My Gap (from Assignment 4)
I want a portable workshop that stow nicely in our crammed apartment store-room and is suitable for doing heavy-duty or messy wood- and metalwork such as sawing and painting.
My Gap (for Assignment 2 and 3)
I want a workshop in our crammed apartment that is portable, stowable and quick to set up and take down.
I really want to do it because I do not have access to a proper workshop. Every time I have some simple repair to do it takes more time to prepare a small workspace and to clean up after than it takes to do the actual job. I spoke to 3 colleagues and they all had the same problem. My wife too agrees that it is hard to pick up any repair projects because it is a hassle to set up and clean up the same evening. It seems to be a simple woodworking project.
My Gap (for Assignment 1)
I want a kit of writing implements that are made to keep with me at all times. It needs to include pens, pencil and paper.
I do believe that such a thing can be made by stitching together cloth and something stiff (cardboard or plastic), which is within my means. It is simple enough that I should be able to assemble several prototypes during the course of this course. I do very much want such a thing, and I have found 3 persons who would like one as well.
