Quality Measures
Quality Measures are actions and precautions taken to ensure the final product is of the highest quality possible, below
are some of the precautions we made to ensure the product is of high quality
Stage/Component Quality Measure Taken
Timber Cutting https://www.azweb.org/professi All timber was measured and marked prior to being cut.
Biscuit Joints onal-timber-cutting And material was cut on trusted and quality machinery
The biscuit machine was first tested on scrap wood to find
the suitable biscuit size and depth of the cut
https://thewoodwhisperer.com/
Gluing A strong reliable brand of Gorilla Glue was speared across
the entire face of the timber on both sides to create a large
https://www.diynetwork.com/ surface area of glue increasing the bond
Clamping Clamps were evenly applied on both sides after the gluing
stage to prevent the timber from bowing. Scrap wood was
https://hammersmith.worldsecuresystems/ also put in-between timber and clamp to deduce damage
Drilling Holes with Drill Press The machinery was first tested with scrap wood, and tape
was placed on the under side to prevent tear out once the
drill hand penetrated the timber
https://themostspruce.com/drill-press
Sanding Sanding will start will a more aggressive grit and continue
to work down to a finer grit, this is done to remove bowing
https://www.manmadediy.com/ in wood and ensure it’s smooth and of high quality
Finishing The finish will be applied after the material has been
sanded and will be applied in a number of thin layers, as

Cutting and Pricing
The cutting list gives the end-user and designer a look at all of the material that’s required to construct the product as
well as the lengths that they need to be cut down to, and will serve as a guide when in the building stage and material
needs to be cut to length it will be clear as to what needs to cut down and the size of the cut
#60 18204962A
Risk Matrix
The risk matrix is used to asses the risk of each tool and procedure, first the likelihood of something going wrong with the
tool or machinery is rated on a scale of one to five, then the potential consequence is rated on a scale of one to five.
These are then compared to understand the risk associated with using each tool
The risk matrix is going to help rate and evaluate the likely hood of the risk occurring and the potential hazard if the risk is
to occur. It’s a quick and easy way to grasp the risk of the situation weather it be a tool or procedure
#61 18204962A
DATTA Victoria
Design and Technology Teachers Association (DATTA) with the help of the risk matrix has rated the risk of using a variety of
tools subdivided into category's, to help us understand the dangers and risk of using the tool
The tools matrix complied by DATTA Victoria allows us to look at a wide range of tools and understand the risk associated
with them, and if they can use them
#62 18204962A
Tools Risks
All the tools and procedures that will be used in the construction of the final project have been listed below and we have
rated the likelihood of something going wrong and the consequences if it does in accordance with DATTA Victoria
This has given us an understand of the risk associated with each tool and process and the injury or harm they can cause,
as well as appropriate safety precautions to take to reduces these hazards. The SOP’s for each tool can be seen in the

Material Testing
In order to produce a product that lives up to the end-users expectations, the product needs to be made from high quality
materials to ensure it can hold the required weight and withstand various weather conditions. Material Tests will be
preformed to ensure the material chosen can live up to these expectations
Aim
The aim of these material test undertaken is to determine which of the chosen timbers is the most capable of holding
large amounts of weight with out bending or snapping, demonstrating its strength
Materials
The materials chosen where MDF, Merbau, Victorian Ash and Pine. These woods where chosen as they were all potential
timbers that could be used in the product as they match the end-users given environment. Further materials were need to
conduct the test, these materials included set squares, clamps, drill, weights, ruler, masking tape.
Method
A piece of each type of timber 800mm long and all 2mm tall and 50mm wide were clamped off the surface, and weights
were slowly applied to each type of timber with recordings at each new weight. The amount the timber was bending was
recorded
Results
The results show that Merbau was the strongest wood followed by Vic Ash and Pine with MDF being the weakest of the
woods tested. MDF was likely the weakest as it’s a engineered wood made up from softwood and hardwood fibres. Pine is
one of the weaker woods as it’s a soft wood and Merbau and Vic ash are both hardwoods which us likely why is so strong
Risk Management
PPE such as protective glasses were worn when the testing was done to ensure the safety of the observers, participants
also stood back from the testing to avoid falling weights or wood
