What would be a good Instructable to make for my final GCSE Project?
It can be anyhting that will take about 20 hours to do well, incorporating wood, metal and possibly plastics. Please help me out and recommended one?

Get something useful out of it. Can you go as big as a chair? L

Yeah theres not really a size limit as such, just needs to be able to be made in a school workshop.
Pick your project with great care
1. You must be able to complete it.
2. Depending on your exam board you may need to meet their set project list
3. It must be affordable - your school or you may have a limited budget.
4. As a generality don't select something just because you want one - try to find a problem you can solve with a suitable project.
5. Look at the exam boards web site and READ their specification for the exam especially the marking guide because this is how you get marked.
6. Remember you are trying to get a good GCSE - not make something cool for you bed room (although they may go together) - don;t make life too hard for yourself.
I am a DT teacher in the UK and many of my students have done very well - up to Grade A& A8 with a mood lamp. There is loads of internet information - componants are simple and the electronics is easy - a switch, battery and a colour changing LED or two + a case of your design. http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2006/09/diy_easy_mood_light.html
The picture shown is my design you are welcome to it. Follow the links to the instructable.
