Project Brief: In the Basic Materials class, I extensively explored the properties and applications of diverse woods and metals. I delved into melting points, cutting techniques, and welding processes. Hands-on experience included working with plywood, teak, sal, pine, paper mock-ups, and mild steel sheet metal. The project also involved practical exposure to various machines and tools, enhancing my proficiency in material manipulation. This comprehensive endeavor provides a solid foundation for informed decision-making in design and construction.
