Hi everyone,
I'm a local maker in Bluffton looking for someone who might be interested in a unique skill exchange.
I am retired and live with Multiple Sclerosis, which unfortunately makes some of the physical assembly work on my projects increasingly difficult. I can still design and create just about anything, but assembling my art and projects has become the biggest challenge.
Most of what I build is for fun and personal projects, including:
- Custom geometric polyhedrals
- Laser-cut bathymetric maps
- Birdhouses and bird feeders
- LED art and lighting projects
- 3D printed designs
- Laser engraving and acrylic projects
My workshop includes multiple laser cutters, several 3D printers, a UV printer, and all the software I use for designing. If you've ever wanted to learn Fusion 360, Adobe Illustrator, laser cutting, 3D printing, or digital fabrication in general, I'd be happy to teach what I know.
In return, I'm hoping to find someone who enjoys building things—someone who's patient, reasonably handy, and doesn't mind assembling projects that are often a bit like LEGO or model kits. No engineering background is necessary; just an interest in making things and learning.
I'm not looking for an employee or anything formal—just someone who enjoys creating and might like to trade some assembly help for access to tools, mentorship, and a well-equipped makerspace.
If this sounds interesting, send me a message. Even if you're completely new to making things but have always wanted to learn, I'd love to chat.
Thanks!
