Design Brief
Process
Dowel joints
Dowels are small round pegs made from a hardwood. They come in a range of diameters from timbers at different type of thicknesses. Some dowels are machined with grooves that allow the wood glue to flow up the dowel

Materials
Plywood
I am using plywood in my product because it has high strength and stability. Plywood derives its structural strenght from the timber it is manufactured from and also it is high impact resistance
MDF
The reasons why i am using MDF in my product is because the internal bond strength, the variety of thickness that it is available in. I am using MDF for the inner parts of my products because its cheap material to use and also the parts which use MDF are not visible when first looking at the product
Target market
The target market that this product is based around is that this product does not have a specific target audience because this product can be brought and be used by anyone who wishes to use this product.
Functions
LED lights
LED stands for light emitting diode with has an electrical component which conducts electricity in one direction
Suitability
The two materials that I am going to use to make my product is plywood and MDF.
Plywood is a suitable materials because it can be made in to many thin layers which creates a strong stable sheet of woods.
Plywood is an eco friendly wood- the product is made from a renewable source.
Plywood is a recyclable and reusable materials
MDF is a suitable material because it can be recycled and be reused
MDF is made from 100% natural wheat staw
