I like inventing and making things for shows, often involving contraptions and or mechanisms. Things which can break down and are light and easy to travel with.
I make things for my own projects as well as for other performers and companies. I like to think I have that added bonus of being a perfomer-who-makes so really do understand how important it is to get all those little quirks and details right which really make a difference.
I post here about things I’ve made, you could say its a “portfolio” – worth having a look at to get an idea of the full range of things I work on.
I work with different materials depending on the requirements of the project and am continually expanding my making skills. My current skills/capabilities include:
– Metalwork inc; Welding (Aluminium, Steel, Stainless Steel), Milling.
– Woodwork and General Carpentary
– Pneumatics (compressed air)
– Basic electronics (12v mostly)
– Problem solving
– Creating mechanical solutions
If you’ve got an idea, project, prop or anything you think I might be able to help you with please feel free to contact me.
