Timber 2012/2013 Hsc major project folio Research Ergonomics How efficient will it be in a working environment? I assume taken into precondition that I am a bit taller than other people, and later measuring all console tables in my phratry they ranged from 900 mm to 950 mm and for me personally I considered them to be to small. Which is the reason I have chosen to entertain it to 1000mm. Design How did I come up with the design and why? Originally I started forecasting on the Internet and browsing through images but there were just so many options and I would non have known how to begin making them.During our theory lesson at school the teacher brought some magazines into the classroom, after reading through and getting some ideas I finally comprise a cabinet that captured my charge both because of the amazing look and the complexness of it, my design I very similar to the one that was in the magazine. I chose to make a cabinet as I noticed that one particular cabinet at m y house is very bland and is starting to deteriorate due to its old age. Timber selection What timber did I use and why?For the legs of my major project I have used Sydney grimy Gum as it is a hardwood timber that is more than capable of holding my job upright and excessively as I have used it before and have seen how it finishes. Glues What Glue/s have I used and why? Poly Vinyl Acetate (PVA) is the most common glue that I will be utilize as it is fast drying, dries clear, creates a strong bond between both timber surfaces and is easy to work with.

It will consist of two drawers up th e top of the job and two doors with glass panels in them below. My goal is to make it perfectly with minimal complications or problems.I pattern to achieve this by following my original designs and if need be small alterations might be made to ensure the job is up to a suitable standard. For the legs and the top of my job I intention on use Sydney grimy maunder as in previous years I have used it and personally I think it has a nice colour and finishes well. For the framing of the doors I plan on using some Jarrah as I think it will mix well with the Sydney blue gum and provide an amazing contrast of colors. For the draw fronts I plan on using a lighter material such as maple because it adds another colour that I think will look good.I also plan on putting frosted glass panels to add some extra complexity to it. I decided to make this particular design, as I think it is a practical adult male of work that if made properly would serve me well throughout its life. Its main use w ill be for storing objects in the draws and bottles in the bottom compartment where the doors are. Throughout the process of making my project, I will be using various types of timber and tools to make up most of my job. I will also be using glue, nails and various joints to join all aspects of my job together.Classification of Timbers Sydney Blue Gum Hardwood or softwood Sydney blue gum is a hard wood Botanical Name eucalyptus tree Saligna Origin Blue Gum is found along the NSW coastline from Batemans Bay to Southern Queensland Appearance The colour varies from soft pinks to dark pinks and dark reds Texture The texture of this timber is moderately coarse and even element The grain is straight or slightly interlocked in some cases Common uses Joinery, Furniture, Domestic, Floor Boards, and Commercial ConstructionJarrah Hardwood or Softwood Jarrah is a Hardwood Botanical Name Eucalyptus Marginata Origin Jarrah grows in the Southwest corner of Western Australia Appearance Heartwood varies from rich reds to deep browns the Sapwood is a pale yellow colour Texture The texture is relatively even but coarse Grain The grain is generally straight but sometimes slightly interlocked producing a fiddle back write in code Common Uses Wharf and bridge construction, railway sleepers, framing, flooring, and joinery
