Here’s a thing I built for EC Rush 2013. It’s a swingset, but instead of seats, it contains a suspended sofa.
It’s not that complicated, so I won’t say much. Here’s a frame.
I drafted the frame in Solidworks and submitted a bill of materials and proposal to the EC Rush Chairs to get lumber.
Here’s what it looked like when we built the frame.
This photo was taken from the top of the fort.
Here’s the finished swing.
Cheers.
For the past 7 weeks, I’ve been in China and Taiwan teaching Engineering and American Culture classes for summer camp -style programs at different universities through the program MIT-CETI. It’s been a blast; I’ve met lots of cool people in my travels, and I’m going to miss China and Taiwan a lot.
The first city I visited was Kunming, Yunnan. One of my favorite things about Kunming was the colorful lighting that illuminated the city at night. I’m not just talking about bars and shops. Even office buildings and residential buildings were covered in LED lights, and not just simple lights, but gaudy color-changing, flashing, pattern-changing ones. I thought it made Kunming very pretty, and I wish we had this in Boston. I guess we’ll just have to settle for the Pru.
Anyway, it was so pretty that I made a video. Sorry for the shitty quality; I don’t know how to edit videos, and it was all taken on a cell camera. Still, enjoy!
