I just finished a website that I´ve been working on for a while for a school project. The goal of the project was to create a product using cad and cnc and then make a website for the product. The site is in swedish by default, but you can change the language by clicking on the flags.

Check it out and say what you think about it:
http://lunchbox.info.se/

edit: You´ll need flashplayer 7 or later for the gallery section and activate javascript if you have disabled it.

Somehow painless wasn't how I imagined carrying that thing.

By way of demonstration, he emitted a batlike squeak that was indeed bothersome.

Quote: "The parts of the box has been connected to eachother with finger joints"


To correct the grammer(since its a school project), it should say "have been connected" unless you make "parts" singular. And then obviously "eachother" needs a space. If swedish is your native language, then its a forgivable mistake so no worries.


That box weighs more than my laptop! Did you actually make this or are these just 3D renders? Also, that type of joint you showed, isn't that more for wood? Because I would've thought you would just weld the edges.

Great, thanks! I´ll fix it right away!

Yeah, we could just had weld them together. But we thought it would look nicer this way.

We completed it. Just look at all the gallery images. Some of the images even has a "HD" button which brings up a full size version of the photo.

i agree, the finger joint gives a certain appeal to some furniture i think.

Good work. Did you guys consider putting padding on the handle?

Looks great and doubles as an Explosive Containment Box!

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

@mr smoke:
The Swedish school system is a bit different from the US, I think, and whe begin school one year later. I just ended the first 9 years at primary school, and now I´m at a "upper secondary technical school"(directly translated). In Sweden this kind of school I is called a "gymnasium", don´t misunderstand it as a "gym"-gymnasium though. wikipedia explanation-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnasium_%28school%29

@Jerico2day:
Thanks a lot, I was very unsure about that one. It sounded so strange the way I wrote it.

It's still a bit off, just weird phrasing. You might want to go with "This website was developed by:". But otherwise the website itself was done quite nicely, and the translation/ajax-ish implementation should earn you some bonus points^.^
