RAW MATERIALS

Materials for furniture can be divided into few categories ;

Raw material

s

wood

Non wood

Non wood forest

resources

1.Wood-solid wood -wood composite(plywood, LVL,

OSB)

2.Non wood forest resources (rattan, bamboo)

3.Non wood (plastic, metals, aluminium, marble, stone and thermoplastic)

1.SOLID WOOD Totally from sawn timber.

Types of sawn timber -heavy hardwood(750-1000kg/m³) -medium hardwood(650-750kg/m³) -light hardwood(400-650kg/m³) -softwood

2.WOOD COMPOSITE Made up from engineered wood product

Examples; MDF, OSB, Plywood, Particleboard, WPC

Propose using wood composite:-minimize the used of solid wood -prices is cheaper than solid wood-utilize the usage of residue-minimize the production cost

4.NON WOOD(PLASTIC) 1)thermosetting-cured by chemical reaction through

catalyst/ heat at time of application-cannot reversed into its original state-eg:PF, MF, UF 2)thermoplastic -normally supplied ready to used-can change back to its original form by

heat-eg: PVA, PVC, PU, Vinyl

3)plastic laminates @decorative board -consist of two different types of plastic

and three types of paper.

4)metals-there are two categories :100%metals

and metal+other materials-uses for formation of furniture part:arm,

chair, legs

ADVANTAGES OF NON WOOD(PLASTIC)

Dimensional stable No defect from pets and insect Can be used outdoor and indoor No treatment cheap

TOOLa) Stationary machine

Static tool in making part of furniture

Example:

1. Band saw

2. Rip saw

3. Table saw

4. Sander machine

b)Hand toolCan be handle and remove by hand1) Hammer2) Driller3) Hand sander4) Hand saw5) Measuring tape

PROCESSING

RIPPING

•cutting parallel with the grain.•a rip saw works more like a chisel, lifting off small splinters of wood.•Rip cuts are commonly made with a table saw, hand rip saws, radial arm saws and band saws.

EXAMPLE

CROSS CUTTING• Cutting perpendicular with the grain of

wood.• use table saw for crosscutting• Unlike ripping cut, which not shears the

wood fibers and also not lifting off small splinters of wood.

EXAMPLE

PLANNING• used to produce horizontal, vertical, or

inclined flat surfaces.• Also to flatten, reduce the thickness and

impart a smooth surface to a rough piece of wood.

EXAMPLE

BORING Boring or drilling is make a hole in a

piece of wood. use a drill bit to make hole to put screw,

dowel, bolt and nut When possible drilled holes should be

located perpendicular to the workpiece surface. This minimizes the drill bit's tendency to "walk"

EXAMPLE

TURNING used to create wooden objects on a

lathe(pelarik). the wood is moving while a stationary

tool is used to cut and shape it. To make shapes and design.

EXAMPLE

SHAPING To make design and shape to the component

of furniture It will give high quality and aesthetic value to

the furniture As example like antic furniture

EXAMPLE

SANDING used to remove small amounts of

material from surfaces to make them smoother –for

painting and wood finishing to remove a layer of material –for old

paint to make the surface rougher –for

preparation to gluing By using sand paper, sanding machine

EXAMPLE

FINISHING Purpose of finishing

- To keep dirt out of wood- To prevent degrade of wood surface as result of abrasion and heat- To produce visual and tactile qualities- To bring colour into wood- To show down the moisture exchange

with air

CONT.. Finishing Components

- Pigments –finely ground solid- Binder- depends on type of the base- Solvent and thinners-depends on the type of base- Additive -depends on the type of base- Special features-water repellent,

moisture resistance, etc.

FINISHING PROCEDURS Bleaching Free staining Figure Accent Body stain Strike Out Penetrating Sealer Washcoat Filler Shading on filler Sealing Padding on sealer Enamel Spattering Top coat / lecquer Rubbing or Polishing

TYPE OF FINISHING Shellac Sealer Lacquer Varnish Strains

METHOD OF APPLICATION Brushing Spraying Dipping or soaking Roller coating Curtain coating

FINISHING Finishing is the critical as it can

determine the marketability of the product.

Finishing is done to:- protection- Enhance and emphasize the beauty (Aesthetic)- Good finishing mean higher costs

(Valuable)

ASSEMBLY & PACKAGING Finished wood or furniture components

may or may not be assemble before it is packed.

Normally in this section, all parts produced by the machining and the sanding section are assembled (put together).

The parts are glued, screwed, bolted, nailed or stapled together to make the complete furniture.

MAIN FEATURES IN THE ASSEMBLY DEPARTMENT Manufacturing pace changes

-Eg. In machining section- 4 weeks to complete 15 machine operation- Eg. In assembly section-only one hour to built on item

Volume or space changes- Eg. Part can be stacked and arranged to fill up almost all spaces.- once parts are assembled it will need more space than was need for the parts that go into it.

- This is use the advantages by knock-down furniture.- Reduce shipping space- Reduce damage
