This is nothing car related but i made it so i guess this would be the place to show it off.
My HSC Major work just completed it.

What sort of timber did you use?

[Trypt]

Aus Red cedar. tried to match the ply as cedar ply is far too dear but its not nearly perfect.

[Joe]

That looks good mate

[douglasgiersch]

Looks good mate decent portfolio and be getting band 5 easy.

[Trypt]

Folio will be the death of me though. still got a couple weeks to finish all the typing.
Thanks fellas

Looks like nice work... Not sure about the colour of the ply and the panels in the doors though..

[Scrawny]

Yeah im disapointed in the ply. tried my best to match it with stain but didnt darken nearly as much as the cedar when poly was applied.

JFYI cedar veneer was nearly 300 for a sheet which is IMO F$%&IN rediculous and i wasnt going to pay that.

As for the door infill its brushed Poly carb to tie in with the brushed stainless handles and the satin finish.
Had some clear lexan but was too thick and would have applied too much pressure on the curved panels.

What's the plug pack on the floor for? Has it got LED's or similar in it?

[Trypt]

yes it sure does

They are the same led strips i used for my interior lights on the zook

the lead and transformer are removeable with a flush female plug on the back.
The red led is to indicate when there is power to the switch.

They are all flush mounted into 8mm trenches

Mate it looks great, well done. I aced D&T at high school too, was my fave subject.

Made a guitar amp taller than me LOL

[Trypt]

Thanks. this is for Industrial Tech, more emphasis is made on workmanship and the product then the folio like D&T

[Dr_Snapid]

My folio sucked LOL

Come of think of it, my workmanship wasnt great, but it's all covered in carpet so...

Your looks really good workmanship, something to be proud of. Love the curved top

[Trypt]

Yeah that was done by hand out of a solid block.
Veeeeeerry sore arns at the end of that day

Awesome work! I LOVE working with timber and given the chance again I would choose that field rather than electronics.
Can't say I am good at it, but there is just so much job satisfaction in an area like that.
What are you hoping to get into?

[GRPABT1]

Very nice, well done.

Thanks!
Im actually hoping i get a fitter machinist apprenticeship, fingers crossed. Ive got the last round of interviews before medicals in a couple of weeks
if i dont get this one i will try elsewhere for diesel fitter, mechanical fitter or fitter machinist.
If i do get this one it must be saying something as there is only 5 positions available and there was 500 odd applicants

[BlueSuzy]

Nice wood

Metal is better

I'm a maintenance fitter, I was a fitter machinist...Just a little side step

Good money in the right place

[rustyzook]

nice! make sure you have a good portfoilo, when i did my hsc years ago i made a bar, and got marked bad on my foilo as it was rushed and i have paperwork!

that is a piece of art hope you get a band 5 i dont see why you wouldent

[TZAR]

I made a bowl in high school.....

Somehow it just doesn't quite compare.

naturally wooden products look very beautiful but when it is decorated with proper element it seems awesome and gorgeous.this study table looks really very beautiful.the decoration is not too costly but looking costly only for the decoration of LED LIGHTS.

Nice...

[Trypt]

thanks

[joeblow]

I want one!

[Trypt]

i dont want to make another...

I can sell you plans though

[Moph]

Very nice work!

Something I noticed which might get picked up on during marking though is that the switch should probably be on the other side of the power lead. In it's current location the plug will interfere with the use of the switch. Serioiusly good work though.

Side note - Jaycar sell 90* versions of the male plug end for about a buck. I'd be fitting one of those rather than the straight plug you've got on there at the moment. Just adds a finishing 'design' touch as it allows you to position the cabinet closer to the wall than the current plug. Would also make it easier to get at the switch.

I never actually though of those things, if only you had brought it to my attention 2 weeks ago i could have done something before submisson
