last week my daughter came home for a school project.
she had to make an egg drop box. she had a limited choice of materials, wood, wool, sugar, water and paper.
she already had some wood and tried to cut it with a hand saw......
so I squared it all on the table saw and gave her some directions.
she made the whole box herself, drilled holes for the nails and screws.
she filled the box with sawdust (egg in the middle) and screwed the top on.
the box was dropped from 20 feet!!!
the third time one of the sides came loose, but the egg was still in one piece!
great project,
the picture is from the box before she dropped it.
