I failed to make a clock-face...
...using a vacuum-former back at school. The face was dish-shaped to house the battery, but I took a small chunk out of it by accident, I think when cutting it out from the plastic sheet.

Anyway, the ruined face made the most fantastic frisbee. It flew like a bloody dream, and always had a graceful curl to its flight. It was so popular that the whole year ended up playing with it at breaktime, until some bugger chucked it about 500 yards and it went on the school roof.

Short-lived, but tremendous.

"... and it went on the school roof."

What a clock-up.

I remember
Using a vacuum-former to coat a door knocker I'd made in a metal work class.

The metal didn't really make a knocking sound once it had been covered in plastic though...

They were great things
I remember loads of people trying to surreptitiously make things from it, and the teachers would always go mental because of the cost of the plastic.
