Wooden Toy Car
In this project I was tasked with creating a wood toy using sourced pieces of solid wood
Inspirational Board
Technical Board
With this technical board I provide research into the type of wood toy I am designing and the wood/ wood type I will be using to support and execute this creation.
IDEATION
At this stage we had to compile up ideas of the wood toys we want to create or find inspiration in and we had to create ideation sketches to support the execution.
DEVELOPMENTAL SKETCHES
REFINEMENT SKETCHES
After the development car sketches, we had to showcase the small variations in some features of the car as I come close to the final product.
MOCKUP IMAGES
At this stage after making our ideation sketches, we had to execute and make a mockup of the final wood toy car idea sketch we came up with and try bringing it to life.
PROGRESS IMAGES OF FINAL PROTOTYPE
I began to work on the final prototype and in these pictures, I show the stages of my execution and refinement.
PROTOTYPE IMAGES
This is the final product of the research and ideation of the wooden toy car, and this is the outcome of all those things combined. The wooden toy car had to have functioning wheels which make it move and the whole prototype had to be made completely out of solid wood and we had to try replicate the ideation to as close as possible copy.
REFLECTION
At first I picked the Tesla Truck as my inspiration and final ideation for the prototype wood toy because I thought it was an easy pick, but I quick saw after I began making it that it wasn't so easy and I ran into so may problems form shaping the model car to over sanding parts, having to restart some parts definitely had me down for a bit but after I caught on it became an enjoyable experiences. Even thought we had 2 weeks to complete the car and extension because of the power problems I didn't reach the maximum outcomes of how I wanted the prototype to appear although it was a very relaxing and fun project to spend time in the workshop and work on it till, they close. I learned a lot from this and think if I had the chance to make another, I'd pick something more complex to make it better.
