-The Fusion Files-

This post is for the purpose of illustrating many of the projects I have designed and not built, or projects that are not important enough to be featured in my portfolio. As more projects are created, they will be added onto this post. Each item will have a description, and if anyone would like to purchase any of the files please email me using the button below.

Full Circuit Roller Coaster-

This was designed as an upgrade from Torque, featuring newer launch mechanisms and an updated chassis.

2023 Haunted House-

*This project will be production* After many years of not putting on a haunted house, this year I wish to have a Halloween resurgence and come back with a bigger and better Haunt.

CNC American Flag-

*This item was produced*

Designed for my dad, this American Flag was routed out of thick walnut and features a two-tone stain to make the stripes pronounced.

Theater Bench-

I designed this bench for theater, as the benches that we currently use for productions are clunky and heavy. These sleek benches are made completely out of 1×4’s to allow for them to be incredibly lightweight.

Loyola Academy Cookie Cutter-

*Produced Dec. 2021*

While not grand enough to make it into the portfolio, this cookie cutter sure was fun to design and use. Based directly off our school logo, this cutter was 3D printed to cut large cookies. After a while, it did end up getting worn out, so unfortunately had to be thrown away.
