Design & Technology, Product Design Project:
For my A-Level project I designed and made a bike workstand, manufacturing every component in my design, whilst also incorporating a unique clamping device into the stand. The stand was foldable, height adjustable, could hold a bike up to 30kg and rotate it 360 degrees, whilst clamping multiple shapes and sizes of tubes. Including a in-depth writeup of the project, I gained and A* for all my work.
Design & Technology, Resistant Materials Project:
As my final project in GCSE D&T I designed and made a stylish oak side table. The key features of which, were to organize and store electronic devices whilst still being aesthetically pleasing for the set environment. I constructed it by hand all from solid white oak and finished it with soft closing ball bearing draw runners and an inlayed glass top.
Art
The display of work to the right show the portfolio produced over the two year of GCSE Artwork, including my exam pieces. I covered sculpture, clay work, building design, painting and drawing to obtain 100% mark.
