The discussion revolves around the challenge faced by a freshman engineering student at IIT to create an innovative product that can be manufactured using workshop methods such as carpentry and metal casting. Participants are invited to suggest problems that the product could address.
Participants have not reached a consensus, as multiple ideas and suggestions are being explored without a definitive direction or agreement on a specific product.
There is a lack of clarity regarding the specific problems that need addressing, as well as the scope of the project (whether it is practical or theoretical). Some assumptions about the target audience and materials are also not fully articulated.
This discussion may be useful for engineering students seeking inspiration for product design, as well as those interested in practical applications of workshop skills in addressing real-world problems.

We have been asked to manufacture a product, something that is made in workshops, (i.e. should include, but may not restricted to, carpentry, casting of metals, and such other methods.) The product should be innovative, and should address some problem. I am running out of ideas, so please put forward your problems so I may find a solution to them.
