ABSTRACT
In the manufacture of metal laboratory shelf, a Mechanical arrangement of materials are documents are stored and it could be made with metal or wood. But this one is fabricated with metal. The type of metal used in the fabrication is mild steel and square balusters. The un dismountable bookshelf which has five partitions and four compartment under went many process namely, the drawing and the dimensioning of the bookshelf, needed materials, the marking out and cutting of the materials, welding, smoothing and filling of the work, then finally painting. Actually our dreams has come through in fabrication of metal shelf that will be economically and at the same time meet up with the needed standard despite the subsidized rate. Bookshelf could be made with metals or wood and they could be attached against the wall or they could be made standing on the floor. Our bookshelf shall be of the metal type standing on the floor.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
A bookshelf is an invention with compartments and partitions where books and files are packed in offices, libraries and even homes. A bookshelf can be wooden, metallic or even glassed. They could also be dismountable metallic and in dismountable. In our project, we decide to design and fabricate an in dismountable metallic bookshelf. Certain factors were considered before embarking on this project.
An in dismountable metallic bookshelf, have a longer life span and serves its purpose better than a wooden bookshelf. Also lose of parts of many dismountable bookshelf held us into opting for the one with its pant in tact.
Nevertheless, the need for preservation of books to enhance researches and studies purpose has brought about the construction of bookshelves for offices, libraries and homes. Thus, these protects the books from been easily destroyed by ants, rats, and from children. And it also enhances systematic arrangement of books for easy reference of location.
