Form 5E Projects: At the back end of the 1954/55 school year I’d completed the cutting and polishing of the eight ply veneered occasional table top. In the Metalwork Room photo I’m at the back, brazing fixing plates onto the bent metal legs.

The ashtray was made from copper that was given to us as a flat sheet. We had to cut it to shape, form it into a dish by planishing and then sweat the feet on by silver soldering.
