Checking out iabs post in the projects section about his bird house got me thinking about maybe an offshoot of the 1HDC.
It might be cool to do a challenge that involved using scrap material from each individuals workplace (under the assumption that most people here have access to some kind of shop or proto dept.) Maybe have a project and give everybody a month to tackle it using the materials they use everyday. Obviously the end result doesn’t have to be a months worth of work but hopefully this would give people enough time to bang something out, a little research, a few sketches, a finished proto (maybe just a rendering if you don’t have access to have it made).
Using scrap material doesn’t have to be a set in stone rule, maybe just a bonus.
Just a thought.
