Scenario An older friend of yours buys and renovate old houses and then sells them again. He constantly has to replace the carpets and old timber floors. The challenge is to effectively remove the skirting board that is fixed to the wall with nails or Hilti's. Your friend has asked you to suggest a tool that you should design to break the skirting boards. A request is made to you to do the following for the possible solution: . • • • • • • researching different examples of a useful tool that can be used as a wedge to wedge between the wall and the skirting board. Your friend showed an example of an old axe blade that could possibly serve as a wedge if wedged parallel, and between the wall and the skirting board. the tool piece must have a flat, strong anvil shaped surface on the top, which is strong enough to be able to drive the wedge (axe's blade) deeper between the wall and the skirting board with a hammer. the tool must have a handle of ± 400 mm to act as a lever that can be pulled upwards after being wedged between the wall and the skirting board, so that the skirting board can be broken free from the wall. all three of the above parts must be welded together function as a unit (casting). Note, the weld symbols and finish symbols do not need to be shown. at least two freehand sketches of possible options of skirting wedges must be drawn. With one option, the handle must be represented as a solid square handle of 25. The second option should be a solid round rod handle with 25. In both representations, a small hole must be drilled at the end (farthest from the wedge) of the handle so that the tool can be hung up after use. to draw the freehand drawings as large as possible, the handle on one freehand drawing must be interrupted by the correct SANS 1011 symbol for solid square bar while the second freehand drawing an interrupted view for a solid round bar must be applied. choosing the best of the above two freehand options by following a structured process and presenting it in a table. draw one formal working drawing with a front view, top view and a left view or right view. One of these three views must be a sectional view.
