Re: Your creations

My other siblings made clay owls, I made a clay/glazed pig and tortoise.

Also made one of those clay bowls where you roll the clay into big long lengths then coil up to make the base then the sides.

My sister still has the "pin and string" pictures like this:



Only hers was sprayed silver and an owl shape.

Things I remember making in metal/woodwork in Secondary school:

A hammered copper pot with a perspex lid
A perspex sign
a metal paint scraper

When I was an apprentice I made a tool box, a scriber, an oil can and all sorts of stuff which I have somewhere.

My wife made a "Rainbow Holder" when she was a kid, it was made from two paper plates with a paper hinge (so it opens like a clam) with some paint on. She gave it to her dad when she was little as "it can hold everything", he still has it. He even showed it during his speech at our wedding.

Re: Your creations

I made a coffe table, a tele cabinet and a fishing float box in wood work.

I am proud to say that they are all still standing after approx 25 years. Mum has them all.

I made a pottery fish which was broken by my little sister I think. :cry:

Re: Your creations

So many bad memories of what I didn't get to make. My two best friends were in a different class to me at school and generally got different teachers to me in their lessons. I remember them making all sorts of things; wooden stools, bird boxes and key holders in woodwork, cool perspex key rings in CDT and fab clay dragons and elves in art. I never got to make any of these things. For some reason we didn't even do woodwork, we never got to do pottery in art at all and for CDT we had a grumpy old teacher who only let us make a screwdriver (bent bit of metal with flattened end) and a 'fuse tester' (block of wood with nails and fuse holder and wires soldered on). SO boring and I'm still bitter! I'm not even sure why my division never got to do those things. It's not like it was an ability split, just a division in the school between certain classes because it was so big. I was short changed!

Re: Your creations

This wasn't actually my own creation, but.........
When I was about 14/15 during crafts lessons we were all making stuff, I can't actually remember what I was making at the time.
But one of my best friends (to this day) spent several weeks (months ?) making a kitchen roll holder for his Mum.
However, not being the brightest, he ended up nailing both ends on, so it was impossible to actually put a kitchen roll on it.
But he still gave it to her, and it was on their kitchen wall for a good few years, without a kitchen roll of course.

But this the man who once raised the incredible question -
"What time does the 24 hour garage close ?"
