__**INVESTIGATION** __
**Unit Question** **How can a residence for any object enhance the ascetics of an environment?**

**Design brief** **How can a residence for any object enhance the ascetics of an environment?** This Question is relevant to me because my room isn't organized well because of the fact that i just moved here and i haven't gone shopping for my room much. I need a residence/ organizer to put most of the things in my room for example my nail polish which is scattered around my dressing mirror, my important papers which is all over my study table, my jewelry, etc. Therefor i need to make something that will help the object inside look good as well as the residence/ organizer should look good along with beautifying the environment.

Introduction
Ascetics is a branch of philosophy dealing with nature of beauty art and taste. it is scientifically defined as the study of the judgement of sentiment and taste. critical reflection of art, nature and beauty. though the thing is every one has a different view of beauty.

The challenge in this project is that I will have to make a residence for example a paper holder mainly made out of wood to make the papers inside look better and organized and complement its surrounding. These days in society it is very important for a residence of an object to beautify the object in it. when we buy, make things we usually think about where it would be placed?, how would it look with the things around and in it?, how well would the residence make the object look?, etc. The object I will be beautifying will most probably be somewhere in my room. The problem I am facing in this project is that I have very little experience in making a residence. The good thing is that I do know how to work with tools. So far I have seen people creating furniture and I have tried to make only one of my own. So before I try and create another one I will have to a lot of research on how to make furniture’s that will help beautify the object in it along with its environment. First I will have to decide on what I want to make i will have to do this by looking at my environment and choose one environment and what needs to be added there. Then i will have to do some research and find out specific type of residence / organizer that i will be making so that i get some sort of idea of what to do(residence/ organizer that appeals to me). After that i will have to choose at least top 5-10 different types of residence/ organizer ( the type i will be building for e.g nail polish holder, paper holder, jewelry box). Then I will have to research how to join wood so that it will help me in my design stage. I then will have to design different type of residence/ organizer i choose to make, choose one of my designs and built one so that i will be able to make my environment and the object in it look better.

**Guiding questions:**
 * 1) ** What are the different kinds of joints of wood? **
 * 2) ** What are the elements that would effect the design by making it look ascetically pleasing for the object of the residence? **
 * 3) ** Which colours would people most like? **
 * 4) ** Different designs for nail polish holder. **
 * 5) ** What are the different types of materials needed to make a nail polish wooden holder? **
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">** What are the different types of wood that is there in the DT workshop and information on each type of those wood? **
 * 7) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">**What are the different types of wood that can be used to make a nail polish holder?**
 * 8) **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">What is my environment in which my nail polish holder will be in? **
 * 9) **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">How wide are most of my nail polish? **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**guiding questions with answers:**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">** What are the different kinds of joints of wood? **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**butt joint-** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Butt joint is the weakest joint and usually not used to make a furniture. This is because all we do is attach these two pieces of wood with the help of glue and nail.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**End to edge butt joint-** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">it is the same as a butt joint but it’s joint from the other side.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Rebate Joint** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">They are suitable for joining top and bottom ends of furniture. Stopped rebate joints hide the joint. Glue and skew nail, or screw the joint together.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Housed joints** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">They are mostly used for shelves. The stopped house joint hides the actual joining. Use skew nails or screws to fasten the boards together.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Loose tongued joints** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">They are used to join planks edge to edge to form a larger board like a table top in which case they are always glued only.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Tenon and mortise joints** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">They are very strong joints mostly used in furniture making and for heavy doors and gates. They are not easy joints to make. The secret in making a good tenon joint lies in careful and accurate marking. The tenon’s width should not be less than a third of the thickness of the wood especially if wood of the same thickness is joined.

Even this joint is week but it can be strengthened by a spine <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">[|http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/workshop/miter.htm] || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">miter joint with spine

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**lap joint** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">[] || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are four different types of lap joints. End lap joint is two different pieces of wood with the same height and breath that are cut half in breath and they are put on top of each other( the top left joint). Cross lap joint

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Finger joint** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">it is a set of complementary rectangular cuts in two pieces of wood which are glued together. It is stronger than lap or but joint and often contributes to the aesthetics of the object/ piece.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Dovetail joint** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">It is most commonly used in wood work it it very strong, once you glue it the it doesn't need any nails. They are a series of pins cut to extend from the end of one board interlock with a series of tails cut into the end of another board. the pins and tails are trapezoidal in shape.

So it would be best if i make the sizes of my nail polish holder 4cm for each box. This is because there will be some space for the biggest nail polish to fit in easily and the smallers ones will obviously fit in easily.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Final Design <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">I choose design 1 as my final design. This is because THe first design fits the specification perfectly. it is a nail polish holder,it has compartments, it is square in shape, it will make the nail polish look organized and it will be made out of wood

I made some modifications to the final design. I made the big round circle into a square. I did this because i thought it looked more ascetically pleasing and it blends in.

I chose the colours of the nail polish holder to be sky blue and black.All the edges and the bace of the nail polish holder is sky blue and the boxes where the nail polish will be held is black. There will be designs on the sides which will look like buildings.

 * 6) Do the the same as step 5 on the opposite edge.
 * 7) Take pieces C-E and do the same as step 5-6.
 * 8) Take 8 dowels and piece A and D, using the dowels join piece A and D (if any adjustments needed make it).
 * 9) Looking at this picture [[image:Screen_shot_2012-03-21_at_2.34.19_PM.png width="187" height="116" caption="Screen_shot_2012-03-21_at_2.34.19_PM.png"]] join all the pieces together (if any adjustments needed make it).
 * 10) Now take out all the joints, using PVA glue stick all of the joints, just as you did before.
 * 11) Get 32.5X32.5X1cm wood and nail it to the skeleton (after the glue has dried).


 * Making the small boxes that go inside the skeleton **

1. get one of the 28.5X.9X6cm wood, ruler/straight edge and pencil. 2. from one of the edges measure 4 cm and mark it of, then measure .9cm and mark it of 3. Repeat step 2 five times. 4. Now on each of the .9cm marks from the breath measure 3 cm and mark it of, do this for all the .9cm points. 5. Repeat step 2-4 for all the 28.5X.9X6cm wood, 18.7X.9X6 wood and 23.6x.9x6cm wood 6. Get wood **F** using a scroll saw cut one of the .9 mark till the 3cm line. 7. Get wood **M** and repeat step 6. 8. check if the two pieces fit well together if adjustments needed make it. 9. Repeat step 6 with the same wood, step 7 with wood **N** and step 8. 10. Repeat step 9 with wood **O** instead of wood **N**. 11. Repeat step 9 but this time instead of wood **M** use wood **G**. 12. Repeat step 9 but this time instead of wood **G** use wood **K**. 13. Repeat step 6 on Wood **H.** 14. Repeat step 7 on wood **M** and repeat step 8. 15. Repeat step 13 with the same wood and step 14 with wood **N** instead of wood **M** 16. Repeat step 15 with wood **O** instead of wood **N**. 17. Repeat step 15 but this time instead of wood **M** use wood **G**. 18. Repeat step 15 but this time instead of wood **G** use wood **K**. 19. Repeat step 6 on Wood **I.** 20. Repeat step 7 on wood **M** and Repeat step 8. 21. Repeat step 19 with the same wood and step 20 with wood **N** instead of wood **M** 22. Repeat step 21 with wood **O** instead of wood **N.** 23. Repeat step 21 but this time instead of wood **M** use wood **G**. 24. Repeat step 21 but this time instead of wood **G** use wood **K**. 25. Repeat step 6 on Wood **J.** 26. Repeat step 7 on wood **M** and Repeat step 8. 27. Repeat step 25 with the same wood and step 26 with wood **N** instead of wood **M** 28. Repeat step 27 with wood **O** instead of wood **N**. 29. Repeat step 27 but this time instead of wood **M** use wood **G**. 30. Repeat step 27 but this time instead of wood **G** use wood **K**. 31. Repeat step 6 on Wood **L.** 32. Repeat step 7 on wood **M** and repeat step 8. 33. Repeat step 31 with the same wood and step 32 with wood **N** instead of wood **M** 34. Repeat step 33 with wood **O** instead of wood **N**. 35. Repeat step 33 but this time instead of wood **M** use wood **G**. 36. Put all the pieces together just like shown in the picture 37.if any improvements need to be made make it
 * Mark pieces of 28.5X.9X6 wood from the alphabet F-J, 18.7X.9X6cm wood K-L and 23.6X.9X6cm wood from M-O **
 * File and sand wood after each cut **

Painting the pieces
1.Get the skeleton of the nail polish holder and paint it sky blue on the outside just like shown below but dont paint the inside blue paint it black. 2. Get all the small pieces of wood that is supposed to go inside the nail polish holder and paint them Black. 3. Gloss the entire piece (the entire nail polish holder).

Process Journal
17/04/12 I worked with MR.Hasan and cut the skeleton of the nail polish holder, we first cut the stocks of the pine wood and then we cut the stocks into smaller pieces.Instead of following my plan i skipped the second step pf preparing the stocks and went straight to preparing the butt/ dowel joint. Now i am just experimenting with the dowel jig to make the dowel holes i need.

19/04/12 I continued experimenting with the dowel jig with Mr.Hasan. We tried different ways to drill the hole for the dowel joint for piece D and C.

24/04/12 I continued experimenting and then i completed steps 1-9 of Preparing Butt/Dowel Joints.

26/04/12 I completed step 10 of Preparing Butt/Dowel Joints.

30/04/12 I cut out the extra bit of the dowel and remeasured the pieces for the MDF for the inner part of the box.

2/05/12 I glued the base to the outside bit of the nail polish holder and i cut out the MDF pieces for the inner part of the box. 6/05/12 I cut the stocks of MDF into the pieces i wanted.

8/05/12 I redrew my design on SkechUp so that i would know my measurements better.

10/05/12 I cut some of my pieces again with the correct measurements.

14/05/12 I completed steps 1-5 from making the small boxes that go inside the skeleton.

16/05/12 I completed steps 6-32 from making the small boxes that go inside the skeleton but i didn't cut piece L because i will be gluing it.

20/05/12 I Glued Piece L to Piece M,N,O and G and I painted the inner bit of the skeleton Black (i completed step 37 of Making the small boxes that go inside the skeleton and half of step 1 from painting the pieces).

22/05/12 I modified some of the pieces so that they would fit together well step 37 of Making the small boxes that go inside the skeleton and I started step 2 of painting the pieces.

24/05/12 I completed step 2 of painting the pieces.

28/05/12 I started painting the outside of the skeleton sky blue (the other half of step 1 from painting the pieces).

30/05/12 I completed the other half of painting the pieces (sky blue paint).

=Evaluation Stage=

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">My opinion of the overall design is that it is a good design which is modern and fits in well with my chosen environment. The Plan I had was very helpful to make the table. This is because I followed the plan more than half of the time. It was only some times that I didn’t follow my plan. That was mainly because I didn’t have any experience with the dowel jig and I didn’t paint the buildings as I had planned and that was because I ran out of time. Other than that I follow my plan till the end. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">I had some difficulties with the creation and the measurements. This is because the breath and height of the wood were a little bit different to my measurements. Which made it a little bit challenging for me in the beginning but I made a new design with the correct measurements and continued with my creation. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">I am really happy and pleased with the materials I chose and the way I used the tools. I learnt how to use new tools for example a dowel jig. I was very glad that I used Pine wood and MDF as I planned because I prefer pine wood other natural wood because I an used to working with Pine wood and I like working with MDF The colour of my table came out exactly how I wanted it to be. If I had more time I would have sanded the first layer of black paint only then I would have spray painted it. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">I used my time in and out of class wisely but the table took longer than I expected to take. This is mainly because the mortise and tenon took a longer time to make and it took more time trying to make the mortise and tenon perfect for each of the joints.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The table is the right shape and size as I had planned for it to be but after I have made the table I think it would look better if the mid-plank was longer. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">I didn’t do my testing with other people but this is from my point of view <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes I do. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes there is. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes it is. This is because is is approximately the size I wanted it to be. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">$5 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes it does. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The improvements I would make would be I would paint the outside of the nail polish holder with the buildings to make it look ethically pleasing. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Some advice I would give the students doing this project next year are as follows:
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. Does the nail polish holder meet the specifications?
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. Do you think there is enough space to keep the things inside?
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">3. Do you think it has a good size? why, why not?
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">4. How much would you pay for it if you had to buy it (in dollars)?
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">5. Do you think it has good finishing touches to it?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Do your investigation thoroughly.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When you design your furniture try not to make it too complicated.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Plan thoroughly, clearly, precisely and try to get the steps flow together so that you don’t get confused when you are creating.
