This page shows the materials and processes that am going to use to make my final product. I am going to use a range of materials therefore different fixing/joining methods.I am mainly going to use MDF, and acrylic. The lid will be made of balsa wood. However I will also use materials
that would need to be purchased, which include – hinges, locks and a handle (made of recycled aluminium) screws and bolts. Other than these, the whole product will be cut out and joined using various manufacturing techniques.

Process Finish joining
1 1 MDF 400 300 9 Cut with tenon saw and use belt sander to curve edges.
Paint (Color of choice)
Joint to parts 2+3 via screws
2 2 MDF 400 80 9Cut using tenon saw and cut finger joints to both ends. Paint
Joint together by finger joints and PVA glue to secure in place
3 2 MDF 300 80 5
4 1 Acrylic 380 75 6 Cut out using hacksaw, file edges –cross filing and through filing. Then use wet and dry paper + buffer to smooth edges and remove scratches. Self finish
(buffer to finish edges)
Joint to base – fixed into the base where the indent is made using a router
5 1 Acrylic 380 75 6 Cut out using coping saw or hack saw, file edges + wet and dry paper and use buffer. (cut inwards 50mm and upwards 30mm see 5 above)
Joint to base – fixed in place made using a router + tensol cement to secure.
6 2 Acrylic 280 80 - Use CorelDraw and CNC laser cutter -self finish Fixed to top lid using screws (a- bottom piece fixed tightly, b- top piece, joint by both (temporary joining)
7 1 Acrylic 100 300 2 CNC Laser cutter - Fixed to lid using small screws + pillar drill or epoxy resin
8 2 Hardwood dowel
200 -Diameter – 6mm Cut using tenon saw and then sand edges
using belt sander.
Self finish Fixed to part [9] – fitted in
9 2 Pine (softwood)
30 30 20Use tenon or coping saw to cut and then use belt sander to sand ALL faces of piece.
No finishing required
(optional finish)
Fixed to parts [2] via dowel joints
10 2 Hardwood dowel
20 Diameter – 6mmCut using tenon saw and then sand edges using belt sander.
- Joint to both part [2] and [9]

FINAL PROPOSAL

bolt
This piece needs to be cut then folded (using a strip heater) or beaten to shape at 25mm from the bottom, horizontally.
6 – TWO PIECES of acrylic cut out and must be folded from the edges (strip heater) inwards.

PARTS 4 & 5
The acrylic needs to be fitted onto the base – using a router (divide the base into 3 parts)
6 6
Part 10 Since the dowel mechanism needs to move up and down – ANOTHER dowel piece would be drilled to part 2 and 9.

This orthographic view is of the top of the box. Part 6 [a] (which is the piece that goes at the bottom) will have 3 holes drilled into it using a pillar drill.Each hole will be at 90 mm intervals starting from 40mm off from the bottom of the piece (labeled ‘bottom end’)
