Catapult
ByBruce Sharp July 21, 2015August 21, 2021

My friends wouldn’t stop playing with this toy. For me, that is enough evidence to call the project a success.

Good Ideas Don’t Need to be Complicated Serving Tray For an object to complete the journey from initial musings to touchable reality requires a certain fidelity, on my part, to the original idea. Discouragements take the form of excessively complex prototypes. It is difficult to let simplicity rule. The journey of the serving tray couldn’t be shorter….
