full CAD rebuild - guitar
The objective of this exercise was to take a single image and completely rebuild the object in the image, then recreate the image exactly as it appears, but with the new model. I decided to challenge myself by rebuilding a Fender Stratocaster guitar. This exercise was done earlier in my learning of SOLIDWORKS, and there are different steps I would take if I were to ever redo this exercise, including building the guitar as separate parts, then putting it together in an assembly at the end. I would also focus on building more curved pieces in Rhino3D instead.

partial CAD rebuild - watch
Similar to the guitar exercise, this exercise was aimed to help train my CAD skills before embarking in the process of completing Project Feuer. The watch case that needed to be rebuilt was from the Precista PRS-5. I was allowed to use any image of the PRS-5 to guide me, and my renders did not have to recreate a certain image. The images would simply be my guide for the details of the watch. This was built in SOLIDWORKS.
