Study Notes
Understanding Technical Drawings
- Working drawings are technical drawings used in engineering and design.
- They adhere to standards like British Standards to ensure clear communication and understanding across geographic locations.
-
Title Box: Contains crucial information for deciphering the drawing.
- Includes: school name, object name, part details, and units.
- Units: Millimeters are used for woodwork.
- Third angle projection symbol: Indicates how the drawing is laid out and which rules were used to create it.
-
Four Views:
- Plan view: Top-down view
- Front elevation: Front view
- End elevation: Side view
- Relationship between views: Lines connecting features in different views ensure consistency and aid in understanding the 3D object.
- Pictorial View: A 3D view of the object, but often at a different scale.
Dimensions and Symbols
- Dimensions: Numbers indicating sizes, expressed in millimeters.
-
Diameter Symbol (Ø):
- Denotes the distance across a circle.
- Example: Ø18 indicates a circle with a diameter of 18 millimeters.
-
Radius Symbol (R):
- Denotes the distance from the center of a circle to its edge.
- Used for half circles, arcs, or incomplete circles.
- Example: R10 indicates a radius of 10 millimeters.
-
Square Symbol (□):
- Sometimes used to denote a square size, indicating the same dimension for all four sides.
- Solid Lines: Represent visible edges of the object.
- Dashed Lines: Indicate hidden details or edges not visible from the current view.
-
Center Lines: (Long dash, gap, short dash, gap, long dash)
- Indicate rounded or cylindrical features.
-
Center Marks:
- Two intersecting lines forming a cross.
- Indicate the center of a circle.
Reading Dimensions and Sizes
- The number above a dimension line indicates the distance between the two extension lines.
- Extension Lines: Lines which extend from the object to mark the beginning and end of a dimension.
-
Example:
- A dimension line above two extension lines with the number 25 indicates a distance of 25 millimeters between the two points marked by the extension lines.
-
Overall Dimensions:
- Show the total length, width, or height of an object.
Woodworking Conventions: Determining Length, Breadth, and Thickness
- Length: Always runs along the grain direction.
- Breadth: Runs across the grain.
- Thickness: Determined by the remaining dimension, neither length nor breadth.
Understanding Cutting Lists
- A cutting list resembles a shopping list for wood materials.
- It specifies the size and quantity of rectangular pieces required to build a project.
-
Columns in a Cutting List:
- Part Name: Descriptive name of the component.
- Quantity: Number of pieces needed.
- Material: Type of wood or other material.
- Length: Length of the rectangular plank required (always along the grain).
- Breadth: Width of the rectangular plank required (across the grain).
- Thickness: Thickness of the rectangular plank required.
Reading a Cutting List Example
-
Example Cutting List:
- Part Name: Side Piece
- Quantity: 1
- Material: Pine
- Length: 100 (because it's along the grain)
- Breadth: 100 (because it's across the grain)
- Thickness: 30
- The cutting list specifies the necessary dimensions for a piece of wood from which the desired component will be cut.
Applying Cutting List Concepts to a Detailed Example
-
Example Working Drawing:
- Includes an elevation (front view), a plan view (top view), and an end elevation (side view).
- Shows the direction of grain and includes dimensions.
-
Component Identification:
- Identified components: Front/Back, Two Handles, Base.
-
Material:
- Front/Back: Oak
- Handles: Beech
- Base: Plywood
-
Dimension Analysis:
- Front/Back:
- Length: 200 (along the grain)
- Breadth: 100 [106 (overall) - 6 (base thickness)]
- Thickness: 18
- Front/Back:
### Handles
- The handles run in the direction of the grain
- The grain is oriented vertically (up and down).
- The length of the handles is 144 millimeters (calculated by subtracting the base thickness [6mm] from the overall height [150mm]).
- The breadth of the handles is 100 millimeters.
- The thickness of the handles is 18 millimeters.
Base Plywood
- Base plywood is a manufactured board with no grain, composed of layers with grains orthogonal (at 90-degree angles) to each other.
- The length of the base is 200 millimeters.
- The breadth of the base is 136 millimeters.
- The thickness of the base is 6 millimeters.
