1. iPhone case

I have the idea to make an iPhone case because they are so many and there is such a demand for them. I have an iPhone and it would be really cool to make one and actually use it. There are many types and I think some of them are made poorly so I want to make a solid case that is both goodlooking and protective. 

The camera is 3.5-inch (89 mm) LED backlit liquid crystal display with a 960×640 pixel resolution is marketed as the "Retina display".

The case is 115 millimetres (4.5 in) high, 59 millimetres (2.3 in) wide, and 9.4 millimetres (0.37 in) deep, compared to the iPhone 3GS, which is 116 millimetres (4.6 in) high, 62 millimetres (2.4 in

Height: 4.5 inches (115.2 mm)

Width: 2.31 inches (58.6 mm)

Depth: 0.37 inch (9.3 mm)

Weight: 4.9 ounces (140 grams)

Wood is a hard, fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It has been used for thousands of years for both fuel and as a construction material. 

A plastic material is any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable. Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances. They are usually synthetic, most commonly derived from petrochemicals, but many are partially natural.

A metal is a solid material  that is typically hard, opaque, shiny, and features good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals are generally malleable—that is, they can be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking—as well as fusible (able to be fused or melted) and ductile (able to be drawn out into a thin wire).

I think that I can use metal, plastic, or wood to make the case. I think the materials I would use are:

Saw, glue, heat gun, pliers, scissors, power tools to cut shapes and make the foundation, ruler, scale, and other types of tools that can help form the shape of the case. 

2. Hockey stick stool

Stool dimensions: 36inches high x 12inches wide x 18 inches deep

I will use hockey sticks and cut them into straight pieces

Dimensions of a stick: 1 5/32″ wide x 3/4″ tall :: L – max: ~55″.

This base will consist of 4 legs with supports. The top will be made up of shorter pieces. 

Materials:

Hockey sticks

Mitre Saw

Drill

Screws

Level

Sandpaper

Ruler

Glue

I would really enjoy making a stool that I can use and it would be nice to learn how to make someone useful and something that would mean something to me.

The process would be a lot of work but I'm up for the challenge.

3.Hockey clock

I would really enjoy making a clock out of hockey related materials because I can both use it and it would be nice to have a connection to hockey with it. The engineering part with the actually clock would make it that much cooler.

Clock shaft lengths I’ve found generally don’t exceed 15/16″, so dial thicknesses can’t be much more than 3/4″ to include a nut. For us, dials are either pucks or sticks. Since a puck is 1″ thick, the clock movement e. Routing 9/32″ of the way into a puck gives a much better result as shown in Desk Clock. 

Tools:

Mitre Saw

3″ Hole Saw

Wire Crimper

Drill

4 bar clamps

Hardware:

Around 5 sticks

1 box of #8, 3/4″ sheet metal screws

1 Marine grade plywood, 3/8″ x 12″ square

1 Polycarbonate sheet, 3/32″ x 12″ square

#4 Picture Frame Wire

4 vinyl bumpers

2 Blue ring terminals (14-16 AWG)

Liquid Nails/Glue
