July 2021 Update Log7/11/2021  Okay, I know I have been bad at updates. To be fair, this has been the most challenging term in my 15-years teaching. With the sheer volume of marking, moderation and verification, I have been struggling to create many new resources. I have lots of 'bits' of projects to finish, but haven't had the time to progress.
Finally I can turn my attention back to making resources. I noticed I had created a lot for Graphic Communication recently, so wanted to make some stuff for practical aspects of our courses. As always a huge THANK YOU to 'Coffee Supporters'. Without you, I would need to close this site. The updates for July 2021. This will be updated on an ongoing basis: Birdfeeder Project (Broad General Education):
Design & Manufacture I have started adding resources for a small metal/plastic tea-light candle holder

Like wood?4/6/2018 Wood is awesome!
Getting students to understand the beauty of wood can be difficult if they are stuck using only red-deal pine. However, wood can be very expensive - especially hardwoods. Well, it may be of interest, but the charity company Scottish Hardwoods, in Fife, Scotland are great at supporting schools and young people get interested in craftsmanship. It is a huge facility set in the Inzievar woods, with some expert craftsmen that love to share their knowledge. they process hardwoods from throughout Scotland for a variety of customers. They can explain the whole process of cutting, drying and preparing wood for a variety of processes. Best-of-all, they have a warehouse with lots of stunning offcuts that they sell for incredibly low prices. This is a facility that I strongly recommend visiting.
