6th Year Technology

Knife Holder

I came across this design after doing a bit of research on cutlery and thought this would be a nice project for my leaving cert students. They did a really good job integrating CNC'd acrylic plastic with a handcut plywood body.

Inspiration from within

Pyrography

Sometimes you get get inspired by the materials you work with. Students here use Pyrography to embellish wood projects, but we came across this piece while researching this topic and it truly inspired us. So we decided to give it a try and I think we made a pretty good job of it if I don't mind saying. Here it is below.

Click Together Picture Frame

Back to school

Summer is officially over!

Its been a lovely summer break, but we're back starting a new school term with lots of enthusiasm for the year ahead. It's great to see a new bunch of 1st year students coming into the school and like always they start sampling technology for the first time. We'll catch up with them in a few weeks to see how they are getting on. But for now here's a little something technology related.

4th Year Technology

CNC Puzzle

This is a chance for 4th year technology students to present some of their work. Designing and making an interlocking puzzle using 2D shapes was the challenge students have been working on recently. Their end products were designed using CAD software and processed using the CNC router as shown below.
