Manufacture of woods Flashcards
What are the 2 categories of manufacturing woods
addition and fabrication processes, wasting processes
Addition and fabrication processes definition
traditional wood joints are not common - classed as addition, products are fabricated with joints or knock-down fittings
Butt joint AD/DIS
weak joint - not much mechanical strength, stuck together with glue/screw, end grain will show
Dowel joint AD/DIS
stuck together with dowels and glue, stronger than butt joint as more surface area, hard to line up the dowels and holes
Mitre joint AD/DIS
not much mechanical strength, no end-wood showing so more aesthetic, reliant on glue
Finger joint AD/DIS
stronger than butt joint - mechanical strength as more surface area, grain weakness, hard to do well - interference joint
Dovetail joint AD/DIS
aesthetically pleasing, hard to do well - needs to be accurate, grain weakness
Mortise and tenon joint AD/DIS
hidden joint, strong - mechanical strength, grain matters, hard to chisel correctly
Housing joint AD/DIS
mechanical strength as more surface area, no end-wood, could be slightly difficult
Half-lap joint AD/DIS
mechanical strength as more surface area, quite simple

2 forming processes of wood
laminating and steam bending
Name the different joints of woods
butt joint, dowel joint, mitre joint, finger joint, dovetail joint, mortise and tenon, housing joint, half lap
Forming process definition
changing the shape of the timber or manufactured board
Lamination definition
layering thin materials (usually veneers) with glue in-between, layers can be flat or bent
