Column stand

I had parts of an old Durst enlarger and a friend needs a column stand for her animation work. I bought a Manfrotto 323 quick change plate + adapter. After some cutting, drilling, thread taping and a really terrible welding job an arm to mount the 323 was made.

With this the 323 can be attached to the column with the necessary distance.

To ease working a bit further I made an foot pedal based remote shutter release + adapter for Canon SLR.

Mobile fireplace

After my mishap on Monday  where my chair broke down my friends suggestet to make a BBQ.  So I welded an old washing machine drum onto the remaining foot of my (former) chair. At first I thought this would make a funny flower pot. After a while I though “oh you, my creation … from here on out, you shall be … a fireplace”, grabbed some firewood and lit it.

USauB – an electronic sculpture charging your mobile devices

The sculpture “USauB” (USowB) invites visitors to interact with it. It’s powered USB teats provide vital electrical energy for our important mobile devices. Just like little piglets drink from their mother the USauB feeds mobile phones, tablets and other devices. Visitors are encouraged to place their devices in the care of the sow to have them charged.
