Workshop Work

• 1. Cage for hen chicks

We were given a task to build a cage for hen chicks

we started by collecting material from the scrap, Then a structure was made with the help of welding.

After this structure was completely welded, We had to put net around this structure.

So we started taking measurements for cutting of net.

After we cut the net, We started welding it on the structure.

The net was completed welded over the structure .

Now we had to put shelter over the structure we bought blue colour steel metal sheet for the scrap and began to cut it in required size.

After the metal sheet was cut according to size required, we started to attached it to the structure in a way that rain water doesn’t enter inside.

we started joining the patra with the help of bolts.

The structure was completely covered from top.

But for completion we still have to give paint to this structure.

We decided to give the structure black colour paint.

2. Safety Door

We were given a task to build a Safety Door

We started bring the material from Pabal Market,

We Cut the Channel as a Project required,

Then a structure was made with the help of welding.

Then to make it partition between two side Upper & Lower side.

We are going to put a design on top of the door. complete Door structure with full welding.

We have completely welding the door then after I have to finishing the welding places. because, near welded joints unwanted particles has been collected then this particles we removed using Grander.

Then we have purchase door upper side design from Pabal Village, then we have to assemble it.

When Complete the all Fabrication work we have discuss the Jadhav sir and choose Redox primer for this Safety door.

We Applied primary colour on Safety door and kept it drying. Painted Door by using Roller. We have used Roller for painting due to not available Sprayer system because, the generator is not running.

After gived the Redox on Safety door, we discuss with Jadhav sir about, which paint choosing for Safety door.

Then we have choose and decided to white colour for this safety door.

We have paint the white color on safety door. Painted Safety door by using sprayer. We have used sprayer for painting due to it saves time and work will be fast.

Then we have to assembled Grating for upper side of door; because, mosquito will be enter easily inner side hence we have to assembled the Grating from inside the Safety door.

After complete all fabrication & other works, we discussed and assembled fixed door lock and they will be easily operated.

then I have to go shikrapur and purchase Door safety lock.

Conclusion:

I got to learn so many new things, I didn`t knew how to make safety door, it was great experiance.

3. Cage for BSF (Black Soldier Fly)

Introduction of BSF:

The larvae and adults are considered neither pests nor vectors. Instead, black soldier fly larvae play a similar role to that of redworm as essential decomposers in breaking down organic substrates and returning nutrients to the soil. The larvae have voracious appetites and can be used for composting household food scrap and agriculture waste products.

Need of Project:

1. To Protect them from animals that eat them.
2. To make it easier to get the right environment for their growth.
3. It should be possible to keep them in one place.

PROCESS TO MAKE A STRUCTURE:

28 SEP 2022

Our Team – @samarth-tarale,@varad-gadkari,&me(@abhishek-ahivale) dis discussion with Dr. Dixit sir & Mr. Prasad sir about how should we design our structure for easy and effective use for BSF project. we Finalized a rough ideology of structure and calculated a rough estimate for fabrication.

DESIGN OF STRUCTURE:

The design of the Structure is designed by @samarth-tarale.

REQUIRED LIST OF MATERIAL:

Sr. No.	Name of Material	Size	Qty
1.	Aluminium Mesh	2mm	120 sq’
2.	Battom Strip	6.3′(L), 1″(w) & 5mm(T)	10
3.	Square Tube	20×20mm, 20′(L) & 1.6mm(T)	2
4.	Hinge	35×40mm	4
5.	Knob	L=80mm, D=8mm	4
6.	Self Screw	L=1”, D=4mm	150
7.	Araldide	36gm	1
8.	Aldrop	50×20mm	2
9.	Silicon	250ml	2

BILL OF MATERIAL:

FABRICATION OF STRUCTURE:

14th Oct 2022 – 18th Oct 2022

Our Team member: @varad-gadkari, @samarth-tarale & me(@abhishek-ahivale)

We found a ready skeleton of structure in ashram which was not in use and can be modified for our structure. On the basis of new availability of structure we modified the list of material.

We brought a structure from dixit sir home which was made for other use.

1. So we had to make some modification in it as required for BSF cage.
2. We used polish paper on the structure to clean it.

So we used grinder & on the structure and removed non required parts by grinding. so that it will be easy to fabricate

And welded the structure properly where ever required as per our design.

Initially, we were not getting the perfect welding, the square tubes was getting holes So we took help of swapnil for welding.

1.After the welding work on the structure, we used metal putti to patch the small holes where they were.(After communicating with Mahesh, he told us that there should be no hole left anywhere in the structure, because if there is a hole left, flies will lay their eggs there.)

2. So After that discussion with Mahesh decided to paint the Structure, We used Redox to color the structure.

19/10/22 to 29/10/2022

we went to pabal village to buy material required for the structure.( aluminium mesh, wooden plate, knob, self screw, hinge, aldrop, square tube).

Fixing of aluminium-mosquito net on structure:-

1. We started to fix a net on top side of the structure, for that used battom patti and 1” self screws.
2. We fixed net to 4 sides of structure except the side where we have to fix the door.

3. We went to village to buy drill beats 4.75 mm diameter.

4. We drill the bottom side of the structure by using the self screw and coolent so we could attached the mesh at the bottom side and strech it.

Fabrication of Door:

5. Then we fixed the mesh on all side of the BSF structure but we faced a problem as the bottom side of the structure as the L Angle at the base was very thicker and harder because they were welded. So it was hard to drill in it and took a lot of time.

6. We fixed two small doors to the frame of bigger door with the help of hinge and attached there aldrop according to the instruction given to us.

31/10/22- 2/11/22

1. We went to pabal Village to bring more aluminum mesh because we required more mesh for door of the structure( 9 sq feet).
2. we required more self screw because some screw were not proper and were not able to penitrate.
3. We made drill holes on the door frame and then on the frame of the structure.
4. Then we fixed the door with the help of nut bolts to see if it fitted properly and to see if there were any gaps left.
5. We fix aluminium mesh at small door.

7/11/22- 10/11/22

1. We used self screw and tightened the mesh from all sides.( while inserting self screw our hand slip and a hole was formed on the net and we had to fixed it.(so we discuss with Dixit sir and found out its solution and brought Araldite and applied it with a small piece of mesh and fixed the hole problem.)
2. We applied silicon to fill the gap between mesh and square tube as the flies give eggs in any gap they find and then it is hard to get those eggs out so we had to take care of smallest gap .

there was a gap between the frame of door and frame of structure. We used cloth gasket .

Then we found one more problem that there was gap between the frame of door and one of the smaller door.

When we used cloth for filling the gap between door, then we have to face problem(Door close and open is very tight)

So we used Rubber gasket.

Finalization of Project:-

What I Learned ….

1. We learned from this that how Design Thinking Process actually works on the practical projects.
2. Also learned How Design and material selection should be done on the client demand and market survey.
3. How to do a accurate and proper fabrications.
4. Team-Work and team building for progress of project.
