I thought this idea was crazy to start with.

We were a little nervous. Had to take things apart a few times and rebuild them.

10 Weeks is a really short period,

going from a concept then design and then build the whole thing.

We've always done design-build-test, project based things in this course, and that's always

been a lot of fun.

We've never done something quite this scale before.

We want to make sure that when our students come in, they have a context for the engineering

that they're going to be doing.

You know, if they're going to be explaining the capacity of a 2x4 piece of lumber, we

want them to actually cut a 2x4.

I'm a freshman, civil engineering at Oregon Tech.

My mom used to say that I was going to be an engineer because I'd play with legos and

design weird things with them.

They're learning how to do project management through this and that's not something you

really learn until you actually do.

It's a new experience for me.

I'm a freshman, and building a tiny house at my level...

It's incredible.

I initially chose engineering because it's kind of close to what my family has done.

They were in the construction business, and I wanted to take it further.

Engineering, here, I thought was the better choice because we are a hands-on school.

Our professors really get the chance to know us because our classes are super, super small.

I come from industry, the other faculty members have an academic and industry experience as

well.

So, between the three of us we bring a wide range of experience to try to help the students

to know what it's really going to be like when they're out in the field.

The faculty just kind of guide us, if we have a terrible idea they'll be like "Oh, that's

a bad idea" but beyond that, it's all our decisions.

If there are any decisions to be made, we make them as a class, together.

It's really what we do here at Oregon Tech, hand-son and so this has been the ultimate,

hands-on learning experience.

They've learned through trial and error, some failure.

So far, we've had to come up with lots of plans, and change the plans lots of times.

It's pretty daunting, but a lot of fun.

The look on their face when you put a nailgun in a student's hand, and they've never experienced

that kind of power tool before.

Parents, they hear about and they want to join the class.

The impact of something like this on student is fantastic.

It really gives a sense of working in a team, and I feel like this is what that project

is all about.There's something really profound when you bring people with a diverse set of

skills together.

You get this opportunity to work together, towards a common goal.

And all of a sudden, all your creativity and excitement gets channeled into something that's

better than it possibly could have been with just one of us, alone.

Building a Japanese Bamboo Box with Walnut and Cherry Accents - Duration: 12:04.

today I'm building a bamboo box accented with cherry and walnuts

I have a set of plans complete with templates for the legs and handles on my

website if you're interested in building one. I have a fair amount of scrap wood

laying around the shop so I'm going to batch out several of these boxes

Once I had all the materials gathered up I decided to use the 8/4 wide cherry I had

for the legs. So I just ripped them down too rough with on the bandsaw

then I cleaned up the material at the jointer and headed over to my table saw

to square off the ends and set up some stop blocks on my miter gauge to cut

them to length. I made sure I kept track of what side I had jointed to be

sure everything stayed square throughout the process

The legs are going to be joined to the sides with dominoes. On the long side

will be joined with two one on the top and one on the bottom. So I screw down a

jig to the table and put some stops down one on the left for the lower mortise

and one on the right for the upper mortise. For the short side of the box I

flip the leg over end over end and as luck would have it referencing off the

bottom of the legs put the mortise fairly centered on the side

for the curve in the leg I took the time to make a plywood template. This way I

can see the shape of the curve in its actual size to be sure I liked it.

The curves on the legs and handles are what defines the design of this box so it's

important to get the detail just right

Once I had the legs all marked out I headed over the bandsaw to cut them out

making sure I left the line

Even though this is a simple cut I took time to tape the cutoff back on instead

of just trying to hold the piece together it's just a little insurance to

be sure I wouldn't screw one up

once I had them all cut out it was off to the spindle sander to refine the

curve and sand them smooth

The bamboo I'm using is a stranded bamboo flooring leftover from a previous

job so I'm just upcycling it into some boxes

To get the bamboo flooring preped to be cut to size I ripped the tongue off

along the sides and ends

I set some stops up on the miter jig so I can alternate cutting the long and

short sides of the box. By doing this it allowed me to keep the board's in order

so the grain of the strands of the bamboo would wrap around the box.

It's just one of those subtle details that brings up the quality of a piece

How stranded bamboo is mad, is they compressed the strands of bamboo

together with a hard resin. This resin was really difficult to cut mortises in

with the domino. The piece would jump side to side while trying to cut it.

I built a jig to trap the bamboo in place and added stops to the left and

right to help locate the mortises. This worked a lot better than trying to hold

the board in place. Next I needed to cut the dado to hold the bottom. I stacked

the side pieces in order so I could keep track of the flow of the grain and not

get them mixed up

Since the bottom was going to hit the inside corner of the leg I set up my

keyed miter jig to cut a notch in the corner of each leg to accept the bottom.

A little better measuring could have solved this problem but I made it work.

The dado for the bottom went through the mortise for the Domino. So the bottom

wouldn't hit the Domino I just used the chisel to chop the Domino's in half so

the bottom would pass by it when assembled. Standard wood glue didn't stick

to the resin of flooring very well so I used some epoxy to glue the legs to

the sides. To get all the dominoes lined up with the legs, and all the sides put

together. I started my assembly process by creating little sub assemblies and

then I assembled those sub assemblies together.

Since the legs are an awkward shape to clamp I use some large rubber bands to

apply a little pressure while the glue dried. I also took care to apply blue

tape along the edges to protect the form from glue squeeze out. The flooring came

from the manufacturer pre finish so I didn't want to risk scratching that

finished just to get rid of the epoxy squeezed out.

While the glue is drying on the boxes I moved on to making the lids. I set up my

shop made panel raising jig, tilted the blade to an eye-pleasing angle, and cut

the edge profile out. I always cut the end grain first as it is more likely to

tear out and whit subsequent cut along the grain will remove any of that tear out.

I then set the plate back to 90 degrees and cut a rabbit on the bottom

of the lid so it would set a little inside the box and wouldn't slide off.

The tops and legs are finished with lacquer. I used an old stool with a

swivel top to make it easier to apply the finish.

Last thing to do is make the handles

I cut the general shape out on the bandsaw leaving the line. Then I made

a jig with some toggle clamps to hold the small parts safely while routing the

final shape with a pattern bit

For the curves on the underside of the handle I cut the bulk of the material

off at the bandsaw. Then I double stick tape some stops down on the spindle

sander and picked a spindle that was close to the radius I wanted and used it

to make the final shape

To attach the handle to the lid I just used a simple dowel, a little CA glue,

eyeballed what looks straight and installed the handle. Once the glue was

set it was strong enough for this little lid

How to Build a Sales Stack Your Sales Reps Will Love | Nathan Kittrell - Duration: 1:35.

Hi everybody! I'm Nathan and I wanted to start off by saying a big thank you to

Sales Hacker for allowing me the opportunity to work with them on this

piece about developing your sales and marketing technology stack. Before we

dive into our topic I want to make sure we cover a few things just to make sure

everyone is on the same page. So before developing your sales and marketing

stack you want to be familiar with your entire sales process from the beginning

where you're developing leads all the way to the end where you're closing

business and signing contracts. By laying your sales process out like this you

allow yourself the opportunity to look at each piece individually and see where

will be the most effective use of technology in your processes. The second

thing that you need to be aware of is there are so many different tools out

there. They will not all fit your needs specifically. Before investing in a

piece of technology make sure that it integrates well with what you're doing

currently. The third thing that you need to be familiar with and be aware of

before developing your sales and marketing stack is you need to be

tracking the right information. If you're not tracking the information

appropriately you're not going to know where to invest your sales and marketing

dollars. Definitely definitely be sure that you are tracking information

correctly. I hope you find the article below helpful. If you have any questions

or comments feel free to drop them below and we would definitely love to hear

from you. Thanks so much for watching and we'll look forward to hear from you

below!
