4. MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY OAK WOOD: Manufacturing: The wood will be cut and finished as per measurement by computerized machining. The plugs will be cut to make holes for the screws used to join the pieces and to plug those holes, to give a brushed look. Assembly: In Figure 4, part (1) will be attached by gluing them. The Part (2) will be attached using glue and adding screws to hold them together extra support and resistance.
Figure 1: This figures explains the joinery cut of the base piece that is used to assemble the shape.
Figure 2: This figures explains the how the top piece fits in the bottom piece that is used to assemble the shape.
Figure 3: This figure shows the screw placement and the plugs that is used to add extra strength to the structure.
GLASS: Manufacturing: The glass will be made into a flat rectangle as per measurement and finished to smooth the edges Assembly: In figure 4 , glass (3) will be attached to the wood using silicon glue.
