Hello, my name's Mrs. Taylor and I'm really pleased you can be here to join in with this lesson today.

Our lesson today is, "Equipment and Machinery, Textiles," and this is part of the, "Iterative Design, Nature" unit.

The outcome.

I can use hand tools and workshop machinery to safely manufacture designs.

There are three keywords.

Wasting, which is removing material.

Accuracy, which is very precise and exact.

And fabricate, which is joining materials.

In this lesson we have two parts, Hand tools and Machinery.

Let's get started with the first learning cycle.

Hand tools.

When manufacturing, it is important to plan which tools and equipment will achieve the desired outcome.

Manufacturing can be grouped into four categories.

Wasting, which is removing material.

Fabricating, which is joining material.

Deforming, which is changing the material shape but not the state.

And reforming, which is changing the material shape and the state.

Here we have a check for understanding.

Which manufacturing process involves changing the shape but not the state? Is it A, reforming, B, deforming or C, fabricating? Pause the video and have a go.

Great, let's check.

That's right, it's B, deforming.

Well done.

Tools and machinery can be categorised in the same way.

These tools are used to cut textiles.

We have fabric scissors, a rotary cutter, and some pinking shears.

Tools and machinery can be categorised in the same way.

These tools are used to cut timber.

We have a tenon saw, a coping saw and some drill bits.

Here we have a check for understanding.

Which of these tools are used for cutting textiles? Pause the video.

Well done, let's check.

That's right, it's A, the rotary cutter.

Well done.

Before any components can be cut out, the shape must be marked out.

It is important to cut on the waste side of the line.

Keeping the line ensures the component shape is accurate.

"If you lose the line, you lose the design." This phrase is a good way to remember.

Each component of the design is marked out, or a pattern piece is attached.

Wasting processes are then selected to cut and finish the shape.

It is important to cut on the waste side of the line to ensure the component remains the correct size.

Most patterns also allow for a seam allowance.

Here we can see a pattern piece marking out the fabric component and the seam allowance around the edge, and the waste.

Here is an example of marking out on MDF sheet.

The MDF component, the line and the waste can be seen.

We now have Task A.

Select and use the appropriate hand tools to cut each component of your design inspired by nature.

Describe how you will ensure accuracy when completing this.

Pause the video and have a go.

Brilliant, let's have a look at some of the answers you may have come up with.

Sophia says, "I used a pattern piece to mark out the ripstop nylon components of my design, which I checked to ensure they were in the right place before I used fabric scissors to cut them." Well done.

We now move to the second part of our lesson today, which is Machinery.

To fabricate means to join materials.

There are many ways to join materials, including timber joints, mechanical fixings such as screws, and stitching.

Here we can see a timber dovetail joint, a wood screw, and some stitching.

Using machinery can speed up the process of manufacturing.

Just like hand tools, using them accurately is a skill which you can develop with practise.

It is important to work to a line which you have marked out.

A sewing machine can be used to fabricate textile designs.

Here we can see a sewing machine.

Several key features have been identified.

We start with the take-up lever, the thread guide, needle, presser foot, spool pins, a hand wheel, and the stitch selector.

To ensure correct use and accuracy, a sewing machine must be set up correctly.

We'll now run through the steps.

Step one, choose the thread and wind the bobbin.

Step two, place the bobbin in the compartment.

Step three, add the thread to the spool pin and thread through the take-up arm and thread guides.

Step four, thread the needle.

And step five, use the hand wheel to lower and raise the needle, allowing for the bobbin thread to be caught.

Here we have a check for understanding.

Is this true or false? Using machinery results in greater accuracy.

Pause the video.

Wonderful, let's check.

It's false.

Using machinery accurately is a skill which can be practised.

Well done.

Timbers can be cut using machinery.

We can see a fret saw and a pillar drill.

When manufacturing using tools and machinery, it is important to consider the potential hazards and put measures in place to mitigate them.

This is called a risk assessment.

The risks of using a fret saw include, the operator's hands coming into contact with the blade, dust, noise, and broken blades.

To mitigate the risks of using a fret saw, we must keep your hand away from the blade.

Adjust the hold-down arm to the thickness of your material and ensure the wire loop is at the front of the blade.

Ensure the extractor hose is close to the cut.

And ensure the operator has been trained, wears goggles, and an apron.

Here we have a check for understanding.

Read the sentence and add the missing words.

Pause the video.

Wonderful, let's check.

A risk assessment is when you consider the potential hazards of a particular activity and put measures in place to mitigate them.

Well done.

We now move to Task B.

Select and use the appropriate machinery to waste, deform, and fabricate your design inspired by nature.

Describe the processes you have used and the health and safety considerations.

Pause the video and have a go.

Wonderful, let's have a look at some of the answers you may have come up with.

Sophia explains, "I use the sewing machine to stitch the pieces of ripstop nylon together and create the channel for the dowel to slide into.

I was careful not to sew over any pins as I used tacking stitches.

I also used the pillar drill to cut the holes for the dowels.

I used a G clamp to secure the MDF and put the clear guard down over the chuck once I had secured the drill bit and removed the chuck key." Well done.

We now have a summary of our learning today.

When manufacturing, it is important to plan which tools and equipment will achieve the desired outcome.

You could use hand tools or machinery.

Using machinery can speed up the process of manufacturing.

Using tools and machinery accurately is a skill which you can develop with practise.

It is important to cut on the waste side of the line to ensure the component remains the correct size.

I'm so pleased you could join me for our lesson today.

Well done.
