Design Cycle

Design Cycle

1. 1. Investigate

   • Research different types of woods; softwoods, hardwoods, and man-made woods and made an infographic on the three and which type we think is the most convenient.

2. 2. Design

   • We sketched and colored two designs for our wooden box with a decorative edge, leaving a 10 mm edge uncut for strength of the box.

3. 3. Plan

   • We taped the two pieces of wood together and drew the design of our decorative edge onto it.

4. 4. Create

   • We cut out the decorative edge using the coping saw and filed the edges and used the sandpaper. Glued the pieces together to form the box the hammered in four panel pins at the bottom. Primer and paint was the final step.
