I’m talking Design Technology, Food Technology, IT, anything the works go wild.
Inspired by Ant’s ingenious 4 sided box.
I once gave in a “boat”, which was three separate bits of wood I thought could pass for such and item. In reality it was just three blocks glued together.
Made some Lord of the Rings fridge magnets using the kiln thing we had. They were shaped like the shields of Gondor, Rohan and the High Elves. Still really proud of those.
Also made a wooden jewelry box that you opened by winding a cog at the back.
Desk tidy - three four-sided wooden tube things coming out of an mdf base in the shape of the Adidas logo. Was amazing.
Also made a couple of side tables (one four-legged table with a top with like a picture frame outer and the centre being a square bit of mdf, the other being one legged with a circular top - the leg was quite elaborate, done on a lathe, with four feet coming out of it).
Other things included a trowel, keyring, fish slice and clock.
Made a beef cobbler in food technology without knowing what gravy granules looked like. I picked up a tub that said OXO on it and took it to my lesson then measured out the right amount and it looked pretty good. We had it for dinner and they choked it down. Turned out my parents stored mixed herbs in the OXO tub so I almost think it serves them right.
I half remember a pretty racist painting I did in art when I was about 11 of a mans face that was black on one side and white on the other, and the background of each half of the painting was respectively like loads of flowing lava and dark mountains in one side and pretty green fields soaked in sunshine in the other. Only reason I remember it is the teachers face upon seeing it.
