Brief
My two young sons have a lot of toys lying around our home. This makes the room a mess.
These toys include electronic games which are quite expensive.
These toys require batteries and various wires to help them operate.
My sons like to take the games to their friends homes to play against them.
I would like to design and make something to store all these games, batteries and wires etc and allow my sons to transport them easily to other places.

Analysis
First I must break the problem down into all the areas I must consider. I will use a Mind map (or Spidergram) to consider all the Design Factors.

Specifications
The analysis has helped me write a Design Specification. This is a list of what me design will do.
My design should:
Store electronic consoles, game cartridges, batteries and wires.
Be easily stored in bedroom cupboard.
Be portable to allow games to be used elsewhere.
Be suitable for use whilst travelling in the car.
Be usable by both adults and children.
Be safe to use.
Use materials which are durable under constant usage but inexpensive.
Look attractive in all locations used.

I will include this information when designing my box.

Research – Ergonomics (1)
Ergonomics is the study of people in relation to their surroundings and they items they use.
I have to design my storage box in such a way that it considers the people that will be using it.
If the storage box is to be stored on a wall or in a cupboard it should be at a height that is suitable for all users.
The weight of the box should be kept light so that small children can lift it with ease.
The items stored in the box must be secure but still accessible.
Enough space for fingers of adults and children should be left for getting items in and out.
If the box is to be portable it should be easy lift and not drag on the ground.
Standard Grade Craft & Design
Research – Ergonomics (2)
I measured important features around my home relating to the box.
My son can reach comfortably up to a height of 1.5m.
This limits the maximum wall storage height.
My fingers are thicker than my children’s and measure 15mm.
This is the gap that should be left around items so that they can be removed easily.
My youngest son can comfortably carry 2kg.
This puts an upper limit on the usable weight of the box.

Research – Wood joints(1)
Square ended butt joint
Butt joints are the quickest and simplest joints to make. They
are not very strong and must usually be strengthened by
dovetail nailing or dowels.
Mitre joint
Mitre joints are neater than butt joints because the end grain
is hidden.
Butt rub joint
A butt rub joint is a square ended butt joint with a triangular section wooden block glued to the inside. This reinforces the joint and gives it extra strength.

Research – Wood joints(2)
Dowelled butt joint
Dowels are often made from a hard wood called Ramin, they come in a range of diameters from 4 - 25 mm and typically have a grooved surface to allow the glue to flow easily along the dowel when it is inserted into the hole.
Mitre joint—with splines
The mitre can be strengthened by nailing or by inserting splines
of veneer into saw cuts across the joint.
Lap joint
Lap or corner rebate joints are stronger than butt joints
because they increase the area being glued. They are also
neater because less end grain shows.

Research – Wood joints(3)
Finger joint
Finger or comb joints are fairly easy to make as there are no dovetail-type angles. The large gluing area gives the joint its strength. This joint is ideally suited to industrial situations where it
is produced using machine tools.
Through dovetail joint
Ideal for the corner joints on the backs of drawers, the tapered shape of the 'tails' resist the forces applied to the joints when the drawer is in use.
Apart from being a strong joint in some situations dovetails are
used primarily for their decorative qualities.

Groove joint
A groove joint is a simple and fairly strong way of attaching a drawer bottom. By leaving the groove open at the back of the drawer it is easy slide in the drawer bottom after the rest of the drawer has been assembled.
Nowadays grooves are usually cut with a power router.
Rebate joint
A rebate joint allows a panel to be easily inserted into a door or cabinet back after the frame or carcase has been assembled. Panels can be pinned or held in place using lengths of moulding.
