Purple Mountain Designs Processing techniques

Purple Mountain Designs The basis of the processing technique can be reduced to the assembly of four pieces of wood, that is the realization of a frame and the filling of its interior with worked panels; this is, despite countless variations, the basis of the construction of any carpentry object. In fact, all the frames are paneled on the external and internal fixtures, as indeed are the furniture at least before the advent of semi-finished materials which will be discussed later.

Purple Mountain Designs Material used

Purple Mountain Designs,Solid wood, in the countless essences that nature offers, has been the main material of carpentry for centuries. For several decades, however, with the advent of new technologies, it has been possible to replace solid wood with more practical and cheaper semi-finished products. Wood agglomerate panels are produced and used, such as plywood, chipboard, blockboard, laminated wood, MDF, Osbaldo other. However, the use of solid wood remains the most considered product for the craftsman carpenter. In the production of fixtures and in any case external products speaking of carpentry, we necessarily speak of solid wood or laminated wood, whether the product is artisanal or industrial. The production of furniture and furnishings in general instead has now turned to the use of the semi-finished products already described, thus developing a craftsmanship parallel to the classic carpentry. Over time, real furniture industries were born, mainly oriented towards modern furniture. This type of production, also made up of small entrepreneurs with few employees, does not use the classic carpenter's tools but computerized automatic machines,

Specialized carpenters

In industrialized countries, carpenters can still be found with a very specific market niche in the construction of made-to-measure furniture: home furnishings, shop and window furnishings, theatrical or stage furnishings; these artisans, also called "custom-made carpenters", Purple Mountain Designs , use both hand tools and small electric tools. It is a market segment that can be defined as the "hard core" of the modern carpenter trade and which proposes, at times exclusively, to work only real wood and solid wood, perhaps in a cheaper version such as veneered or plated (always wood of fiber and solid wood). The colors proposed by these last artisans are almost always hand-made and in an excellent way.

Joinery workshop

In a carpentry workshop, the presence of at least one wooden carpenter's bench , equipped with the appropriate vices and various manual tools (hammers, saws, pincers, planers, spandrels, series of chisels and screwdrivers, etc.) is a must ; these objects, however, are losing their primary function, making room for new equipment that is more in keeping with the type of work that a carpenter now does. In the modern carpentry workshop, in fact, the indispensable machine tools in every process are the master. The most used machines are: the miter saw, the band saw , the circular saw , the planer (flush and thick), the spindle molder(milling machine), as well as small tools for sanding, finishing and assembly (orbitals, drills, screwdrivers, clamps of various lengths, nailing machines, etc.); in small laboratories or at hobby level circular saw, planes and spindle molders can be replaced with a particular machine tool called combined because alone, it allows performing the three processes: cutting, planning and milling . To perform jointed tenon and mortise is employed molder equipped with a trolley or simply the circular saw but are of great help, however, and increasingly widespread: the chisel mortising machine is increasingly present and mortiser chain while for smoothing the belt sander.
