For my third and final experiment I worked with joining the wood. I did three different kind of joints. One being the T joint. This joint is very strong because the piece on top is supported by the long piece underneath. The second joint I did was small version of a miter joint. This joint was the strongest it involves slanted pieces put together. I felt like this joint is very strong and works well. My third and final joint which was the weakest was the pocket hole joint. I found it hard to make but the version that I made was not to strong. It involves slanted pieces as well but it looks like a hinge when complete. If done successfully it will probably be very strong but my version was not.
This is the blog for the Philadelphia University Industrial Design Fabrication class. The class focuses on mock-up and prototyping techniques used in Industrial design. Comments are welcome, we would love to hear what you think.
