Say hello to iLight

[wattso]

I have designed and made this for my product design gcse. The apple logo and wheel's were engraved using a co2 laser machine and I cast the aluminium stand myself (took bloody years to file and buff ). Just thought I'd share it with you guys, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, let me know what you think.
I apologise for the pictures, I was getting frustrated with myself when I realised that since the purchase of a nikon d40 I still don't have the first idea when it comes to photography, I think I owe it to my camera to learn.

Wow! Great job, great idea, great design, great concept!

Your pictures are better than mine could ever aspire to be.

[MicBook]

[firelord901]

That thing is sweet. Would you consider producing another one and selling it .

 

[wattso]

Thanks for all the great comments guys
Glad you all like it.
Might even print this page off and stick it in my product design folder

that is very very cool-- i saw that you made it for a class-- about how long did it take you?

 

[phiberglass]

Thanks marykay I would guess somewhere in the region of 30 hours. That includes designing and the lengthy CAD/CAM process. Im sure I could trim that time down second time round.

Also, thanks phiberglass

EDIT: @ firelord: I would love to make another one. But I rely on schools expensive equipment and I'm not far off leaving now. And I'm sure apples legal team would have somthing to say about it ;-)

 

[BlakTornado]

Do you know what grade you got for it?

good job!

Do you know what grade you got for it?

Thank you
My teacher says its an A* providing the folder work is up to scratch. The final grade comprises of 60% exam, 10% folder, and 30% making. (I think )

 

[Schtumple]

Wow, seriously, great job.

 

[mkrishnan]

It's very nice. Good work!

 

[Karstan]

*drooling*

That is really awesome!

 

[dingster1]

Totally cool!!! You should sell that for real man!!!!

 

[wattso]

I can't thank everyone enough for these comments. I am including them all in my folder work so you can all go to bed tonight with the warm feeling that you've helped a 16 year old pass his exams

Seriously, thanks everyone.

 

[squeeks]

you could prolly sell it them for about $20 on ebay if you wanted to make a career out of it

 

[gadgetgirl85]

Wow, I wish you'd sell me one!

 

[MrSmith]
