The problem is that the Chinese people didn't have enough  knowledge of the Canadian Maple Syrup. At China or my home country, people use honey more than Maple Syrup because bee is easier to have honey than Maple Tree having Maple Syrup. So it's cheaper so then the Maple Syrup Markets have a bad time in China.

Name of the Connection
Screw Joint
What material did the joint use?
Steel (Screws), Plastic (Seat), Wood (Leg)
How is it connected?
4 Steel Screws
Why did it use that material to
connect it?
Hard (Not easy to break)
Why is it there?
The screws are not connected straight to the chairs because there is no kind of screw that is that short to connect to the plastic seat and doesn't hurt you. So they decide to and 4 small screw holes so the screws won't connect straight with the seat and hurt you.
Things that I will use
I will keep the screws like that when I'm adding the plate under to the seat.
Things that I will change
I will change the three legged chair into a four legged chair since it is stronger

# data[].attributes.body
From my primary research that I did by surveying my neighbor, I found out that 9 out of 10 people don't know what is Maple Syrup. Maple syrup is better than honey and sugar because honey is produced by bee and there is some unknown sterol substance in it that might be harmful to people that are sick. Another reason is that the minerals Maple syrup have, for example, calcium, have 40 times the amount that honey have. The last thing is that maple syrup has the less calorie than honey, so it would be better for people now (https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/428885109.html).

Design Goal
To design a chair by drawing on our sketch book. To make a chair, I will need to make wood joint together in a stable way. In my Secondary Research, the internet suggest 8 ways to connect them. The first suggestion is to use Doweled Butt Joint. Also my research told me that the four leg chair is more stable because the force pushed down by gravity on each leg is divided evenly. So the four legged chair has less pressure on each leg. A round shaped seat will be too hard and not comfortable to sit on so I will not use a round shaped seat.
Target Market
The chair product will be designed with China citizens in mind so I might put a little China's flag on it representing it is made in China. My research (survey) told me that in 20 people 16 people don't know what is a maple syrup. When creating the product I will need to put a SSIS logo on it because it was made in SSIS. Also I need to consider what famous logo of Maple Syrup should I put. I have ideas like putting a maple leaf of the back of the seat or putting maple leaf on the front side in a slope.
Major Constraints
The difficult might be connecting three piece of wood in an angle because I'm creating the back. Also I will need to consider how stable the chair will be if I craft it in a particular shape. The materials available and I need are wood, screws and paint. The problem I face told by the research is the joints, they can be extremely hard to make because of the limitation of my hand to cut wood into particular shape.
Success Criteria
The product shows success when people pay attention to it and ask why the chair it like that or what does it relate to? My primary research told me that the target must be comfortable to sit on it to be a successful product. My secondary research told me that it must be safer (stable) than other chair to be a success product.

Name of the Connection
Leg housing
What material did the joint use?
Wood, screw
How is it connected?
By screws and install the screw hole in the leg wood to stable it
Why did it use that material to connect it?
Cost less, hard (to break)
Why is it there?
It is because the need of a place to put your feet down when you are too short the hardest and look the best way to design it is like that. So the place where you put your feet connects both the upper part of the leg and bottom part of the leg with metal.
The thing that I will use
The thing that I will use from that design is that the way to use the foot settle part of connect the chair
The thing that I will change
The thing that I will change is the shape of the foot settle part. I might change it to rectangle because of how my chair is design with a rectangle shape seat.

Name of the Connection
Barefaced Mortise and Tenon
What material did the joint use?
Wood
How is it connected?
By wood and using a hammer to push it in
Why did it use that material to connect it?
Cheap, hard to loss
Why is it there?
It is because that for a wood make for leg chair you don't expect it be be unique. So this type of connection is very commonly used. I would probably make the stick in the same height level very more better looking.

In my research of A2, it stated that a four leg chair is more stable than a three leg chair because the weight is more evenly distributed. So I didn't use the third design. Also my one of my primary research stated that the most suitable chair for Chinese people always have an arm rest so that leads me to only one design left. In my A3 research, I found out that steel is the most stable joint to connect two piece of wood together unless the wood is too fragile. This design will mostly use metal screws and joints to connect two piece of wood together, but some of the connection must be glue because you don't want to sit on a chair with screws pointing out on the seat. It wouldn't meet two of my specification which is shape (Syrup jug) and joint (Wood with high skills). It would be too easy to break if all the joints are made from high skill wood. This chair the hard point is the joints but the other parts are very easy because most of it is made from either plank of maple wood or stick from maple wood.

The material I've used is changed because I wanted to use maple wood at first but I can't order things before the time of make our chair start and if I order it now, it would still take a few days to get here.

# data[].attributes.body
I've changed a little of my design because of an error that I have made. I have a choice of making the chair comfortable and not be able to sit on and make the chair uncomfortable and be able to sit on. I chose the first one.

# data[].attributes.body
The first testing method will test the look of it. A chair sold to a customer should be designed to be able to look at it without the customer saying the design is ugly. So a good looking chair is important. But since we are not a prefect wood worker, the expectations are not high. The look will be about if it's balanced or not.

Evidence
Lok Ching: I think the chair has a nice design, it looks nice, but I can't sit on it
Lucas: I like the chair, the back and the hand thingy look good
Tony: It doesn't have a leg, but it looks good
Harold: The chair is made good because the chair connections are very hard. I can't sit, the place where you sit is too small
Keisho: I like your design, but it is too small

# data[].attributes.body
The second testing method will be a weight test. The chair will need to support a weight of at less 80kg because that is a height of a health adult. If the test doesn't succeed, then the chair design will be a failure.

Evidence
I failed this test because my chair doesn't have legs on. The chair should be able to hold a weight of 80kg for the average amount of weight for an adult.

# data[].attributes.body
The third test will be a tilt test. While sitting on a chair, there will be a great chance of people tilting back because of comfort. But when we tilt back there is a great chance that you will hurt your self and your head. So there is an importance of when you lose control while tilting back, the chair will be need to be able to tilt back it self our else it would hurt the target audience.

Evidence

# data[].attributes.body
The fourth testing method is an impact test. When ever a person's in a rush, they would probably forget the surrounds around him/her. That will cause the chair to break when it is too fragile. So an impact test will make sure that the chair won't be broken down just by accidentally falling on the chair.

Evidence

Joint: Screws or wood joint with glue

The first evidence is an easy wood joint by creating a groove using the chisel and mallet. It will work better with wood glue.

# data[].attributes.body
The improvement on my chair would be that I need to make the chair sit-able by making the chair 50cm x 50cm on the base and by making the chair taller by adding 4 to 5 leg of 20 cm. I wouldn't change the plan from C4 or B1, but I need to change my mind. I need to learn not to be easily persuaded by other people's opinion. My plan would have work if I stick to my plan. But now the chair has a small seat and no G9 students can sit on.

Target Audience 1: I think the chair look nice, but the back is not stable.  I'm not sure what cultural is this, but I'm guessing "King's Seat"?Target Audience 2: You said it's a chair but it doesn't have legs? Also you can't sit on it, though it is attractive because of how it looks.

# data[].attributes.body
I did achieve some of the goals in A4. For example the chair is stable on it's 'leg', the chair also is attractive because of how it looks.
The things I didn't achieve are putting China flag to make it a bit more appropriate for Chinese citizens, a four leg chair, logo of maple syrup, stable back, and sit-able. I didn't solve the problem because of the shape of the chair isn't recognizable for my target audiences.

The thing that I will use
I might use the connection between the back of the chair and the base of the chair. It is because back of the chair is the second easiest thing to break on a wooden chair from my experience. However, this chair have a strong back so I will use the connection,

1. Collect all the wood from large board of plywood
2. Cut the wood in the correct shapes and size that I want (Picture above)
3. Connect the chair base's wood by using dowel joints (Also be careful for the placement of the wood)
4. After glued, cut out rectangle 4 holes that would fit a 3x3 cm wood stick
5. By using both glue and the joint, glue the 3x3 cm wood in these holes
6. Connect the 45x2 cm rectangle piece of wood with the 3x3 cm wood by using dowels on each one
7. Cut out some rectangle holes on the back of the chair
8. Use 2 4x4 cm wood to place in front of the holes and make sure that the this 2 wood didn't stick out of the base
9. Place the back into the holes
10. Use dowels on the back of the back to connect with the 2 4x4 cm wood
10. Connect the 4 legs of the chair by cutting holes out and using glue to stick them in
