These projects were completed during the span of Mech-200, Fall Semester 2025
Clock Project
Using 2″ 2061-T6 Aluminum Bar stock for a Clock Base, 5/8″ C360 Brass round stock for a pen holder, 5/8″ 1018 cold rolled round steel stock for a pencil holder, 9/16″ brass hex stock for a nut, and a laser cut 1/8″ PMMA Clear Acrylic engraved with a hand-drawn clock face, as well as off-the shelf hardware, I machined and assembled parts for a clock with tolerances within 0.005″ (5 thou)

Screwdriver Projects
Two screwdrivers were created in this course
The first, a flat-head screwdriver with a cast-aluminum handle. Provided the blanks, the handle was knurled and machine finished, then drop-forged to shape, ground to tolerance, heat treated and tempered.
The second, provided a Philips head “shank”, a handle was injection molded using recycled PLA plastic from the Idea2Product lab I had ground earlier in the year.
CNC Coaster Project – HAAS Certification
To learn and understand the HAAS CNC milling machine, this course tested our knowledge on the machine through the creation of this aluminum coaster!
By completing this project, I became a HAAS certified for Basic Mill Operation, as well as got an awesome coaster and great experience out of it.
