Wiring & Metalworking

Electronic Keyboard

Electronic Keyboard

The framing detail show here is just one bay of a 24' x 4', 3 octave keyboard. I was responsible for all aspects of design and execution, including the metal prep, welding jigs, acrylics, and wiring.

 Each key was equipped with a full LED array, which offered the clientele the option of a fully customized color scheme.  I wired each key to depress a momentary switch, which was connected to the motherboard of a toy electronic keyboard.

 The keyboard was wired to an 1/8" audio jack, which I then connected to full speakers to output the sound. The finished product is shown here, just after install.

Custom Machete

Custom Machete

I created this custom piece of stage weaponry with the understanding that it needed to be light, actor safe, and sufficiently balanced to enable the performer to throw it and lodge it into the ground, point down, consistently. I shaped the blade from sheet metal, then carved the handle from poplar. Custom rivets secured the connected, and allowed me to control the weight and ballast.

Candelabra Practical

Candelabra Practical

This candelabra needed to be able to have each candle extinguished individually, but was not large enough to hide a wireless receiver. I hollowed out the base, and installed three toggle switches for ease of operation.

 I created the candles by dipping PVC in melted wax and outfitting the tubes with wired LED candles, which I then wired to the switches hidden in the base.

 After creating some additional wax drippings, the end result was a stage ready candelabra that could be held and operated in one hand, while still allowing each flame to be "lit" and extinguished individually.
