Institutional Transition: Applying Scientific Rigor to Mechanical R&D
For over 30 years, I was immersed in scientific research, but something always pulled me beyond theory—I wanted to build, to invent. The turning point came when I had to reconfigure a fold-away couch to make it comfortable. It wasn’t pretty, but it worked—and that moment of problem-solving made me realize I was meant to invent.
The Inventor’s Toolbox isn’t just a guide; it’s the result of years of trial and error, designed for those who want to bring their ideas to life, even with limited resources. If you’ve ever had an idea but didn’t know where to start, this book is for you.
