 In an attempt to ward my mind against encroaching midterms, I started working on a Halloween costume. The CAD is done and I prototyped several parts. Unfortunately I couldn't find any steel stock large enough in the scraps bin, so I made the core out of aluminum. I guess this gives me a chance to shape up my TIG welding!

That is awesome! But where's the rest of the suit?

I think I'll be going as Tony Stark rather than Iron Man... Having the free time for a suit would be amazing. I got all the lighting done last night though! At the cost of all my sleep.

Very nice. My hallway was going to go with a Firefly theme, but then we all had problem sets due :/. Tis a shame too; I was going to be Mal and Annie was going to be Inara.

So, it still needs a bit of work, but the electrical tape replacement of magnet wire was good enough for the party last night :] Leave a Reply. |  I'm Russell Smith, a student of Mechanical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) class of 2014. I feel most alive when I haven't slept in the last 48 hours and a deadline for my project is hours away. With that in mind, I hope to present the livelier aspects of my life.
