Hi all
I have been lurking for a while and thanks for the great site. :)
I teach Manual Arts / ITD in a QLD state high school yrs 7 -> 12.
I am sick of timber toys, boxes, and the normal projects students do and am looking for interesting ideas (and hopefully some free plans).
Some current projects are the legacy of past teachers, I am "new" so starting to change the program for the better....
I prefer for the projects to be useful and a bit dynamic / arty.
Current students are doing
Yr 7 doing a Timber WW2 fighter styled plane.
Yr 8 Just did a ply / pine pencil case and need another project ASAP :)
Yr 9 doing a laminated chess board and chess set, nougats and crosses on back and if time a coffee table display box where the chess board is the lid.
Yr 10 tray table where the legs and tray separated allowing you to take to kitchen then out to legs (french provincial alfresco style)
and sheet metal work "boxes" and tool carry all.
Yr 11 / 12 (combined) have done sheet metal toolbox (spot welder), some school use stage platforms, repairs on outdoor equipment and now some laminated breadboards / chess boards. EOY will be some doing welding (tig / mig) and brazing work.
I would appreciate some ideas / input to get some new ideas....
Links to pics etc anything really.
Biggest issue is budget.... needs to be low cost :(
I have a fair amount of 11 and 19 mm pine and some harder woods for the rest of the year.
I know how to stretch a budget a make every dollar count. :~
Next year thinking Cigar box guitars (new), chess boards, tray table, something new in sheet metal but looking for more ideas.
Cheers and thanks
