BRCHN Design House Racing
Over the past two years, we’ve engineered and fabricated many custom parts on the BDH racecar; in fact Sam built most of this car from a bare shell! With a few test days at Willow Springs Raceway under its belt, we crowned the BDH #38 Alfa Romeo by racing it in the CSRG Corkscrew Classic at the famed Weathertech Laguna Seca raceway. The car posted quick lap times and ran great throughout the whole weekend.
Making a PROFESSIONAL motorsports alignment system
I got the idea for this snap in place alignment box after walking through the IMSA paddock and spending far too much time setting toe on the Alfa after geometry changes.
Designing a steering column shroud for the bdh race car
Another quick racecar part design project; this shroud makes the cockpit feel a bit more finished and professional.
Designing Custom turn signal fairings for the bdh race car
I had a certain look in mind for the turn signal lights on the Alfa. Follow along as I 3D scan the body to get the organic shape into CAD as a reference for my signal fairing design. A quick project, but a satisfying result.
10 years of bdh !
For me, this is cool. A decade of having the privilege to do what I love and make a living from it. Thinking back on the clients we’ve worked with and the projects we’ve done, it’s hard to believe how many there has been. Each client relationship has been special. It takes so much to go from idea to production. Seemingly millions of emails.. countless hours in CAD.. thousands of prototypes.. hundreds of meetings & manufacturer visits.. and many successful product launches. I really get to know the people who choose to work with us and trust us to help make their ideas a reality. You don’t think about it in the moment, but BDH has done a lot in ten years; it’s not something I take for granted. Having a positive impact on society is what it’s about for me.. I sure am excited for what’s to come!
A laminar flow / bernoulli principle range hood
A personal home project; I designed this range hood which punches above its class due to the prioritization of aerodynamic principles. Here’s a video on the process:
A video on manufacturing in the USA from the perspective of a startup
While great & viable manufacturing in America can be had, I found this video to be quite accurate for many cases from the perspective of a prospective consumer goods startup.
Speaker stand v2
We recently revisited our Devialet Phantom II speaker stands for a redesign. What do you think?
Interior design
While consumer products are our bread & butter, we love to flirt with interior design. Here’s a bathroom sink we designed.
BDH Race car build
Current client work is all NDA'd up but we're making a BDH race car on the side to show some of our work. Here's the first of many custom components.
