Ch.17 Architectural woodwork Flashcards
Custom, shop fabricated millwork built primarily of lumber and used for interior finish construction and specialty furnishings. It includes cabinetry, paneling, custom doors and frames, shelving, custom furniture, and special interior trim.
Architectural wood work
Wood work completed on the job site
Finish carpentry
What are the three grades of millwork
Premium, custom, and economy
That’s great of Newark is the highest level of quality in materials, workmanship, and installation. It is usually reserved for special projects of special features within a project
Premium grade
This grade of millwork is the most common grade and still produces a higher quality job
Custom
This grade of nowhere defines the minimum level of quality, materials, and workmanship.
Economy
Consist of pre-fabricated cabinets that are selected from a manufacturer standard product line. It is commonly used in residential kitchens and baths, laboratories, schools, and other areas where quality cabinets are required but custom construction it’s not required
Modular case work
Refers to timber from Evergreen trees, such as Pine and fir.
Softwood
Refers to timber from deciduous trees such as oak and maple
Hardwood
A piece of lumber generally 1/2 inch or thicker used alone to form some woodwork component.
Solid stock
Send piece of wood usually less than 1/16 inch thick sliced from a log and glued to a backing of particleboard or firewood, normally 3/4 inch thick
Veneer
Makes the most efficient use of the log and is the least expensive of the three methods. Because the word is cut with various orientations to the grain of the tree, this results in a finished surface with the characteristic cathedral pattern
Plain sawn 
Produced by cutting the log into quarters and then sewing perpendicular to the diameter line. Because the saw is nearly perpendicular to the grain, the resulting green pattern is more uniformlyvertical
Quarter sawn
Provides an even more consistent vertical brain because the saw cuts are always made radiology to the center of the tree. Because the log must be shifted after each cut and because there’s much waste, this time is more expensive than quarters sewing and is seldom done.
Rift sawn
Accomplished in the same way as they are when cutting solid stock, except the resulting pieces are much thinner.
Plane slicing and quarter slicing for veneers
This type of slicing of wood veneer is produces more straight grain pattern then slicing clean because the cutting knife strikes the growth rings at approximately a 90 degree angle
Quarter slicing
This type of veneer slicing, the log is mounted on a lathe and returned against a knife, which peeled off the continuous layer of veneer. This produces a very pronounced grain pattern that is often undesirable in fine quality wood finishes, although it does produce the most Venere with the least waste
Rotary slicing
Quarter sawing
Rift sawing
Plain sawing 
Similar to Rotary slicing, but the log is cut in half, and the venue is cut slightly across the annual growth rings. This results in a pronounced green pattern showing characteristics of both rotary sliced and plain sliced veneers
Half round slicing
This type of slicing of wood veneers is accomplished by quartering a log and cutting at a 15° angle to the growth rings. Like quarter slicing, it results in a straight grain pattern and is commonly used with oak to illuminate the appearance of markings perpendicular to the direction of the grain. These markings in oak are caused by medullary rays, which are radial cells extending from the tree center to its circumference
Rift slicing
Individual veneers that come from the same piece of log
Flitch 
Rotary slicing
Half round slicing
Rift slicing
Plain slicing
Quarter slicing
Half lap
Finger joint
Rabbet

Dado
Dovetail Dado
Miter
Shoulder miter
Splinter miter
Most commercial base cabinets are constructed with ___ thick product
3/4 inch
How thick is the back of a base cabinet typically in commercial construction
1/4 inch
An oversized piece of plastic laminate or a word that can be trimmed in the field to follow any minor irregularities of the wall
Scribe
Other than using a scribe what is another way that countertops can be installed
A template can be created from thin hardboard or cardboard after the base cabinets have been placed this template and then take him back to the shop and used to precisely cut the countertop, including any out of square conditions, Wall irregularities, or odd shapes
A. Backsplash -scribe top edge to match wall
B.  countertop
C. 1 1/2 inch
D. Drawer
E. Handle
F. Door
G. Base
H.  cabinet frame
I. adjustable or fixed shelves
J. 36 inch
A. Scribe top edge of ceiling
B. Ceiling or dropped soffit
C. Spacer as required
D. Handle
E. Light fixture optional provide front lip to cabinet or extend door
F. Scribe
G. Blocking in metal stud cavity
How are upper cabinets attached to the wall in residential construction
It is attached to the wall by screwing through the cabinet back in wall finish into the wood studs
How are upper cabinets attached to the wall in commercial construction
We are metal studs are used, wood blocking is required in the stud cavity behind the wall finish. This blocking is installed as the studs are being erected and is attached to them with screws. The blocking provides a solid base for attaching the cabinets to the wall
What are the four basic categories of door and drawer front construction
Flush, flush overlay, reveal overlay, and lipped overlay
In this type of construction, the face of the drawer or door is installed flush with the face frame. Extra care and expense are required to fit in a while and the doors and drawers within the frame. In many cases, the doors and drawers me SAG, resulting in nonuniform spacing between fronts and causing some doors and drawers to find against the frame.
Flush construction
A variation of flesh construction is this type of construction. In this version, part of the door or drawer overlaps the frame and covers the joint between the two pieces 
Lipped overlay 
In this type of construction, the front of the door or drawer overlaps the face frame of the cabinet. Edges of the adjacent door or drawer fronts are separated only enough to allow operation without touching, usually about 1/8 inch or less. Only doors and drawers Are visible, and they are all flush with each other. Cabinets using this type of construction are often referred to as European cabinets
Flush overlay construction
In this type of cabinet construction, the edges of the adjacent drawer and door fronts are separated enough to reveal the face frame behind. The width of the review can be whatever the designer or manufacturer wants, subject to the width of the face frame. This construction is often less expensive than flush overlay construction because mine are misalignments in sagging are not as noticeable. This is the more traditional method of constructing cabinets
Reveal overlay construction
