You should look to use as many practical workshop skills as possible. This list is not exhaustive but could include:Â
Cutting of materials using a range of saws; filing materials; Wood lathe to turn timber - dials, base, cyclindrical forms, bowls; Centre Lathe to turn Aluminium / Brass parts such as dials, holders, aesthetics rings / details; CNC Router; Vacuum forming, line bending, blow moulding; Casting - pewter, concrete, resin, resin pouring.Â
The use of CAD / 3D printing for parts / connectors / fixings to add to what you design rather than the main element. Using timber sections combined with 3D printed joining 'lugs' / connectors / fixings is a really good approach.
Look at this case study from Grovemade about the design and manufacture of a new desktop speaker.
3D printed connectors / inserts combined with timbers to create furniture pieces. This is excellent and would make exciting, interesting and highly assessed work.Â
