going out with a bang

this semester has come to an end. and here is the final deliverable i have to show from my cornell career (the final product of my previous work in progress):


and here's me with my woodworking love child:


and here's the best woodshop piece of machinery EVER:


it is referred to as snuffy, as in snuffleupagus, and was given this name by paul, the most adorable "i want you to be my grandpa" professor ever. and this is him with my woodworking lovechild:


thanks paul and all the other amazing professors who have helped me figure out where i fit in the world over these past four years. you make me paying over $120,000 for my education well worth it.

and im out.

work in progress

the quarter scale model of my soon to be full scale ergonomic, intergenerational sociopetal love seat:

its intended to facilitate interaction between the elderly and their grandchildren through its rounded backframe (which allows them to see each other while sitting and/or easily cuddle) and all of the seating and angle measurements are those of ergonomic lounge seating standards.

here is a picture of it with my "1/4 scale person" to give you a better idea of dimensions [note: theres tape on her neck (her name is regina) because i accidentally decapitated her while cutting the shape out of particle board]:

moral of the story: im taking the most baller classes.
