Materials Case Study
When
making a penholder you will be using different types of materials to produce
it, for example wood. The type if wood
that you use is very important as if your wood is too weak your pen holder will
break. The type of wood that we use is MDF ( medium density fibreboard ). MDF
is a denser wood than plywood and is made up of separated fibres. This makes it
more stronger than normal particle wood.
You
will need PVA (Polyvinyl acetates) for gluing your project together. PVA is a water based
substance which is only toxic when ingested, and is not harmful if
touched.
A
scroll saw is a small machine which can be either electric or pedal operated.
The scroll saw has a blade which operates quickly in a up and down motion. The
blade of a scroll saw can be replaced if damaged, it also allows you to be able
to cut the interior of your wood.
