A surprising number of people think that I have developed a very elaborate scam. #craft #DIY #resin #resinart #make #designer #handmade #SmallBusiness #fyp #foryou #viral #story #satisfying #eyewear #entrepreneur

Recently I showed you my board design and explained how by splitting the deck in half, the steering system worked differently and this reduced the amount of metal used, making the board lighter. I explained how by learning to use glass fibre, I had the idea of making hardened denim sunglasses. It made me laugh when someone complained how I’d tricked them into watching one of my videos. He was interested in my board design, but not my sunglasses. #craft #creative #DIY #resin #story #SmallBusiness #designer #engineer #invention #entrepreneur #prototype #fyp #foryou #materials #viral #content #explore #ideas #fashion
I’ve always liked flying big kites that pull you around mercilessly. By attaching wheels to your feet, you can ride the wind as if it was a racehorse. I invented a new kind of board when I was a teenager. By splitting the deck in half, each flexible section connected to the axles in a way that made the board steer when the rider lent forward or back and flexed one section more than the other. I wanted to convince a potential manufacturer of the benefits of my design so they’d give me some money. I put a hell of a lot of work into a project that didn’t end up going anywhere. However by learning to use fibreglass to make the flexible parts of the deck, it inspired me to try infusing denim with resin. That’s the main material that my unique sunglasses are made from. I’ve worked out how to make a living from the whole sunglasses thing too, so that’s nice. #skateboard #kitesurf #kite #design #cad #engineering #patent #SmallBusiness #story #craft #DIY #resin #fyp #explore #ideas #metalwork #project #handmade
