Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Mechanization Takes Command

Location:   Sequioa  602   

Metalworking machines and electric vehicles with an industrial aesthetic and an emphasis on simplicity. Made mostly from recycled and surplus materials. Featured will be my new 3 wheel electric car, and an electric motorcycle. I will also be displaying some drawings and models to illustrate the design-build process.
