RESIN POURED MOSQUITO COIL HOLDER

Resin is gaining popularity because of its ability to stick to most surfaces, people usually uses Resin with Timber wood, Resin could also be mould into many different shapes such as a table, chair, and many other furniture.

Design brief

My task is to designs and produce a mosquito coil holder rather than just a functional piece of metal. I would like you to use a Thai hardwood timber and combine this with coloured resin that I mix, create, pour, cut and file to shape. We would also like you to cut and shape the combined timber and resin 'block' to make the design into something creative and interesting to look at. As a 'by product' when you cut out the middle section of your work you can then use this to 'encase' a brass split pin into it and use this by product piece horizontally as a second mosquito coil holder product.


IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEM

Mosquito holder usually look like a flat peice of metal that holds the coil up horizontally, However this design is ineffective because a small amount of wind could knock the coil over, leaves ashes , and could also rust outdoor.
