By Yvonne Greenen in ME 203 Design and Manufacturing Fall 2015

Materials

Aluminum, brass, leather

Processes

Sand casting, milling

Design Goals

To make a pair of riding spurs that don't slip out of place and to simplify the spur strap design.

Challenges

Molding a casting pattern to the geometry of my boots and using follow blocks helped me learn the complexities of pattern-making and casting.
