norman Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) For my O level I made a weightlifting type bench, spring loaded leg contraption, it was blooming ace and in those days I was allowed into the DT room alone during lunch and after school to weld etc. Edited August 23, 2017 by norman forgot it was public 1 Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

datadiffusion Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Same here was always matey with the CDT teachers (and also thankfully not in a pre-edit Norm way) and allowed in 'as long as you leave it tidy' whenever he or the technician was in.

With old parts, if I make my own panel, I'll have a go at vacuum forming a casing for it, would be rather rewarding to do, making the panel from scratch.

When I've checked I'll pm you. You can have them foc of course. What bits and pieces do you have? Old components, panels? Or just a mixture of things? Just curious, before I go off to Maplin and buy some Transistors for a Circuit on Ron's site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
