Wooden Wheelchair
The challenge
People all over the world need wheelchairs but don't have access to them. This would allow people to build their own wheelchair, even if they don't have CNC machines.
Who it helps
We recently started working with Alex for the past couple months. He showed us the idea of a wheelchair that could be built with a CNC machine and challenged us to redesign it without using a CNC machine.
How it works
All the places in the world that need wheelchairs but don't have the machines to make it will be able to build their own easily.
A wheelchair that can be built from wood, like 2x4s, that can be easily obtained, without the need of a CNC machine
Tools needed
Protective glasses
Measurement tool
