Our Make it in March competition has had over 300 entries and we’ve finally whittled them down to our two winners. The standard of entries to the competition has been incredibly high and there are some fantastic makers out there. But, there can only be two winners and here they are!

Over 16 winner

Lataxe Ludd

This is a bedding or washing chest in oak, made in the Cotswold Arts & Crafts style. It lives at the bottom of a Cotswold-style A&C queen-size bed also of oak. It’s frame & panel construction with a few typical Cotswold motifs such as half-cogged dovetails and pinned through tenons. The lid and the floor are slatted to allow the cloth things in it to “breathe”. The bottom slats also include cedar to see-off the moths.

Lataxe Ludd, over 16 winner

16 and under winner

Designed and made this in March for my GCSE project. Brief: a child’s toy box. Features marine theme, rope handles, coloured blocks/numbers, fun wheels & safety stay. Great fun, learnt lots incl. how to biscuit joint, resin pot pencils + turn on lathe & CAD/CAM.
