Furniture design and manufacture

By Giles Ingram


Making Pine furniture is not only a job or business, it is a very artistic and creative thing to do. One has to think very carefully at each stage to make sure everything fits together. There are two types of furniture making. The first type of making, is the mass production items. These pieces are standard sizes, for example 1 metre x 1 metre chest of drawers, and 2 metre high wardrobes. These are always the popular sizes, and the cutting lists are fixed firmly in the brains of craftsmen. The other type of production is one off pieces or bespoke pieces of furniture.

One need not be an expert, to have a go at making furniture. It is quite a logical craft to perform, all the pieces that make up the finished article have to be cut accurately and be square. A novice if using the right tools and with a little practice can have a lot of fun, and make a good effort to produce something for personal use.

Furniture production on a much bigger scale, is extremely similar. constant rules ought to be followed. Machine tools ought to be terribly sharp,and professionally sharpened. The saw tables should be set sq., and also the sizes to be created,have to be checked. In larger firms, there'll be a machine setter, and a machine operator. In smaller firms the machinist can do each. in truth in larger firms, typically the furniture is outsourced, to stay prices down. it's not unknown for firms to shop for all part elements and use assemblers, to fit the items place along. this can be after all potential, as long collectively is creating normal items however when is creating custom created furniture it's unattainable to try and do this. as an example, A pine wardrobe is made of kit kind, however a custom wardrobe cannot. it's to be individually created.

The most important place to start is a clearly defined plan of what is being made. To drawer this plan one must have a really good idea, of construction methods, so one drawers what and how the item of furniture will be made.

The other consideration is the type of wood to be used. Hardwood makes excellent furniture, however hardwoods are more difficult to cut and shape, if one does not have machines. For the beginner and for advanced Pine furniture is easy to use and looks good when finished.

The choice of what to create, and the way to create are nice fun. a straightforward pine wardrobe becomes a custom made wardrobe when one makes it oneself,making and using ones own custom wardrobes, is sort of an achievement. it'll forever be a proud possession, a part of the family, and if thought out well, be ideal for all one's personal necessities. The set up is extended, in order that when one has finished , the primary piece, the second idea is planned. Imagine sleeping in a very bed that one has created oneself, watching a sleeping, that's additionally one's own design.
