Day 4 - This gorgeous piece is a decorative wall hanging designed by Mike as a gift to himself.

He has taken inspiration from Celtic knot designs and used Engraving and Cutting techniques to Laser Cut this piece in several parts.

Mike has finished the piece with paint and stain.

Day 3 - 3D Printing and Bronze Casting

Mike’s making skills, as we have seen, go beyond simply 3D Printing and Laser Cutting.

For this project there was some 3D Printing to create a design that would later be turned into a mould for bronze casting.

Mike attended a course outside of the Makerspace to learn how to cast in bronze.
He was then able to create a custom casting set up in his own back garden.

With 3D Printing and Bronze Casting combined, another project was complete!
