and when we'd ever see a stainless steel Bobble. So, I decided to make my own. Created in Solidworks with the final layout in Photoshop. You might catch that the threads should be on the inside of the bottle to match the current plastic Bobble. Version 2 will feature that change along with some others.
