    How A Blind Person Creates 3D Models in CAD

    The primary engineering challenge in developing many of my projects, most notably Leoht Version 2, has been component modelling in CAD (computer-aided design).

    A Few More Pens – Laburnum, Maple, Tigerwood, Sycamore

    More pens resulting from my latest hobby / obsession. It’s somewhat ironic that somebody who can’t write (not with a pen at least) has found so much enjoyment and satisfaction in making these.
