Fishing Reel



 This trimester I decided to reverse engineer something in my independent study class. I decided on reverse engineering a fishing reel on AurtoDesk Inventor because I wanted to do something challenging that had a lot of parts to assemble. I made and assembled every part of the fishing reel independently. In order to measure each part as accurately as possible I used a micrometer that was accurate to 3 decimal places. This is not my final rendering. I am still working on improving my rendering skills. I plan on entering my final rendered image this spring in MITES.

Copper Pipe Cutter


I reverse engineered theis pipe cutter last year in my engineering class. I took all the dimensions using a micrometer.
