- 4. Centre Number 12332 Year 10 Unit 3 Name Page 3 I will join all the pieces together using PVA glue. The material that is suitable is wood and laminated wood because laminated wood can be turn into shapes very easily. I think I have enough time to complete this project so I don’t need to simplify my design. The most efficient way to make this product if I have to make it more than one then use batch production system , make the product stage by stage to make sure it looks complete and eye catching for people to see. The best finish for each of the part is that I am going to varnish it. It is the best because it would look more professional and realistic. The reason and benefits of making prototype model is that it help us improve our final design and also it shows me the mistake I have made so I can develop my final design and Improve it. I think that I don’t need to make any further improvements to my design because I am well specified with my design and I can complete it in the specific amount of time. For this specific project I got the inspiration from architecture. I would try to relate my final product somehow related to architecture for example the structure. My group suggested that I should make my candle holder more stable and add another candle to make it look more interesting. The best size for each part of my candle holder is 220mm by 65mm.
- 5. Take the veneers and put them in to the hot water so its easier to bend. Check if the veneers are bendable. Then use PVA glue to stick the veneers together and leave it for 24 hours. Print your final design out and stick it to your mould. Then with your teachers help cut the deign into half using Band saw. when you cut the mould in half after that put gaffer tape on both side of the mould so the veneers can easily turn into the design. When the veneers are bendable, put them into the mould and clump them together using G- clamp. The veneers would automatically turn into your design. Use sanding paper to smooth the veneers afterwards. Used for cutting the mould in half. Used for sticking the veneers together. used for both side of the mould so the veneers can turn into the design easily. Used for clumping the mould together. Used for smoothing the veneers. Batch production is a technique used in manufacturing, in which the object is created stage by stage over a series of workstations. Laminated is a process in which the product composed of thin layers of wood, or veneers are glued together to make a stronger product.
- 7. When the plastic sheet has been heated so that it is flexible then it’s placed or draped over the plug. The yoke is then pressed down over the plug and is held in position by attaching g-cramps until the plastic sheet cools and 'freezes' in the newly formed shape. The plastic can then be removed and the edges can be trimmed and edge treated The acrylic or Perspex is heated in the oven until it is soft and flexible. The female part of the former, which is called the yoke, is pushed onto the male plug. It is essential that the two parts of the former are put together correctly. In order to ensure this two dowel rods called locating pins. These are fixed into holes drilled into the corners of the plug. The pins also fit into holes drilled into the yoke. The draw is the amount of plastic that is pulled down to form the sides of the plastic tray or plate. The size of the plastic sheet used needs to allow for the depth of the draw. Plug and yoke is a process in which you have to heat the plastic until it’s flexible so you can easily turn it into any shape you want to for example I used plug and yoke process to create a candle holder for my candle.

Editor's Notes
- Introduction sheet – for information only please delete this sheet prior to submitting your powerpoint for assessment.
- To be successful this page should include the following; Front Cover Your own front cover design and layout. Include an image/graphic drawing that hints at what you are going to make but must not show the finished idea! The title of the project. You can decide this yourself based upon the design task sheet given to you in class. Your name must be clearly displayed (but not as large as the title)
- To be successful this page should include the following; Introduction. You need to refer to your design sheet (given to you in class). This gives you the design brief and specification. You should copy this onto the page and add at least 3 further specification points ( think of ACCESSFM to help you). You may if you prefer write the design brief and specification in your own words. This would be expected of students hoping to achieve A/B grades. Research Find a selection of pictures/images of candle holders relating to different design periods ie traditional verse modern. You may if you wish also include other inspirational images that could form part of your design thinking. Planning Gannt Chart – consider the time available and plan your work to ensure you met your deadline. Finally complete a review of the page. Highlight what have learnt from completing this page – 1 or 2 bullet points. Suggest what you intend to do next with what you have learnt – 1-2 bullet points
- To be successful this page(s) should include the following; Design Development. Take an idea from your ‘first ideas’ page and start to improve it by; Considering the appearance of the overall design. Thinking about each of the major parts, up right laminate, base and candle holder. Try out different ways of developing your ideas – CAD, sketching, paper/card modeling. Show several different ways in which the separate parts could be joined together. Working out the actual size of individual parts. This often requires you measuring the specific objects that are going to be stored. Perhaps even draw parts full size or make actual size paper templates for marking out. . Consider the page layout and style. Remember the pen evaluation that you completed – how was the best work displayed. Use colour and rendering techniques to enhance the presentation. Modeling Models can be either/both 3D a card model or CAD drawing (sketchup) where you can see different angles. Include photographs or JPEG images of any modeling. Annotate the work showing in detail possible solutions or issues needing to be resolved. You can include any templates or jigs in this section of the design folder if needed.

- To be successful this page should include the following; Product Evaluation All original specification points should be considered when evaluating your final product. If other aspects have come up during the design and making stages then these should be covered as well (updated specification ref page 3). Try to be objective about your work (Point, Evidence, Explanation P.E.E) Consider both the strengths and weakness of your work. What Went Well – Even Better If. Examiners understand that work sometimes doesn’t go to plan. If you are honest, and discuss how your work could be improved you can often score more marks than the student who just makes out everything was fantastic.
- To be successful this page should include the following; Final Improvements. A range of sketches showing clearly how the project could be improved. What would you do if you were to make it again? Clear annotation to help explain improvements is essential. Use rendering techniques to improve communication and impact of the drawings. Bibliography You should list all web sites visited where you have sourced information from. Any books used to gain information from should be listed. Any assistance other than from your Class Teacher should also be declared. For example if your parent, classmate or Workshop technician has helped you in someway.
