Joinery: features of material selection, tools and production technology

Joinery has always been and will be popular among consumers. The fact is that wood is used in almost all construction and finishing works. In addition, furniture and other household items are made from it.

Advantages and scope of products

So, carpentry products are used almost everywhere: for the construction of houses and industrial enterprises, for decorating rooms, making jewelry. In addition, wooden furniture is popular.

Among the advantages of the presented products are:

- ecological purity and naturalness;

- high strength;

- The tree can be quickly restored and repaired; In addition, any pattern can be cut out of this material;

- durability;

- the ability to use products in any room, regardless of the style of interior decoration.

Product classification

Before you begin to work, you need to understand what kinds of joinery products are. There are several classifications of similar items. For example, in terms of the number of elements used, single-brusk and multi-brusk products can be distinguished. The first group includes those items that are cut from a single piece of wood (skirting boards, platbands, window sills). Multi-brusque items consist of several elements: furniture, oars, boxes for doors and windows.

By the way of processing it is possible to distinguish such types of products:

- calibrated;

- milling;

- sawn.

Features of the choice of material for work

Joinery can be made of different materials. Fir, spruce and pine are most often used. Their feature is that they have a low level of humidity (only 12%). This property will make it possible to build very strong and durable products.

The most expensive types of wood for carpentry are beech, oak, and also exotic wood. They are distinguished by increased hardness, strength and resistance to the influence of external negative factors.

During the selection of the material, it is necessary to pay attention to its specific qualities:

- smoothness and evenness;

- the absence of rotten places, flaws, large knots.

In principle, any unnecessary or damaged places can be cut.

What tools are needed to work?

Before making any joinery, it is necessary to collect all necessary machines and other items that serve to process the material. So, for work you will need such tools:

- Knives, cutters and chisels. They are used for decorative carving (if you decorate the product).

- Planer (for leveling the surface of the material, as well as deburring).

- Sandpaper (with its help wood is ground).

- Engraver and drill, which are used to apply various drawings.

In addition, you will definitely need electrical machines. For example, carpentry products are produced using a workbench on which the appropriate equipment is installed: a manual milling cutter, a circular saw (with circles of different diameters), a grinding machine (disc or drum).

To assemble the elements you will have to use an electric drill, a jig saw, a screwdriver.

Features of the manufacture of objects

In order to make joinery yourself, you need to know the sequence of actions. So, the whole work consists of such stages:

- Finding or making a drawing. This is necessary in order not to make mistakes in the preparation of all the necessary elements. In addition, the drawing will allow you to see what the final result should be. Thanks to the drawing, you will not make mistakes in the size of the future subject.

- Preparation of raw materials. Before starting work, the selected material must be prepared. For this, minor defects must be eliminated.

- Preparation of the elements of the product. At this stage, you must cut, cut, or cut out the necessary components, which will subsequently be assembled into a single structure. Naturally, large parts are first produced. In the last turn, small parts are cut out.

- Grinding of finished parts. This procedure is performed so that all edges or areas that will be inaccessible in a holistic construction have been processed in advance.

- Assembling the product. Now with the help of glue, screws or other fasteners, you can connect all the elements.

- Final grinding and decoration of the finished product. Now you can start finishing the structure. To do this, once again polish all the surfaces. Further, the wood should be covered with antiseptic, which will protect it from various negative influences. Lastly, the product is painted or varnished.

Naturally, you can decorate your design with carving or painting. In principle, the manufacture of carpentry requires only time and patience. In this case, you yourself can decorate your house and make it cozy.
