Could Nick Parks' successor be here?

Just some of the simple stuff.	And this is where Nick Parks needs to be on his toes.

We were asked to look at a project for the Wicor School so Colin and myself went along and were taken to Gemma, the IT teacher where we sat at a desk and she explained her problem.

She wanted a phone holder that held a phone 14 inches above the desk with the phone looking down at the desk and clamped to the desk without using clamps or screws.

At this time we looked a bit bemused and when I asked how many she sheepishly said 17. She wanted them for making animated films with 7 year olds.

Well we left and said we would see what we could do, I got back to The Shed and looked around for ideas and materials and designed a prototype which I went back and tried, modified and made the rest having raided Chris Nixon's hard drives for magnets, all the rest come from the shed and my garage.

The result was absolutely fantastic.
