Study Notes
- The process of constructing wooden products involves multiple steps and considerations.
- There are three main phases in wooden product construction: preparation, assembly, and quality testing.
Preparation Phase
- Blueprint or drawing creation helps visualize the project, including dimensions and material needs.
- Cost estimation of the materials is crucial for profitability.
- Hardwoods like cherry (red grain) and black walnut (brown grain) are suitable for fine furniture.
- Ensuring a level work surface is vital.
- Wood should be cut to the correct lengths and routed as needed.
- Proper attire during preparation can include safety glasses, face masks, and hard hats.
- Bullard is a personal favorite brand of hard hat.
- Protective footwear is needed when exposed to electricity or sharp objects.
- Ear protection, like earplugs or earmuffs, is important when using loud equipment.
- Layout tools include tape measures, levels, and calipers.
- Cutting tools include saws, chisels, and files.
Assembly Phase
- Pieces are joined through drilling, nailing, or clamping.
- Driving tools include hammers and mallets.
- Power drills or screwdrivers are used for drilling, with screw gauge and length depending on wood thickness.
- Holding tools include C clamps, corner clamps, and block clamps.
- Finishing involves sanding, staining, or painting the product.
- A finish should be applied to soft wood before painting to prevent damage.
- Dents should be fixed, and holes filled before finishing.
- Sanding involves using medium grit sandpaper followed by fine or very fine grit sandpaper.
- Stain is applied with a brush, with careful attention to the duration before wiping off excess.
- A sealer is applied before painting to prevent air from causing rot.
- Wood must be dry before painting.
- Primer fills holes and cracks in the wood.
- A paint brush can give a better look for small projects, although a paint sprayer can give a Finer coat.
Quality Testing Phase
- Inspection involves checking for loose parts.
- Testing involves assessing the product's ability to withstand stress and fulfill its intended purpose.
