CONSTRUCTION OF STEEL CUPBOARD

CONSTRUCTION OF STEEL CUPBOARD
 
ABSTRACT
The project work “Construction of standard steel cupboard” was constructed at the mechanical workshop. During the construction, various hand and machinery tools (equipment) such as electric welding machine, hammers, Guillot, folding machine, spraying machine, milling machine, steel rule, hard saw, center punch, scribers, tri-square, drawing board and other vital and useful tools was used. However, before the standard structure of the steel cupboard was (produced), various procedures was strictly followed effectively which are as follows; marking and sketching operation to obtain the required dimension of 4.6ft by 3.6ft by 2ft also the dimension for door, plan and back was also measured and cut out as follows; 2ft by 1ft6, 3.6ft by 2ft, and 3.6ft by 4.6ft respectively. More so, the cut sheet was welded appropriately and filing operation was carried out to obtain smooth surface. Then to void destruction of the cupboard through corrosion, chemical; attacks and other environmental agent and for esthetic surface, painting operation was done. To avoid accident and injury during the construction, safety precautions were taken. Such as wearing of eye goggles during filing operation, respiratory mask was also wearied during spraying and so on. The steel cupboard constructed can be used to preserved books and other valuable items.
