What did your teacher make while you were occupied?

Woodshop & metalshop was in the 8th grade. Made a few small things I
can't even remember, and a potters whell for mum. It had a kick arm to
keep a flywheel going. Metalshop was a center punch and the "biggie" was
a firewood carrier/holder. It was a circular piece of sheet steel with 4
hunks of chopped off heavy aluminum angle rivetted to it for feet and a
beefy hunk of aluminum bar rolled into a circle that wrapped arount the
curved steel carrier for a handle. It was also rivetted to the steel
shell. The wood carrier is still in mum's house though no more in use as
she had a NG insert put in the fireplace. She's too old (93) to use the
potters wheel, and it disappeared a few years ago, hopefully to one of her
great-grandchildren.
