Workshop Wednesday 12/03/14

While Jon and Jeremy are busy meeting and interviewing potential students for next year, we have been busy in the workshop!

This week, first years are mainly focusing on their first clock overhaul which had to be a strike mechanism of some kind. Some had a few initial problems with their clocks and Simon is now a 'Re-pivoting Expert', but most are now ticking away and have been for a few days. Second years are either working on portfolios or their pallet project which are to be finished before the Easter holidays.
