	I worked on a project to cut this 1 inch thick, cold rolled slab of steel, into a new base to hold a vice. The entire operation took around 45 minutes. The garnet container needed to be refilled over 10 times and I was constantly checking the orientation of the the water jet cutter. In setting up the program, I had to take into account the kerf of the water as the holes and size of the base needed to run true to the design. I ran a very slow cut for this operation to ensure ~~the~~ the deflection of the water, as it first goes through the steel, does not curve too much through the cut.

	For this project, I worked closely with Bolivar Aponte, one of The Ferris Lab members. Bolivar needed to make something to hold a spectrometry probe in a way that, when taking measurements of flowers, would not crush the petals. The original setup of the probe and holder was a slab of aluminum sitting on top of the flower, with a small hole to hold the probe. The probe itself is a cylinder with a small hole at the end where light comes out to take measurements. However, this setup crushed the flower, and made it difficult to position the probe. They also needed a design for the cylindrical holder that would not allow light to penetrate the measurement area. We came up with the solution of angling the larger holder by 45 degrees and creating a cylindrical holder for the probe, minimizing the surface area that makes contact with the flower. This setup not only preserves the flowers better, but also makes it easier to select the sample area.		For this project, I worked closely with Bolivar Aponte, one of The Ferris Lab members.

	This lab came to me because they needed a new part for their labs spectrometer to hold a prism accurately. A few graduate students tried to make this part on a manual mill, but they were not getting the tolerances needed. I created the CAM and milled their part, which hit the ~~correct~~ tolerances ~~needed~~.		This lab came to me because they needed a new part for their labs spectrometer to hold a prism accurately.
