This
page shows a few of the things I get asked to do that don't fit
into any of the other categories - more coming soon.
"Fat
Cat" float for student campaign group "People and Planet"
Involvment
in this project consisted of designing and building a 12volt sound
system powered by a pedal generator. It supplied power to a 300watt
amp and PA speakers for parade music and a PA system for a rally
in Trafalgar Square.
Fireplaces
for The Big Green Gathering
In order to
cut down on firewood bills, as well as minimising damage to the
grass, BGG decided to have large communal fireplaces around the
site, to encourage people to use communal fires instead of individual
fires for small groups. These are maintained by site crew. The
brief was to build fireplaces of available materials that are
large enough for a group of people to gather round and heavy enough
to not get picked up and removed by persons unknown...
So, with a
truck full of 2" angle and 2mm steel plate, and a couple
of days in the workshop, these were created, and received a good
response from the attendees at the festival as well as the management.
The larger
ones are 8'x4', the smaller are 4' square. More elaborate versions
can be made, depending on available budget and supply of materials.
Being made for the Big Green Gathering and on a tight budget,
the brief was to use available materials, so the steel for these
was sourced from farmyard scrap rather than use new materials.
(NB the only pictures I was able to obtain were at the end of
the event).
Home
Cinema
The
brief - a small, basic 5.1 surround sound home cinema system for
boys room. The solution - a Dell DLP Projector, Goodmans all in
one DVD & Amp with 5.1 surround sound and a retractable screen.
The result - small comfy cinema space with an added link from
a pc for internet streaming and gaming.
Images
of the completed cinema will be posted soon - as soon as I can
get the kids out - they love it!
The
residence in question can meanwhile be viewed here
