Project Description<\/h3>\n

For our plaque we designed something that can be easily attached to a previous project from another class. The project previously completed was a bar, and this plaque will pay tribute to our hockey team and everyone who has contributed to the history of Princeton Hockey. The quote \u201cBuild It And They Will Come\u201d is a reference to Noah in the bible, but also to a mindset for our team and the culture that we have built around our team. The idea is that people will come to a program where there is a great culture and sense of belonging. The design is as follows: a commemorative plaque that uses different types of wood in order to create a special and unique design. We inlayed a striped Princeton \u201cP\u201d into the center of the plaque which sticks out to add some depth. The \u201cP\u201d uses Mahogany wood since it is a little orange, the stripes in the P are made from the Walnut wood since it is darker in color and finally, the plaque itself is made from Cherry plywood. The quote surrounds the \u201cP\u201d and simply was carved out of the wood. Along with the quote, further designs were added, varying in complexity based on the bit we are able to put into the machine.[\/vc_column_text][vc_zigzag el_border_width=”8″ css=”.vc_custom_1553988641874{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Technical Background<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The original prototype of this design, caused many difficulties with the Carvey and time constraints due to materials not being ordered lead our group to not be able to remedy those difficulties in time. Learning from previous mistakes will allow for a much better finished product and will improve on the prototype greatly. Learning that the type of wood ordered was quite brittle, and would break when the Carvey tried to make small detailed designs. To fix the problem with the brittle wood it is best to adjust the depth and possibly the design shape to ensure the cuts from the carvey are mistake free. In terms of a creating a significant improvement on the design, it will first be creating everything in a different ways in order to avoid breaking and also avoid \u201cfit\u201d problems that occurred previously. Furthermore, adding of other designs to the second version of the plaque, including a carved border to fill out the space around the edges and possibly further detail in the other spaces in the form of tiger heads and hockey sticks. In order to complete all of this it is imperative to have many trials. The first prototype was not accompanied by enough trials testing different fonts and sizes of drill bits in order to avoid breaks and problems with fitting. This time around, many different trials will be completed using different fonts and expanding other designs to allow for tools to fit between different parts of the more complex designs. The main issue was that the Carvey only had a \u215b bit. This time around a 1\/16 bit will be found or ordered so that finer designs can be completed with precision. The border and other designs are the biggest improvement from the first semester. The border will be completed using a second piece of wood, measuring out the dimensions correctly, and trimming off approximately a half-inch border piece. Rounding and sanding, followed by primer will be applied to the border pieces and then applied to the plaque with wood glue. For the other designs that we are potentially adding to the plaque, this should be relatively straight forward with the only challenge being the brittle wood breaking when the fine design is applied. All of these things combined will add a further technical element to our plaque and provide improvement on our initial design.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u201cBring Carving into the Classroom.\u201d Carvey\u00ae, www.inventables.com\/technologies\/carvey.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the first semester, we designed a prototype plaque in order to understand how the Carvey works and what it’s limitations were. From there, we figured that due to the size of the bit, we had to carefully pick our font so that in there are very minimal issues. We settled on Bebas which turned out great in our next trial run. In the next trial run, our ‘P’ was too small and could not fit the inlayed ‘P’. Finally, we made our final plaque and added in ‘2019’ and a couple hockey sticks to improve the aesthetics of the plaque. We also added a border. During the process, we used the band saw to cut our wood to size and we used the Carvey to cut the intricate designs into our piece of wood. We used a chop saw to cut the borders at a 45 degree angle so that they fit nicely. We sanded down the corners and the rest of the plaque so that it looks clean. To create our design for our plaque, we used CREO.<\/p>\n

The biggest issue we encountered in the first semester was that the inlays for the “P’s” stripes did not fit whatsoever and so we need to adjust the size of them and do a lot of sanding. Because the bit in the Carvey was large, it was difficult to make proper inlays that fit perfectly. We put in a lot of work making sure the inlays fit properly and looked good. We painted the ‘P’ orange and the stripes black to help make the plaque look even better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
