Introducing Roy

Hi, I'm Roy and shall be posting here occasionally for the next 3 months. I am a designer maker, here on a bursary awarded through the Past, Present and Future Craft Practice project.

I am interested in open sourcing as a method for collaboratively crafting technical products, and hope to try out some ideas on this topic while here in Dundee. I am going to use a design for a short range FM radio transmitter design that I have started to develop, as a subject for this - Here are a couple at this stage:



The product at this stage is called Niftymitter, and there is a bit more info here on my website.

I have also been experimenting with the laser cutter, and tried engraving a landscape into the pages of a book to get some contour outlines:



I look forward to posting more - I normally post fairly regularly to the Zero-waste Design blog, and occasionally to the Ponoko blog, but will save the extra special ones for the Product Design Research Studio blog, so as not to bore you!
