Love the idea behind this Coca-Cola initiative to save on waste. I posted it on Twitter, however, I think it belongs on the blog. I’m thinking there’s a strong concept for a great Design and Technology task.

How It’s Made Plastic Bottles & Jars
The resources that are freely available online (sometimes of dubious copyright) amaze me. It’s no wonder modern students can sometimes feel overwhelmed. Never fear, I hope that this blog can find and share some of the most useful for your studies in Design and Technology.
Here’s a great video on the manufacture of bottles and jars.
Now see those bottles recycled into polyester.
Barcodes, how they work.
I blogged a few years ago about my early experiments with QR Codes. Well here is a great detailed explanation of how Barcodes work, very interesting.

Veneers and Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)
Two excellent resources I found on Youtube recently that show the manufacture of several timber products. Although a little long in the tooth they make excellent resources for student and teachers covering Industrial Technology and Design and Technology.

I posted this video a few weeks ago using Twitter (@MrSully_) and it’s started to get quite a few retweets. So I thought, just for those people who aren’t using Twitter, why not? I should repost it here.

Writing examinations, marking, reporting completing my own training, workshops, and federal elections, whew! when does it get quiet. Well now, a little. So I’ll ease myself into the whole blogasphere again with this great video for what looks like a wonderful new book ‘The Unplugged Workshop – Hand Crafted Projects for the Home‘. After having my own workshop as a cabinet maker many moons ago, with all the machinery and overheads that go with that. I now start to feel like this is where I’d love to end up. Enjoy the video, I might go order the book.
