    Study Notes

    Architectural Millwork

    • Communication happens between the architect and millwork company.
    • More information is usually exchanged before the estimating phase.
    • Design is set before the estimating phase.
    • AWMAC (Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada) is a relevant association.

    Residential Millwork

    • Communication happens among the owner, designer, and millwork company.
    • Design can change during the estimating phase.
    • Construction standards are more diverse compared to other types.
    • CKCA (Canadian Kitchen Cabinet Association) is a relevant association.

    Type of Communication

    RFI (Request for Information)

    • Gathers information not initially included in the construction contract scope.
    • Identifies missing specifications, e.g., hardware, appliances, finishes.
    • Clarifies project aspects.
    • Allows for necessary substitutions.

    IFA (Issue for Approval)

    • Documents or drawings need client, designer, and architect approval.
    • Drawings contain all required information.
    • RFIs might be asked for clarification.
    • Back-and-forth communication is possible.

    IFC (Issued for Construction)

    • Includes changes in pricing, options, and site measurements.
    • Drawings might reflect site measurements.
    • Reviews and returns IFA to maintain build schedules.
    • Drawings ensure accuracy for the millwork shop.
    • Budget changes are often the main reason for major design adjustments.

    Millwork Shop Drawings

    • Drawings are used as a build guide by the millwork company.
    • Design drawings form a specifications package containing all needed information.
    • Information missing from design drawing includes finishing schedules, hardware details, accurate appliance specifications, and adequate detail.

    Types of Saw Blades

    Rip Blade

    • Cuts along the wood grain.
    • Large teeth with sharply angled hooks and deep gullets.

    Crosscut Blade

    • Cuts across the wood grain.
    • Smaller teeth compared to rip blades.
    • Should not be used for ripping.
    • Alternate Tooth Bevel (ATB) types have varying tooth angles (neutral, negative, or smaller).

    Combination Blade

    • Used for both ripping and crosscutting.
    • Not as fast or efficient as rip or crosscut blades.
    • Teeth are grouped in sets of five.

    Triple Chip Tooth

    • Combination rip or crosscut blade.
    • Used in materials like MDF and particle board.
    • Flat-topped (rip) teeth in blade.

    Sheet Goods

    • Common sheet goods include plywood, MDF, particle board.
    • Less common options include cork, glass, insulation, and metal.

    Composition Boards

    • Sheet goods made from fibers, chips, or flakes.
    • Examples include MDF, particleboard, HDF/LDF, hardboard, OSB.

    MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)

    • Thickness ranges from 2.5mm to 50mm.
    • Common thicknesses include 6mm, 12mm, 19mm, and 25mm.

    Particle Board

    • Typical thicknesses range from 3/8" to 1 5/8".
    • Often used in cabinet cores.

    Plywood

    • Composed of three layers of wood veneers.
    • Wood veneer faces and a core layer.
    • The core can be wood veneer, composition board, solid wood, or a combination.
    • Veneer construction features face veneers, crossbanding, center ply, and back veneers.

    Classes of Plywood

    • Construction/Industrial (softwood ply): strength prioritised over appearance.
    • Hardwood/Decorative (hardwood ply): appearance prioritised over strength.

    Overlay Plywood

    • Used for signs, work surfaces, and concrete formwork..
    • Medium Density Overlay (MDO) is common, with high density overlay (HDO) featuring resilience.

    Veneer & Veneer Patterns

    • Thin sheets of solid wood cut from logs.
    • Includes box, reverse box, checker, diamond, and reverse diamond.
    • Matching includes slip, random, and pleasing.

    Veneer Cutting

    • Rotary cut: used by softwood veneer.
    • Flat cut: used by hardwood veneer.
    • Half-round cut: used to create curved veneers.
    • Other methods include quarter slicing and rift cutting.

    Plywood Face Matching

    • Plywood pieces are assembled into a flitch (sequence of stacked veneers).
    • Matching methods: book match (mirrored patterns), slip match (no flipping), random match (varying patterns), pleasing match (similar colours).

    Other Veneer Patterns

    • Different patterns for veneer like box, reverse box, checker, diamond, and reverse diamond.
    • Veneer assembly methods include stitching, taping, and edge gluing.

    Adhesives for Veneering

    • Hot pressing: Cross-linked PVA or Urea formaldehyde.
    • Cold pressing: Use of good wood glue (e.g., UF 109).

    Woodworking Joints

    • Purpose: Hold and support, add strength, and also for decorative purposes.
    • Types: Dowel, Biscuit, Dovetail, Dado, Finger, etc..

    Other Useful Joints

    • Examples include Cross Lap, Middle Lap, Miter, Scarf, Spline, and Finger Joint.
