Cornwall College Saltash have Created a Working Bicycle out of Recycled Scrap Metal

An adult

evening Plumbing class at Cornwall College, Saltash have just completed a

project to build a working bicycle completely out of recycled scrap metals from

their workshop.

The

bicycle was designed during one three-hour session and was built during the

following two evenings. It has working steering and wheels and will be on

display at the College as an excellent example of what can be achieved with recycled

materials and little or no soldering experience.

Richard

Powell, Head of Technology at the Saltash School for Cornwall College said,

“Our plumbing students had a great time during this project and put some of the

skills they have learnt during their time with us into practice”.

Dave

Linnell OBE, Principal of Cornwall College, said: “This has been a brilliant

project for our plumbing students to get involved in and shows how much they

have learnt. We pride ourselves on the facilities available for our students

and at Saltash there is a lot of opportunity for those looking to get involved

in plumbing and construction.”
