Our sustainable skateboard design and manufacturin

Our sustainable skateboard design and manufacturing research is really beginning to come together. In addition to the palm frond and reinforced composite “deck”, we’ve added riser pads (i.e., the plastic spacer between the metal truck and the wood board) that are 3D printed from recycled water bottles. Water bottles are cleaned, shredded, oven dried, extruded into filament, and finally 3D printed all on site at UWF! Both the skateboard deck and recycled PETE 3D printing began as student Capstone projects with @sea3dlab #uwf #uwfhmcse #uwfme #mechanicalengineering #3dprinting #recycle #palmtrees #sustainable #skateboard #thankyouskateboarding #skateboardingisfun

Cottonmouth snake removal method: 1. Go to grab ga

Cottonmouth snake removal method:
1. Go to grab garden hose and come face-to-face with an open mouthed venomous snake.
2: After changing shorts, grab 10ft pvc pole and trash can (don’t worry, I’m an engineer) to catch it.
3: Release snake in woods (momentarily losing sight of it and hoping it’s not coming my way). #cottonmouthsnake #watermoccasin #venomoussnakes #floridalife

Spring classes are over at #uwf which means I can get some work in on the bus! After finally finding the correct rear bumper for the 67, then unfolding, sandblasting, welding, and straightening it, I’m on to paint. #21window #vwbus #vw #volkswagen #vanlife #splitscreen #21windowbus

Our latest palm frond skateboard design with kick-tail, concave, and composite reinforcements. It’s both lightweight and flexible...looking forward to “testing” this weekend! #uwfhmcse #uwf #uwfme #skateboard #thankyouskateboarding #palmtrees #recycle #sustainabledesign
