This is CAD of the Hand Truck frame we are turning into a wheelchair.
This is the same frame, bent to start to look like a chair. We do it in CAD first to avoid wasting resources.
We are filing out the holes for the caster wheels. Vanessa learned to use pneumatic tools, and a file.
A finished caster made out of gas pipe and the original wheel of the hand truck.
Frame is finally bent.
Wheels are on. Recognizable shape now.
The "finished" wheelchair. The night before the tech fest.
