Construction Workshop - BSA/Construction

It was when we got to the workshops that the fun really began. We knew that this is where we would learn the most simply by actually doing something tangible and real, something where you could see the consequences of the design in the way Sergison Bates were talking about. Unfortunately at this point the number of people who were involved in the workshop took a dramatic downturn as final portfolio submissions were readied and then term time was over. Lee and I were joined by two Year1’s who got really engaged and helped us to design and build the bar. Without them many mistakes would have been made, as a Gang of Four we really complimented each other, shared ideas and prevented any Damaged Goods.

The technicians were really good to us in the workshops. We had a great laugh with Spurge who, when we asked where the other half of our 200m of 2”x2” timber was accused of getting through the first 100m faster than Usain Bolt. I had the Test on my little LongWave radio which Spurge was most impressed about and we kept each other updated on the proceedings, Spurge almost breaking down from laughing so hard when Strauss got out for his duck.
