Gcse Resistant Materials.

A

Hey,

I would really appreciate if you could all vote on which type of design would you use to store guitar equipment as in cables, plectrums, polish, screws, switches, tools? As this would really help me for my project work in resistant materials.

Also if you have enough time would you be able tell me why as well.

Thank you all very much.

Ahh, shitty ol' resistant materials, i feckin' hated it. You can make the results up etc if you like anyway, just choose the one you like best (Y)

S'pose it's a bit late to bother making them up now anyhoo...

Yeah and thats what im using at the moment but i'm trying to design somethin a little different.

theres no way guitar cables will fit into case A, there thich and will just spring alla over the place in those lil draws. Bottom shelf of C top of A mite be less original

[Richie]

personaly i pick C, A would have to be pretty wide for cable and the draws arent easy to make.

And B isnt realy practical for guitar stuff.

But to be fair neither is C lol.

For all my guitar cables etc. i just use a storage box does the job, maybe you should rethink your idea, as your not going to hit top marks realy for that, i made a lighthouse lamp got a B for it and my coursework was pretty crap so ended up with a F somehow.

A lad in my class built a mini woden 5watt guitar amp he got all the electrics from maplin, he got full marks just an idea.

Cheers for that mate, its very appriciated (Y)

C'mon people help me out.

I said A, you could make it so that the top two layers of draws are small, like in that picture, and the bottom two layers are bigger, so that the cables will fit (Y)

[Mr Motivator]

I made this for tech (Y)

The bottom one for guitar stuff btw (Y)

[Tomm]

I say the top one, but with wider drawers. Although the back of my amp does fine for me, with a little domino box for plectrums (Y)

Yeah when I move from place to place all the cables, pedals and plugs go in the back of my amp while everything else goes in my case.

But im trying to make something that will be for my bedroom for mainly keeping tools and screws and stuff for reparing.

Cheers

[Will Arnold]

C, with drawers like A behind one door. behind the other door have 2 shelves like in the picture.

reccon that'd be prettey good (Y)

[Haz]

A, but you need wider/deeper draws for leads and stuff, especially meaty long ones.

[Max Quinn]

I voted A but why not scrap the bottom row of drawers and have a shelf there instead. How about two little prongs on the side to wrap cables/strings round in a figure of eight shape? Just an idea.

Thanks everyone for your time, theres been some good ideas :-

And I ask anyone who hasn't voted in the poll to please do so.

Thanks

Joe

[Tony Harrison]

D) None of the above.

[Mark W]

Cables don't go "all over the place" if you wrap them correctly, and some anal guitarists would probably smear crap in your face for saying they should be stored in a figure of 8...

Anyway, I'd say a combination of A and C, although most of my stuff just lives in my acoustic bass gig bag. Big enough for all my pedals, leads, plugs and adaptors, with enough room for my 6 and 4-string basses (one at a time :-)...

[steve sturt]

I hang my cables loosely wound on hooks. Mikes are kept in their bags in a draw box similar to exhibit a, but with a variety of different size drawers. As are plectrums, screws etc. Pedals are on a home made pedal board that turns into a suit case.

[Richie]

A good idea would maybe be to make a pedal board you can have some great crazy design.

But if your after marks aswell as my old teacher said " make somthing that will apeal to the examiner ".

No joke here but why not try to tackle making a guitar to be fair it isnt all that hard after the body is made might be quite pricey but still your lookin at top marks.

Richie.

[Si-man]

I reacon C, but make it go further back so you can put holders on the doors for hanging screwdrivers etc.

You could even make the bottom shelf into a pullout draw that uses rollers.

What does it have to be made of???

I made my toolbox out of wood when I did my GCSE's, got an A for it so was happy

[mat hudson]

A or C but to be honest id use a desk tidy type system

I used the bass I made for a few gigs :D

It's the one on the far right.

EDIT: Imageshack can lick my nuts.

EDIT #2: Again :P

Try this Mark, it's a lot better than ImageShack. :D

Yeah i was think of having one that slides out with my Processors and pre amps or maybe like a rack mouting idea.

Who knows

Thanks again to everyone
