3. Categories of Wood Your box will be mainly constructed using a popular and easy to use type of wood called PINE. Wood can be separated into TWO main families HARDWOODS and SOFTWOOD. Each of these categories of wood describes naturally grown timber. Both hardwood and softwood can be combined or used alone to create MANMADE or MANUFACTURED BOARD. PLYWOOD, BLOCK BOARD, and MEDIUM DENSITY FIBREBOARD (MDF) are examples of these. HARDWOOD Hardwoods come from deciduous or broad-leafed trees. They are usually slow growing which tends to make them harder but more expensive. Hardwoods are sold by the cubic metre then this is sawn to the desired length. Hardwoods usually have a broad leaf shape. Hardwoods are deciduous which means they lose their leaves. You can distinguish hardwoods by the structure of the wood grain. More expensive than softwoods because they take longer to grow SOFTWOOD Softwoods come from coniferous trees which have needles instead of leaves. Softwoods grow faster than hardwoods and so are cheaper and are easier to work with because they are often softer than hardwoods. They are usually supplied in standard sections sawn and planned smooth. Softwood sizes are confusing because they are smaller once they are planned. Evergreen trees are special because they don’t lose their leaves. Softwoods grow faster than hardwoods so are cheaper. Often used as building material. Trees grow tall and straight so giving long planks of wood.

4. Box Joints Boxes of various shapes and sizes are the basis of many things made in wood. A DOWEL JOINT does have mechanical strength, because the wooden peg (dowel) goes into both pieces of wood. Glue adds further strength. A COMB JOINT is an interlocking joint which, when well made and glued has a lot of strength. A DOVETAIL JOINT is more complicated and difficult to make than the other on this page. Often a router and jig are used to make this joint. When glued a dovetail joint is extremely strong. The BUTT JOINT is the simplest joint to use as with all joints, both pieces of wood need to be cut accurately. It has no mechanical strength of its own and relies entirely on glue and nails/pins. The LAP JOINT has a shoulder which gives it a little more rigidity than the butt joint. Like the butt joint it relies on glue and nails/pins for its strength Correctly label/name the following items used in the Design & Technology Workshop. Which Joint do you think would work best for your box? – Give reason why. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

5. Analysing the Project. Design & Technology Design Situation: (The problem you are going to solve) You have a selection of small items that are easily broken and you need somewhere to store them. Design Brief: (What you are going to do to solve the problem) Design and Make a Box (160mm by 120mm) to store these items so they do not get broken or lost. Things to Consider: Where is the box going to be used? Who will your box be for? Will you ever want to change the objects that are stored? How are you going to open your box? Will you need separate compartments within your box? Box Project What I think makes an effective Task Analysis is: From completing this page I have learnt: Date:

6. Specification: Design & Technology Target Market (Who will use it and where? What will you have to do to make sure it appeals to them and why?) Function (What will your product be designed to do? Where is it going to be used? What must you ensure that it does?) Materials (What material will your box or any other components be made out of and why?) Aesthetics (What is it going to look like? Why is that important?) A Specification is: _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ Write 3 other bullet points explaining what your design must have or do and explain why below: ____________________________________________________________________________________ Date

7. Write down the main differences between HARDWOOD & SOFTWOOD. Task: Produce a detailed pencil drawing of 2 BOX JOINTS. Make sure you label the drawing and clearly show any additional fixings needed such as nails, pins or dowel pegs. Colour should be used to indicate WOOD GRAIN - this is called rendering. Name of BOX JOINT 1 __________________________ Name of BOX JOINT 2 __________________________ You have correctly identified at least 1 box joint. You have used pen or pencil. Some lines have been drawn using a rule. The joint drawing fills at least half the space given. You have correctly identified both box joints. You have used pencil and colour attempted. All straight lines have been drawn using a rule. The joint drawing fills at least 75% of the space given. You have identified both joints. You have used pencil accurately and neatly. Lines have been skilfully drawn using a rule. The colour applied represents accurately the grain of pine.

8. In this box list as many of the BOX JOINTS you can remember – in order of strength.. WEAKEST STRONGEST Using a and mark a 15mm shoulder line around each of your sides. 12 3 You have included the main stages. At least 2 marking out tools have been correctly identified. At least one sketch has been attempted. You have described the main stages. More than 2 marking out tools have been correctly identified. At least one sketch has been used to illustrate your description. You have described the main stages. All marking out tools have been correctly identified. Clear sketches have been used to illustrate your description. Dimensions included.

9. In the boxes below – DRAW 2 MARKING OUT TOOLS and NAME 3 OTHERS Name of MARKING OUT tool 4 Name of MARKING OUT tool 3 Name of MARKING OUT tool 5 You have correctly named at least 2 of the marking out tools. You have drawn 1 tool using pen or pencil. Your sketches are freehand. Some lines have been ruled. No colour. You have correctly named at most of the marking out tools. Your drawings are in pencil. Your sketches are a mixture of freehand and rule. Some colour used. Some spelling mistakes. Correctly named at ALL the marking out tools. Your drawings are neat and pencil. All straight lines have been ruled. Drawings are accurately rendered to match tool material. No spelling errors. MARKING OUT tool 1 MARKING OUT tool 2

10. Write the names of... 2 x HARDWOODS 2 x SOFTWOODS 2 x MANMADE BOARDS Task: Taking accurate measurements from your sides and using the mathematical formulae on this page work out the values for A, X, B and Y This will help you mark out holes for screws and dowel pegs. My measurement for A = My measurement for X = Therefore measurement for B = Therefore measurement for Y = You have successfully worked out the measurements for screw & dowel holes with some assistance. You have successfully worked out the measurements for screw & dowel holes with a little assistance. You have successfully worked out location holes for screws and dowel pegs with no assistance.

11. 1.Cut two lengths of 9mm MDF to approximately 325mm. These will be the side pieces for the caddy. 2. Tape the two pieces of MDF together and mark a 300mm length using a tri-square. Sand to the line. 3. Using sharp pencil and a tri-square mark out as below. 4. Cut and file the finger joints as drawn below. The side pieces are now complete. 5. Take 2 pieces of 9mm MDF 190mm x 230mm. These will be the end pieces of the caddy. Mark out the measurements below using a tri-square and a sharp pencil.

12. 6. Cut and file the finger joints as drawn below. 7. Mark 95mm across and 35mm down. Mark this point with a compass. Drill a 4mm pilot hole and then a 12mm hole. 8. Mark 95mm across and 100mm down. Take your time and draw this accurately. Draw a semi circle with a compass. Sand the corners to this compass line. The end pieces are now complete. 9. Put the end and sides pieces together. Test the accuracy of the joints. File where necessary. Glue together when you are happy. Use a tri-square to make sure the caddy is square.

13. 10. Glue a piece of 3mm MDF to the base. Allow to dry and sand the edge on the sander until flush.. 11. Thread a length of 12mm dowel through the holes in the end pieces to create a handle. Glue in place and sand off the excess. 12. Finish with either varnish or wood stain. Apply to coats to get a better finish.

14. What is meant by the word GRAIN? What is meant by the word KNOT? What is meant by DECIDUOUS? What 2 types of saw could be used to cut out a BOX JOINT? Describe briefly why the saws you have named are suitable? RENDER the drawings below to represent Pine and PLYWOOD
