stage - 4

Industrial prototyping

At this stage i started working on the industrial lathe machines just to get the feel of the place and idea of manufacturing techniques. Every minute was precious out there in terms of learning and value for money.

my first experience on the wood lathe (image below)














javid carving on the wood lathe(image below)














initial prototypes on basic form(image below)














Figuring out the joinery for the tops using magnet locking system.
(image below)














the magnet locking joinery did not work because it couldn't take the initial high impact and force of the top landing on the ground. The more powerful magnets where getting very expensive for production standards.

The nail tips are made of stainless steel
It can take high impact, rust free, smooth edges.
