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.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.


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.

 

The tech was one of those educated but dropout herbal cigarette smoking types who really didn't give a toss what I got up to with mains electricity!

That's bad that you were accused of buying it, but it also says it was better than anything the teacher was expecting.

I made a continuity tester thing, made it in a circular casing all vacuum formed.

 

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. 

Merry Xmas

Download and save before they remove it (it's been discontinued, a bit like my boat...)

@Gabs I'll have a look in my garage tomorrow, I'm sure I have some bits and pieces that you could make use of. 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

Thanks, I'll have a look at that, schematic looks pretty big though, more complex than the Logic 4

Not sure, nothing old and ancient. A few components maybe.
