Making Diary
I got the extra materials needed to complete the design of
my prototype. They consist of two foam pipe insulators to
act as padding for the panels and two roof rack straps to
hold both the main and back parts together.
35) I painted the main part and back part navy blue to give it a
contrasting appeal when put next to a rugby post and painted the
‘arms’ in a silver birch (grey) colour whilst leaving the lid white to
show that it was an individual part that has a separate function to
the panels.
I used a dot punch and ball pin
hammer to mark out the points for the 34) Once painted, I attached the strap ends to
screws to hold down the straps onto front post clip by screwing the screws through
the front post clip. the straps into the dot punched holes. This
securely held down the straps.
Evaluation
Overall, the making of the prototype was successful. I
only had small drawbacks that added only a few minutes
onto the total length of time I allocated to making the
jackal trainer. All the machines were well maintained so
I didn’t encounter any mechanical problems. Also, all the
materials I needed were available in the workshop
(except the pre manufactured components I brought in),
therefore, it made it easy for me to manufacture my
prototype. None of the parts broke during the making
and no dramatic errors were made, therefore I was
happy with the making of the prototype as I had time to
spare after making all of it to then test the prototype
and come back in to repair any faulty parts which I didn’t
need to, but was useful that I had the time to if needed.
36) The final stage of it all is putting together all the
components and erecting the finished proto-type. This
picture shows the product up against a rugby post inits
intended environment.
