For this project, I worked with a partner to upcycle items and refurbish them into a more valuable, longer lasting product in order to reduce waste in the environment. We transformed scrap materials and unwanted furniture into an end table with a modern crate design. Since old but still usable furniture is commonly discarded, this project combines principles of industrial design, CAD, and creative re-use. Over the course of the school-year, we spent time building the product using machine shop tools, such as the chop saw, band saw, belt sander, planer, and power drill.
