    Are you all nearly finished yours then? Or are some of you already lucky enough to have finished it? :D

    I just need to finish a few things off on mine (I'm making a stool) and I have to add a few things into my folder...

    Finished my tech project last friday, portfolio's done all clad with CAD drawings and stuff.

    Project itself has a few rough edges and the interior is disgusting looking but the outside plastic is smooth, shiny and full of vinyl stickering.

    I did the car logo that supposed to light up at night and have a motorised mechanism. The LDR burned out or something after I sealed the case.

    A stool as an item of furniture has many uses.

    Design and make a sturdy and elegant stool for use in the home. The stool should be designed to have a secondary function specific to the area in which it is to be used. You should demonstrate how you considered your carbon footprint in the design, selection of materials and in the processes used in the manufacture of the stool.

    Eh, when I did mine, it was just taking pictures of the progress of your project, from start to finish, and adding comments in beside them?

    Yeah, I think its in the evaluation. Just say something like:

    Here's my finished piece before I engraved it. I chose to manufacture it from Oak due to it's durability, and because it is aesthetically pleasing.
