 BRIDGE SEAT CAFÉ Problem Design a theme restaurant that means something to you. Solution Tree houses are not just for kids anymore!

My main objective was to have one continuous piece that could be used as a table and chairs and on a larger scale turned into a Tree House theme restaurant. |

 OFF-ROADING - FENDER FIREPLACE Problem Create a piece of furniture from part of a Chevy Monster Truck Solution Using the left wheel well, I created a faux fireplace. This project was an amazing experience; it took 3 weeks and was all about details. During this project, the phrase ‘measure twice, cut once’ really went a long way. With budgets and limited supplies, you need to make sure everything is perfect. For the exhibition I even made my own knickknacks for the mantel, which included a clock made from a cylinder, bookends and a picture holder made from the pistons. ** Was on display at SVA main gallery and Exhibition was featured in the Daily News |

 ART & MUSIC FOR CHARITYProblem Famous Artists and Musicians always donate their time and money to charities and social causes. For inspiration, we were given a basic Fender guitar as a starting point and asked to illustrate a charity or social cause. Solution My love of construction and experience working with Habitat for Humanity made my choice simple.I decided not to use an actual guitar as a starting point but work backwards, starting with a blue print build the guitar in the same way you would build a house. I constructed the piece using a 2” x 4”, nails and metal supports. Now all this Fender needs is a little insulation and sheetrock and it is good to go! |
