Task Everyday life revolves around the use of time. Design a stylish clock in acrylic and wood to go in a particular room in your home. The shape of the clock will be based upon a theme of your own choice and the department will provide the clock mechanism. The clock may either be free standing or fixed to the wall.

Limitations 1. You may use a number of pieces of coloured acrylic. 2. You may use a combination of hardwoods and softwoods. 3. The clock body will have to be accurately drilled to hold the clock mechanism. 4. The acrylic must be edge treated to create a polished finish. 5. The shape of the body must be based upon a theme of your choice. 6. The product must have a good standard of finish. Requirements 1. A number of initial ideas based upon a theme. 2. A working drawing of the clock body including the mechanism. This will include a front view, side view and plan. 3. A cutting list of all materials needed with sizes. 4. Paper templates of all parts. 5. A diary of all practical works with industrial processes. 6. A time plan of practical work. Extension Work 1. Design and make a holder for the mechanism at the back of the clock body. 2. Using a spreadsheet show the costing of the project including materials, the mechanism, glues, fixtures and fitments. Where might I get help / Source material? The school library to decide upon a theme. Examine clocks in your home. Examine clocks in magazines. If the clock is to be made for someone other than you ask them what theme or shape they would prefer.
