Materials Technology (Wood)

Project Design Brief 2013

Examination No. 345930

Analysis of the Brief When I received my brief I was quickly drawn towards two of the projects, however after deep thought and discussion with my teacher I finally decided to go with the table project. I clearly feel that my talents are better represented in this brief. I would like to think that I have gained a lot of hand skills in my time in the woodwork class and I can put this to work most effectively in order to do well. I also considered how much use I would get from the table once I was finished; all these scenarios have made me focus to answering the brief below.

Carefully placed lighting can greatly enhance the atmosphere of a living area.

Design and make a Compact table on which to place a small lamp. The table should be elegant in appearance and should display the functional simplicity of hand crafted joints. You should clearly explain how you minimised your carbon footprint in the design, selection of materials and in the processes used to manufacture the artefact.
