Ongoing builds and questions

This page is for the ideas and builds that are still open. Some are practical workshop projects. Some are just questions that keep pulling me back in.

It is meant to stay rough and active instead of pretending everything is already wrapped up.

Darkroom build

An ongoing build at OMA Collective, balancing layout, workflow, and the practical details that make the room usable.

Small metal casting kiln

Still being shaped through material choices, insulation decisions, and a lot of real-world trial and error.

Workshop process notes

A growing place for the smaller questions around prototyping, fabrication, fixtures, and useful ways of testing ideas quickly.

If you are reading this at the very bottom of the site, you have probably scrolled past prototypes, camera rolls, workshop fixes, and at least one idea that looked better at 2 a.m. Somewhere nearby there is a darkroom that still needs tweaking, a small kiln that is definitely a normal thing to build, a sketchbook full of arrows pointing nowhere, a half-successful weld, a printer asking for bed leveling again, and a strong suspicion that making strange useful things by hand is still the best way to think. | If you are reading this at the very bottom of the site, you have probably scrolled past prototypes, camera rolls, workshop fixes, and at least one idea that looked better at 2 a.m. Somewhere nearby there is a darkroom that still needs tweaking, a small kiln that is definitely a normal thing to build, a sketchbook full of arrows pointing nowhere, a half-successful weld, a printer asking for bed leveling again, and a strong suspicion that making strange useful things by hand is still the best way to think. | If you are reading this at the very bottom of the site, you have probably scrolled past prototypes, camera rolls, workshop fixes, and at least one idea that looked better at 2 a.m. Somewhere nearby there is a darkroom that still needs tweaking, a small kiln that is definitely a normal thing to build, a sketchbook full of arrows pointing nowhere, a half-successful weld, a printer asking for bed leveling again, and a strong suspicion that making strange useful things by hand is still the best way to think. |
