MATERIAL AND WORKSHOP PRACTICES


 What Is Wood?


Wood is a versatile and natural material derived from the stems and branches of trees. It has been used by humans for various purposes for thousands of years.
There are many different types of wood, each with its own unique properties. Hardwood, like oak and maple, is known for its durability and strength, while softwood, such as pine and cedar, is often used for construction and woodworking.



USES OF WOOD

Wood is used to produce a wide array of products, including plywood, particleboard, wood pulp for paper production, and engineered wood products like MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard)


Timber and Lumber

• Timber is any type of wood that is suitable for use as wood pulp for papermaking or as building material at any point after it is removed from the tree.
• In the wood production stage, lumber is the wood that has been processed into beams and planks.
        

 Wood Manufacturing Transformation Process:

Head Rig: The tree is sawed into pieces by the main saw.
Edging: Smoothing out sawn items' uneven edges and flaws.
Trimming: Using market dimensions as a guide, the trimmer squares off the ends of lumber to create uniform pieces.

Rough Lumber Sorting: The pieces are sorted into two categories: dry and unseasoned (sometimes called "green"), depending on the dimensions and final product manufacturing.

Stickering: To facilitate air circulation within the stack, spacers, also referred to as stickers, are layered atop lumber that is intended for dry manufacture. The green product bypasses this phase.

Kiln-drying: In order to promote the natural evaporation of moisture content, lumber is dried.

Planing is the process of uniformly thinning and smoothing the surface of each piece of lumber.

Grading is the process of determining each lumber piece's qualities or "grade" by evaluating its features.

  MATERIAL AND WORKSHOP PRACTICES   POP (PLASTER OF PARIS A soft mixture of sand and cement and sometimes lime with water, for spreading on walls, celling, or other structures, to form a smooth hard surface when dried. what is the plaster of paris used for? It  is commonly  used to precast and hold parts of ornamental plaster work placed on celling. It is also used in medical treatment. SUPPLIS NEEDS Water Powder Container for mixing it Mold PROPERTIES OF PLASTER OF PARIS  Plaster of paris exhibits the following  properties   Plaster of paris is a white-colored powder, that forms crystals of gypsum when     mixed with water.   It expends slowly and slightly  upon setting. So it is highly fire-resistant.   It is easy to spread on any surface.   It does not cause cracking of surface.   It gives a decorative interior finish.  WORKING EXPERIENCE WITH POP  At first when i start working on pop block in the beginning i found it very difficult to work on it but after breaking 2  blocks of pop

  MATERIAL AND WORKSHOP PRACTICES What is Aluminum ?  Aluminum is a silvery-white metal, the 13 element in the periodic table. One surprising fact about aluminum is that it's the most wide spread metal on Earth, making up more than 8% of the Earth's core mass. It's also the third most common chemical element on our planet after oxygen and silicon. Aluminum Sheet Making Process After employing carbon-based negative and positive cathodes in an electrolysis process, the alumina is transformed into a liquid condition and CO2 is produced. After that, this liquid aluminum is poured into various shapes to form sheet ingots or slabs, which are subsequently utilized to make aluminum sheets and plates. WHAT ARE 5 USES OF ALUMINUM Window frames.  Consumer electronics.  Household and industrial appliances.  Aircraft components.  Spacecraft components. Working with Aluminum  I had great experience working with aluminum sheet made a rose with help of it. First i was not using gloves so i
