Give Us All A Laugh On You, Or You Could Get Some Admiration.

[nicebloke1]

In either the very early years of school, or as you progressed. What did you make, and allowed to take home that made you very proud of your achievement.
It can be anything from, gluing and sticking toilet rolls together to, cooking, sewing, pottery, woodwork, metal work, or a great piece of artwork. Anything you can remember.
Bragging is allowed for any great successes in your eyes.

One that tends to stick with me is, my first class in woodwork. Supplied with 1 piece of softwood, 8 inches long, 2 inches in width, 1 inch in depth. We had to make a boat, a point at the front, ( the bow) and a slightly round stern, drill a hole near to the bow, and fix a flag pole in. Sand down nice and smooth, varnish it next lesson. Mum said she loved it??? :0>

I have two of those boats in pride of place which two of my children made.
I don’t remember making anything at school to bring home except an apron for cookery, which I still have. Hated making it and it actually fits me now, I was 12 when I made it.

An awful woodwork product, a garden dibber, that I was not proud of so it went out of the train window on the way home. Mum never knew about it.

I don't remember making anything apart from in cookery and sewing. It took me so long to make the apron to hold my sewing projects I never did anything else. The only cookery 'disaster' as far as my teacher was concerned, was sausage rolls which I glazed and they ended up with a lovely stripe instead of being glazed all over.

I am absolutely useless at drawing and I have the proof. I have a school report showing I came 32nd in art in a class of 31 boys. You can't get much worse than that.
