Great new project idea

Woodworking for Mere Mortals is one of my favourite Youtube channels, one that all Industrial Arts teachers should regularly check out. Over the summer break (Australia) they posted this little beauty, a charging station which I think may fit in nicely with my Industrial Technology Timber Core 1 course in 2013 seeing that the iPod Classic Dock that we made earlier in the year is now out of date and not suitable for the current devices. The students will need to think about some modifications due to the heat build-up in this project which will give them the opportunity to do some research and make some design decisions of their own.
