**Product Operation and
Limitations:**

Bradawl The Blockhead toy, with its

Bench hook
charming design and added
acrylic hat, offers an
engaging and imaginative play experience for children. Users can manipulate the attached strings to move the toy's arms and legs, fostering creative storytelling and role-playing scenarios.

The acrylic hat adds a touch of whimsy to the Blockhead toy, enhancing its visual appeal and allowing for additional customization options. Children can experiment with different looks and styles for their Blockhead characters,
stimulating their creativity and self-expression.

However, it's essential to consider some limitations of the product:

1. **Durability**: While the Blockhead toy is crafted from sturdy materials, including hardwood blocks and acrylic hat, it may not withstand rough handling or excessive force. Care should be taken to avoid dropping or banging the toy
to prevent damage.

2. **Age Appropriateness**: Due to small components and strings, the Blockhead toy may not be suitable for very young children who are prone to putting objects in their mouths. Adult supervision is recommended during playtime to
ensure safe use.

3. **Storage and Maintenance**: Proper storage and maintenance are necessary to prolong the lifespan of the Blockhead toy. Avoid exposing it to moisture or extreme temperatures, which could cause warping or degradation of
materials. Regular inspection for wear and tear is advised, with any damaged components promptly repaired or replaced.

4. **Limited Functionality**: While the Blockhead toy encourages imaginative play and storytelling, its functionality is somewhat limited compared to electronic or interactive toys. It relies on manual manipulation of strings for
movement, which may not provide the same level of engagement for all children.

**Quality Control Measures:**

 Dimensional Accuracy:
o Ensure all wooden blocks, components, and the acrylic hat meet specified dimensions through precise measurement tools.
o Reject any materials that do not conform to the required size criteria.

 Smooth Finish:
o Sand all wooden block edges, components, and the acrylic hat to ensure a smooth surface, eliminating any rough patches.
o Perform visual and tactile inspections to detect and rectify any imperfections.

 Secure Attachment:
o Confirm secure attachment of the acrylic hat to the Blockhead toy's head using appropriate adhesives, ensuring it remains firmly in place.
o Conduct a pull test to verify the hat's resistance to detachment during normal handling.

 String Strength:
o Test the strength of strings used for arms and legs, ensuring they withstand manipulation without breaking or fraying.
o Evaluate the durability of the strings to endure repeated play.

 Safety Compliance:
o Ensure the acrylic material used for the hat complies with safety regulations for toy production, free from harmful substances.
o Conduct inspections to ensure the hat does not present any choking hazards or sharp edges.

 Functional and Visual Testing:

o Perform functional tests to ensure the Blockhead toy's arms and legs move freely and the hat remains securely attached.
o Conduct visual inspections to identify any defects or inconsistencies in appearance, addressing them before packaging.

 Packaging Inspection:
o Inspect the packaging to ensure it adequately protects the Blockhead toy and hat during transportation and storage.
o Verify all labeling and instructional materials are included accurately.

Here's a list detailing the use of each material and tool in the manufacturing process of the Blockhead toy:

1. **Steel Rule**: Used for measuring and marking precise dimensions on wooden blocks, strings, and other components to ensure accuracy during cutting and assembly.

2. **Pillar Drill**: Utilized for drilling holes in wooden blocks to create openings for the eyes and ears of the Blockhead toy. Ensures consistent and precise hole placement.

3. **Screwdriver**: Used for attaching components such as the sawed-on mouth, drilled-on eyes, and ears securely to the wooden blocks. Helps in tightening screws or fasteners.

4. **Try Square**: Employed for checking the accuracy of angles and ensuring the wooden blocks are cut and assembled perfectly square. Helps maintain the symmetry and balance of the toy.

5. **Abrasive Paper (80, 150, 240 Grit)**: Used for sanding and smoothing the edges and surfaces of the wooden blocks, components, and acrylic hat. Progressively finer grits ensure a smooth and polished finish.

6. **Scissors**: Used for cutting strings to the required length for the arms and legs of the Blockhead toy. Ensures uniformity and precision in string length.

7. **Tenon Saw**: Utilized for cutting wooden blocks to the desired dimensions for the mouth component and main body of the toy. Provides clean and straight cuts with its fine-toothed blade.

8. **Line Bender**: Used for shaping and bending the strings to create the arms and legs of the Blockhead toy. Ensures uniform curvature and flexibility in the strings for manipulation.

9. **Hot Glue**: Applied for securely attaching components such as the acrylic hat and wooden features (mouth, eyes, ears) to the main body of the Blockhead toy. Provides a strong and durable bond.

10. **Bench Hook**: Utilized as a support and guide for sawing wooden blocks with the tenon saw, ensuring stability and accuracy in cutting. Prevents slippage and maintains safety during the cutting process.

11. **Bradawl**: Used for marking and creating starter holes in wooden blocks before drilling with the pillar drill. Helps prevent splitting and ensures precise hole placement.
