then you have to drill another hole so you can put the scrwe in.

then when you have put the the cross dowel joint in then uou have to check if it fits.

you have to put a 5mm line from the top so you can drill a hole in for the croos dowel joint.
 




when you have drilled the the hole you have to put the screw in to check if it fits put this time when we did it it didnt fit so we had to drill a bigger hole so it fits.
the cross dowel joint worked becasue we used the right mesurments.

we had to screw the screw in the bottom then we had to scure it with an key so it didnt come out we had top do this becasue the screw didnt come out.

the cross dowel joint has finished.

This is a picture of the bottom of the mdf so you can see the joint from a bottom perspective.

Brief

I will need to consider the colours that I use.  For example i shall use the colours yellow, red, blue, black and white. Theese are the colours of De Stijl. The colours yellow, red and blue are also the three primary colours of the colour wheel. These colours make the furniture very bright.

lap and housing joint

Test if it fits in the hole.





You have finished the housing and the lap joint.


chzel the wood out.


Cam Lock

First you must get the piece of wood ready by marking a line on the wood against the edge of the bottom block and marking the drill position.
Do this using a square to ensure a good line is drawn. Next clamp the wood to the drill machine after setting the drill up with a 5mm drill bit. Using the chuck. Remove the chuck before drilling
Next make sure the drill will go down exactly where it needs to go and how low it needs to go. This can be done by changing the height of the drill and moving the block around.
Once you've finished drilling the hole, insert the cam by screwing it in tight.

Then do the drilling procedure on the top of the top piece but the drill bit size should be 7mm

Then test to see if it fits.



Finally use a forstner drill bit to drill the 15mm camlock hole. Once done, insert the cam lock and test
