some info about it

Students will work together with scientists, environmental experts and a diverse range of leaders and other like-minded students throughout the week to help them develop strong leadership skills while learning about topical environmental issues and how these can be tackled.

Participation, adventure and learning are all key requirements for delegates. They will take part in environmental and marine science activities and visit businesses and local organisations to learn about what they are doing to reduce their impact on the environment.

tools used in the work

 Carpenters pencil a carpenters pencil is flat to stop in rolling away 

Marking guage a marking gauge is used to mark a piece of wood using a metal spike . you rest the edge of the wood on the wooden block that can be moved up and down the shaft to a custom length to scribe a line 

Sliding bevel

A sliding bevel is used to mark a angle consistently  it length can also be adjusted for different depths on the wood it is also known as a false square because duplicate angle with out the  angles being at right angles 

Combination square 

A combination square is has a preset 90 and 45 degree square that slides up and down a ruler that can be used for marking depth  and height to make sure something is level you can also you th spirt level

Engineers squarea engineers square , also known as a try square  . the engineers square is used to mark a straight line perpendicular  to the edge of the work  this is used to make sure you work has a straight 90 angle 

Tenon saw. a tenon saw is a back saw designed to rip the wood for cross grain cuts 

vicea  vice is used to hold you work in place so you can keep it still while being able to work on to the vices uses a screw to  clamp the work together

Plane a plane removes a layer of wood to make it flat or to get the wood down to a desired thickness

about differnt timbers

 Task for this week Week 2 (11/2/2021) 

Timber in NZ 

Start it as a word doc. You will be copying and paste into a blog There are 5 parts .

Explain  with a graphic the different parts of a tree’

Show and explain the different parts of the cross section of a trunk.

Briefly explain how trees become timber1.the tree is cut down 

2. The branches are cut off

3. The  wood  is cut into lumber 

4.the wood is fully dried 

5. Then the wood is cut to its final dimensions 

6.then the wood is ready to be sold

Describe explain the different types of cut ( eg  quarter sawn) quarter sawn is when the log  is cut up in to quarters and then cut at 90 degrees 

Give an example of defects in timber Knot: A knot is a naturally-occurring defect in a piece of wood. Knots are circular imperfections caused by a broken-off tree branch. knots may fall out and leave a holewood can also rot and decay this breaks down the this makes the wood lose its strength this is normally caused by moisture

Give examples of timber used in NZ  pine is commonly used in the timber industry in newzealand another example of timber that is used in new zealand is the different types of beech trees there is black beech, red beech, silver beech, hard beech mountain beech  these woods are normaly used for decorative reasons and they all have strong and durable heart wood

DTE XBOX 360 project

 so far in dte we whave been working on fixing and modify an xbox 360 . so far we have come up with our plan  and our concept design we have remove the dust and completely dissembled it .

we plan on cutting a hole in it hydro dipping it and attaching it to a monitor and making it a semi portable all in 1 Xbox setup.

to far we have fixed the software issuse with the xbox once we had done that we cleaned the dust off once we did that we removed the motherboard from the frame because we were going to hydro dip the frame but we have changed our plan to hydro dip the case and add led lighting and also hydro dip the monitor . we have started cut some of the cover out so that you can see the inner workings we also  plan on making so you can see the disc as it spins

here are some of the concept designs we are using as our inspirations

How to use Taps and die sets in engineering .CMM2

What is tap and die used for in Engineering 

A tap and die are use for cutting threads in or onto a piece of metal

TAP

When would you use a tap for a thread 

You would use a tap for a internal thread inside of a hole

Does the hole need to be bigger or smaller , explain why .

When tapping a thread the hole that is being tapped needs to be smaller than the tap because when tapping  material is being removed from the inside of the hole forming the thread

METRIC TAPPING THREAD CHART.

What are the different types of tap ( taper, intermediate, bottoming) explain the difference between them 

a taper tap is a tap that is tapered so that you can ease in to cutting the threads.

a Bottoming tap has next to no taper because it is designed to thread all the way to the bottom of the tap

a intermediate tap has between 3-5 tapered threads that is more than a bottoming tap and less than a taper tap

.

Die

When would you use a Die for a thread 

you would use a die for making the external part of the thread

Does the Bar need to be bigger or smaller , explain why .

The Bar has to be larger than the die because you are cutting in to the bar and not add material to the outside of the bar.

some die's you can use on a lathe and some that you have to turn by hand
