Design Brief:
The task is to create a structure with only 6 pieces of wood, each measuring 62×4.5×1.5 centimeters. We are to create any structure that can be used for entertainment or for everyday life. We can also shape borrow from other structures for ideas.
Design Requirement:
Make a Structure that has its own usage for entertainment/day to day life. To create something using only wood and other materials in consideration.
Limited use of only six (6) pieces of wood measuring 62×4.5×1.5 centimeters.
The artifact should have a purpose and not only intended for design
Must use at least three (3) joints to join different parts.
The artifact can be based on other structures given that it doesn’t copy the entire design.

Grade
Considerations
Grade
Use of only 6 pieces of wood measuring 62×4.5×1.5 cm.
1
Portability
5
Use of at least 3 joints.
2
If the artifact is plain/varnished/colored
4
Artifact should have a purpose of its own.
4
How small the artifact can be.
3
Size of the artifact.
5
How the artifact is used.
1
The design must be loosely based on the structure of other buildings.
3
Other materials used to maximize the effectiveness of the artifact.

Top Five Priorities
Constraints Considerations
Use only 6 pieces of wood measuring 1. How the Artifact is used
62×4.5×1.5 cm. 2. Other Materials used
Use at least 3 joints 3. How small the Artifact is
The design must be loosely based on 4. If the Artifact is colored or varnished
other buildings 5. Portability
Artifact should have a purpose on its
own
Size of Artifact
Evaluation Criteria:
Did the Artifact only use the six planks of wood given?
Was the Artifact useful at anything?
Is the Artifact durable and has a long lifespan?
Did the Artifact use at least three (3) joints?
Did anyone get hurt?

Production Logbook
Day 1
Today Sir Oro held a lesson about Shape Borrowing and gave us some ideas and insights on what we should make with our 6 wooden planks.
Day 2
Today we just started on planning for our product. David and Kurt Brainstormed designs while Juan made the design brief and design requirements. We settled on a knife and shot glass holder. We are planning on finishing it early. We also started on our constraints and considerations.
Today was pretty easy. We also finished a little bit earlier than the other groups.
Day 3
Today we finished our design requirements up to the evaluation criteria and made improvements on the design. We decided to attach a lid with a hinge so that it would look better and it would be child proof
Day 4
Today sir Oro gave a comment on our design, he said that we should just make a utensil dryer instead of a knife and shot glass one so we just went with the flow. Kurt has also made our website and hopefully made a good one.
Day 5
Right now we just some finished of the other task while drawing the design of the utensil holder. We have already made up our mind on the design and it is what we are going to do
Day 6
