pour it to the surface of the plywood and scrap it by using the scrapper for flatten the adhesive

to full surface of the wood.!

5. Stick it together.!

6. So now, we have two plywood we need to clamp it by using the clamp and attach it together

by superposing each of the play-wood together. !

7. We clamp it by using clamp (Figure 1.2) to make the adhesive more

stick the wood side by side.!

! - The clamp takes about 1 week to make

the adhesive completely dry.!

Trivia !

History of Plywood!

In 1797 Samuel Bentham applied for patents covering several

machines to produce veneers. In his patent applications, he

described the concept of laminating several layers of veneer

with glue to form a thicker piece – the first description of what

we now call plywood (figure 1.4) Samuel Bentham was a

British naval engineer with many shipbuilding inventions to his

credit. Veneers at the time of Bentham were flat sawn, rift


Figure 1.4 (Plywood)
sawn or quarter sawn!

! About fifty years later Immanuel Nobel, father of Alfred Nobel, realized that several thinner

layers of wood bonded together would be stronger than one single thick layer of wood !

MANUFACTURING OF BOOK CABINET- Group 7 Page 5


There is little record of the early implementation of the rotary lathe and the subsequent

commercialisation of plywood as we know it today, but in its 1870 edition, the French dictionary

Robert describes the process of rotary lathe veneer manufacturing in its entry Déroulage. One can

thus presume that rotary lathe plywood manufacture was an established process in France in the

1860s. Plywood was introduced into the United States in 1865 and industrial production started

shortly after. In 1928, the first standard-sized 4  ft by 8  ft (1.2 m by 2.4 m) plywood sheets were

introduced in the United States for use as a general building material. As for artists’ use of plywood

as support for easel paintings, replacing traditional canvas or cardboard!

!
What Pneumatic tools?!

A pneumatic tool (figure 1.5), air tool, air-powered tool or pneumatic-powered tool is a type of

power tool, driven by compressed air (Figure 1.6) , supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools

can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO

stored in small cylinders allowing for portability.

Pneumatic tools are safer to run and maintain than

their electric power tool equivalents, and have a higher

power-to-weight ratio, allowing a smaller, lighter tool to

accomplish the same task. General grade pneumatic


Figure 1.5 (Pneumatic tool)
tools with short life span

are commonly cheaper and are also called disposable tools in

tooling industries while industrial grade pneumatic tools with long life

span are more expensive. In general, pneumatic tools are cheaper

than the equivalent electric-powered tools.

Steps!

1. Remove the clamp of the wood that we stick last

week.!

2. Make sure all the woods are properly stick to each

other.!

3. Read the plant given and make some ratio

calculations.!

! -We were given a task to make a bookcase.!


Figure 2.3 (Line marking)
4. Measure the wood by using the tape measure and

use pencil line for marking before cut the plywood ( figure 2.3 )!

5. After make the marking, cut the Plywood by using the Table saw and Radial Arm Saw.

(figure 2.4) and (figure 2.6)!

!
Alert!!
!
-Please wear your personal protective equipment

(PPE) while conduct the machine.!

-Follow you lecture instruction!

-Please serious when using the machine!

6. After cutting make sure the vertices and the marking of the plywood is totally satisfying.!

7. By Reading the plant (rear Attachment) given we make the plywood into 6 parts which is:!

! - Upper Shelve!

! - Middle Shelve!

! - Bottom Shelve!

! - Back cover!

! - Left Railing!

! - Right Railing !

MANUFACTURING OF BOOK CABINET- Group 7 Page 8


8. When done cut the plywood into 6 part. We need to trim it to make sure the edge and the

marking length of the plywood is sharp. We Mark it

again for conformation (figure 2.5)!

9. After marking was done we trim it by using the

radial arm saw (figure 2.6)!

Figure 2.5 (Trimming Conformation marking)

Figure 2.6 ( Cutting and trimming)

!
10. After done trimming we need to label the plywood part by part.!

11. After label part by part, we make grooving to a selected pieces of plywood..!

! ! -the purpose of grooving is for put the back cover in side the groove so that the back

! ! cover must be not nailed and it sealed in the groove.!

12. The groove step it make by the table saw, by marking

and make sure the saw is in the low down so the grove will be

formed (figure 2.7).!

!
Alert!!
!
! ! -Please be careful while while making the !

! ! groove.!

MANUFACTURING OF BOOK CABINET- Group 7 Page 9


!
Trivia
!
The Table saw !

!
! A table saw or saw bench is a woodworking tool consisting of a circular saw blade,

mounted on an arbor, that is driven by an electric motor (either directly, by belt, or by gears). The

blade protrudes through the surface of a table, which provides support for the material, usually

wood, being cut.!

! In a modern table saw, the depth of the cut is varied by moving the blade up and down: the

higher the blade protrudes above the table, the deeper the cut that is made in the material. In some

early table saws, the blade and arbor were fixed, and the table was moved up and down to expose

more or less of the blade. The angle of cut is controlled by adjusting the angle of blade. Some

earlier saws angled the table to control the cut angle.!

!
Personal Protective Equipment!

! Personal protective equipment (PPE) (figure 2.8) refers to protective clothing, helmets,

goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury. The

hazards addressed by protective equipment include physical, electrical, heat, chemicals,

biohazards, and airborne particulate matter. Protective equipment may be worn for job-related

occupational safety and health purposes, as well as for sports and other recreational activities.

"Protective clothing" is applied to traditional categories of clothing, and "protective gear" applies to

items such as pads, guards, shields, or masks, and others.!

! The purpose of personal protective equipment is to reduce employee exposure to hazards

when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective to reduce these risks to

acceptable levels. PPE is needed when there are hazards present. PPE has the serious limitation

that it does not eliminate the hazard at source and may result in employees being exposed to the

hazard if the equipment fails.!


MANUFACTURING OF BOOK CABINET- Group 7 Page 10
! Any item of PPE imposes a barrier between the wearer/user and the working environment.

This can create additional strains on the wearer; impair their ability to carry out their work and

create significant levels of discomfort. Any of these can discourage wearers from using PPE

correctly, therefore placing them at risk of injury, ill-health or, under extreme circumstances, death.

Good ergonomic design can help to minimise these barriers and can therefore help to ensure safe

and healthy working conditions through the correct use of PPE.!

!
! Practices of occupational safety and health can use hazard controls and interventions to

mitigate workplace hazards, which pose a threat to the safety and quality of life of workers. The

hierarchy of hazard control hierarchy of control provides a policy framework which ranks the types

of hazard controls in terms of absolute risk reduction. At the top of the hierarchy are elimination

and substitution, which remove the hazard entirely or replace the hazard with a safer alternative. If

elimination or substitution measures cannot apply, engineering controls and administrative

controls, which seek to design safer mechanisms and coach safer human behaviour, are

implemented. Personal protective equipment ranks last on the hierarchy of controls, as the workers

are regularly exposed to the hazard, with a barrier of protection. The hierarchy of controls is

important in acknowledging that, while personal protective equipment has tremendous utility, it is

not the desired mechanism of control in terms of worker safety.!

shoot of the nail will be more accurate (figure 3.4).!

2. Make sure the line is straight by using the L-square

ruler. it is to prevent the shelve or the railing will be

tilt (figure 3.4).!

3. We start by Pre assemble (figure 3.5) first by not

using the nail but just combined with hand the

shelve and railing and try the back cover to enter

the groove. If all were good then we will start for the Figure 3.4 ( Marking by L-Ruler)

final assemble.!

! Trivia
!
Nail gun fact in incident (Safety)!

! In the United States, about 42,000 people every year go to emergency rooms with injuries

from nail guns, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Forty percent of those

injuries occur to consumers. Nail gun injuries tripled between 1991 to 2005. Foot and hand injuries

are among the most common. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that

treating nail gun wounds costs at least $338 million per year nationally in emergency medical care,

rehabilitation, and workers' compensation. Often personnel selling the tools know little about the

dangers associated with their use or safety features that can prevent injuries!

! Injuries to the fingers, hands, and feet are among the three most common, but there are

also injuries that involve other body areas and internal organs. Some of these injuries are serious

and some have resulted in death.All kinds of nail guns can be dangerous, so safety precautions

similar to those for a firearm are usually recommended for their use. For safety, nail guns are

designed to be used with the muzzle touching the target. Unless specifically modified for the

purpose, they are not effective as projectile weapons.!

! The most common firing mechanism is the dual-action contact-trip trigger, which requires

that the manual trigger and nose contact element both be depressed for a nail to be discharged.

The sequential-trip trigger, which is safer, requires the nose contact to be depressed before the

manual trigger, rather than simultaneously with the trigger. Approximately 65% to 69% of injuries

from contact-trip tools could be prevented through the use of a sequential-trip trigger, according to

the CDC.!

! There is recoil associated with the discharge of a nail from a nail gun. Contact triggers allow

the gun to fire unintended nails if the nose hits the wood surface or a previously placed nail

following recoil. Nailers with touch tip (contact) triggers are susceptible to this double firing.

According to a 2002 engineering report from the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC)

MANUFACTURING OF BOOK CABINET- Group 7 Page 15


(figure 3.9), the recoil and firing of the second nail occurs well before the trigger can be released.

Acute injury rates are twice as high among users of tools with contact triggers.!

! In September 2011 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) issued a nail gun safety guide that

details practical steps to prevent injuries including use of tools

with sequential triggers, training prior to use, and use of

appropriate protective equipment such as eye protection. In

June 2013, NIOSH released an instructional comic providing

information on nail gun hazards and ways to use the device

properly. Research aimed at reducing nail gun accidents

among frame carpenters, among the heaviest users of nail

guns, is ongoing.!

! Figure 3.8 ( CPSC US Logo)

!
What is Steel Square?!

! The steel square is a tool that carpenters use to it is call as “Carpenter Ruler”. They use

many tools to lay out a "square" or right-angle, many of which are made of steel, but the title steel

square refers to a specific long-armed square that has additional uses for measurement, especially

of angles, as well as simple right-angles. Today the steel square is more commonly referred to as

the framing square. It consists of a long arm and a shorter one, which meet at an angle of 90

degrees (a right angle). It can also be made of metals like aluminum, which is light and resistant to

rust.!

The wider arm, two inches wide, is called the blade; the narrower arm, one and a half inches wide,

the tongue. The square has many uses, including laying out common rafters, hip rafters and stairs.

It has a diagonal scale, board foot scale and an octagonal scale. On the newer framing squares

there are degree conversions for different pitches and fractional equivalents.


MANUFACTURING OF BOOK CABINET- Group 7 Page 16


How to use steel square (figure 3.1)?!

Stairs usually consist of three components. They are the stringer, the tread and the riser. The

stringer is the structural member that carries the load of the staircase, the tread is the horizontal

part that is stepped on, and the riser board is the vertical part which runs the width of the structure.

There are many types of stairs: open, closed, fully housed, winding, and so on, to mention a few of

them.!

Laying out a staircase requires rudimentary math. There are numerous building codes to which

staircases must conform. In an open area the designer can incorporate a more desirable staircase.

In a confined area this becomes more challenging. In most staircases there is one more rise than

there are treads (figure 3.9).!

! 1.! The rise (vertical measurement), and the run (horizontal measurement). Note that the

stringer will rest partially on the horizontal surface.!

! 2.! This is a two-by-twelve piece of lumber. A framing square is placed on the lumber so that

the desired rise and tread marks meet the edge of the board. The outline of the square is

traced. The square is slid up the board until the tread

is placed on the mark and the process is repeated.!

! 3.! The board is cut along the dotted lines, and the top

plumb cut and the bottom level cut are traced by

holding the square on the opposite side.!

! 4.! The stringer in this example has two pieces of tread

stock. This allows for a slight overhang. There is

also a space in between the boards. The bottom of

the stringer must be cut to the thickness of the

tread. This step is called dropping the stringer. After

one stringer is cut this piece becomes the pattern

that is traced onto the remaining stringers.!

History of hammer!

! The use of simple hammers dates to about 2,600,000 BCE when various shaped stones

were used to strike wood, bone, or other stones to break them apart and shape them. Stones

attached to sticks with strips of leather or animal sinew were being used as hammers with handles

by about 30,000 BCE during the middle of the Paleolithic Stone Age.!

! The hammer's archeological record shows that it may be the oldest tool for which definite

evidence exists of its early existence.!

Popular types of hammer!

Popular hand-powered variations include:!

! •! Ball-peen hammer, or mechanic's hammer!

! •! Drilling hammer!

! •! Engineer's hammer,!

! •! Gavel, used by judges and presiding authorities to draw attention!

Steps!

1. After the assemble was done, the nail gun may left a little hole from the nail itself on the

product. So, we need to close or cover the

hole by using the filler. (figure 4.4) ( figure 4.5)!

2. After filling the hole, we need to scrap the left

filler by the scrapper to avoid it from hardened!

3. Then, We need to use the sand paper which

is number 120.!

!
Figure 4.4 ( Put The Filler)
!

! Trivia
!
What is coating?!

! A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the

substrate. The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both. The coating

itself may be an all-over coating, completely covering the substrate, or it may only cover parts of

the substrate. An example of all of these types of coating is a product label on many drinks bottles-

one side has an all-over functional coating (the adhesive) and the other side has one or more

decorative coatings in an appropriate pattern (the printing) to form the words and images. Paints

and lacquers are coatings that mostly have dual uses of protecting the substrate and being

decorative, although some artists paints are only for decoration, and the paint on large industrial

pipes is presumably only for the function of preventing corrosion.!

! Functional coatings may be applied to change the surface properties of the substrate, such

as adhesion, wetability, corrosion resistance, or wear resistance. In other cases, e.g.

semiconductor device fabrication (where the substrate is a wafer), the coating adds a completely

new property such as a magnetic response or electrical conductivity and forms an essential part of

the finished product.!

! A major consideration for most coating processes is that the coating is to be applied at a

controlled thickness, and a number of different processes are in use to achieve this control,

ranging from a simple brush for painting a wall, to some very expensive machinery applying

coatings in the electronics industry. A further consideration for 'non-all-over' coatings is that control

is needed as to where the coating is to be applied. A number of these non-all-over coating

processes are printing processes.!

! Many industrial coating processes involve the application of a thin film of functional material

to a substrate, such as paper, fabric, film, foil, or sheet stock. If the substrate starts and ends the

process wound up in a roll, the process may be termed "roll-to-roll" or "web-based" coating. A roll

of substrate, when wound through the coating machine, is typically called a web.!

Coatings may be applied as liquids, gases or solids.!

What Is Thinner? !

A paint thinner is a solvent used to thin oil-based paints or clean up after their use. Commercially,

solvents labeled "Paint Thinner" are usually mineral spirits having a flash point at about 40  °C

(104 °F), the same as some popular brands of charcoal starter.!

Solvents used as paint thinners include:!

! •! Mineral spirits (US) / White spirit (UK)!

! •! Acetone!

! •! Mineral turpentine (turps)!

! •! True turpentine!

! •! Naphtha!

! •! Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)!

! •! Dimethylformamide (DMF)!

! •! 2-Butoxyethanol, or any of the other glycol ethers!

Other solvents sometimes used in the production of paint thinners include:!

! •! Ethylbenzene!

! •! Xylene!

! •! n-butyl acetate!

! •! Butan-1-ol!

While painting or making the paint of proper consistency by addition of thinner liquid there is an

exposure to the vapours. ACGIH has established threshold limit values (TLVs) for most of these

compounds. TLV is defined as the maximum concentration in air which can be breathed by a

normal person (i.e., excluding children, pregnant women, etc.) in the course of 40 hours work (in

US work conditions) per week, day after day through their work life without long-term ill effects. In

underdeveloped countries workers commonly experience much higher exposure to these

chemicals with consequent damage to their health.!

5.1 Discussion and Recommendation !

Discussion :!

There are several problem with the project that we can relate to the untidiness of the work. There

are something that not calibrated or unsatisfied are get from this reason:!

!
1.! We find that there are some defects in the wood. Among the defects that arise in the wood:!

• There is erosion on the upper edge of the timber.!


• Scratches of the the wood surface arises easily it is too sensitive when an object is touched the
wood.!

• The wood easily broke when connect with high impact, for example : when it touch the floor it
crack easily at the edge.!

!
2.! The machine does not in a good condition which is:!

• The saw blade is blunt!


• The measurement in the machine was not calibrated.!
• The machine was not well maintain.!
• The radial arm saw was release smoke when we used it.!
• The roller on the machine is not mild and it is to old!
• The machine was not take care properly. For example : The machine is too dusty, there is no
maintenance to cleanse the machine periodic.!

!
3. ! Material is not sufficient!

• The plywood is not sufficient so we cannot choose wish is the best to use.!
• The plywood (back cover) is not sufficient. So there is one group need to use two plywood for
the back cover.!

• We need to stick one plywood with another one because it is not enough for the size.!
!
!

4.! Lack of time!

• We as a student does not have sufficient time to settle this product as soon as possible.!
• So the product is need to do in hurry, so its is not in well organise while making it by following
the steps.!

• The program that the polytechnic done is disturb this activity, its takes a lot of time to join the
program while this product is not completely done yet. For example: The Convocation event is in

progress while we are doing the project.!

!
!
Recommendation :!

!
• Machine of the table circular saw should be maintained before being used for fission perfectly.!
• Using more modern machines to facilitate the work of splitting and cutting.!
• Provide opportunities for every student to try to use the machine for the experiences in using the
machine.!

• Make sure the plywood have the best qualities for the student to use.!
• Make sure the blade of the saw is sharp and be maintain .!
• Make sure the ruler is well calibrated in the machine.!
• Make sure the machine is in the good condition.!
• Make sure the materials such plywood is sufficient before the project is plan, so that we are
easy to do this project.!

• Make sure the quality of the material is in a good quality.!


• The selves of the plywood (store) must be arrange properly, so we can choose or take the
plywood in easy way.!

• Make sure the time is enough to do a project.!


• Make a plant clearly so the product will become more tidy and neat.!

5.2 Conclusion!

!
In conclusion, the project was carried out for almost two months could be achieved through a

number of objectives that have been set before with almost perfect. Through this project, we can

learn something new about the exact measurement technique and know how to use the machine

to cut wood properly. Indirectly, we have been exposed to safety precautions when using

equipment and machinery in order to avoid untoward incidents occur. Moreover, some of the

objectives of this project are not met properly due to several factors that may be specified in the

project. Among them, the unpredictable weather conditions cause the time taken for drying this

product for so long. The next factor, the old machine used for several years causing the blade of

the machine table circular saw become blunt and cut into wood is not perfect. !

!
! The condition of the arm saw machine is not calibrated is another factor that may be

specified in the project. The measurement of plywood of the back cover is not suitable cause the

railing side A and B had to be shortened in order to cover the back of the bookshelf. Finally, the

project carried out for nearly two months to be completed by the date set by Mr. Kamal.!
