Students are creating a multipurpose stand to hold items of their choice such as a phone, jewellery, stationary etc. Students will follow the design process. They will research using product analysis and secondary research to help inspire their design ideas. Students will then develop the design in their practical lessons using tools and machinery to develop their practical skills in marking out, sawing, and shaping Plywood and Pine. They will learn different joining techniques such as using dowel joints, cross halving joints and comb joints. Stduents will be taught how to sand down and finish the multipurpose stand to a high quality.
Research tasks will be assessed between stages 3-6.
Design ideas will be assessed from stages between 3-6.
A natural timber, a soft wood, grown from coniferous trees which are fast growing. Relatively cost effective as a material and is light in colour with a grain.
A finger joint, also known as a comb joint, is a woodworking joint made by cutting a set of complementary, interlocking profiles in two pieces of wood, which are then glued. The cross-section of the joint resembles the interlocking of fingers between two

A saw with a very narrow blade stretched across a D-shaped frame, used for cutting curves in wood.
A bench hook is a workbench accessory used in woodworking, and its purpose is to provide a stop against which the piece of wood being worked can be firmly held, without having to use the vice, this saves time.
Sandpaper is produced in a range of grit sizes and is used to remove material from surfaces, either to make them smoother, to remove a layer of material (such as old paint), or sometimes to make the surface rough.
Students are encouraged to talk about their making methods and have confidence in their ability to use new tools understanding the health and safety implications. Students are taught to take pride in their work to create a product of high standard and appreciate the need for well made wood joints. Students can develop an understanding of how time and effort can play a part in making a product that is well presented, constructed and finished.
They are encouraged to support each other in making the wood joints with students helping other students in need, they can be used for demos so they also become the teacher. Students can work in groups to create their projects in order to share strengths and weaknesses in making and finishing.
Students will continue to work on their multipurpose stands. They are working towards finishing methods such as sanding, applying wood stain, painting and adding decoration techniques. Students will also complete a production plan of their making process to help understand the processes they undertook and consolidate skills from the practical lessons.
Students will also then test and evaluate their stands, collecting customer feedback, and photographing their stand in use to help evaluate against the design brief.
Making skills will be assessed from stages 3-6.
Evaluation and testing will be assessed from stages 3-6.
