The evidence

With the end of term comes the opportunity to catch up on some of the paperwork.  I have produced a pad saw handle, a sheet metal template and a block & stud to show the use of hands tools and equipment in motor vehicle engineering. This being a part of City & Guilds element of the course I need to evidence those skills. So now I need to photo my work and fill the form in.  Will email into college later.
