Design and Construction of Wooden Furniture

Design and Construction of Wooden Furniture

“Helo! We have reached the end of the course. I shared with you my techniques on how to create and build a chair. I hope you learned a little more about woodworking and understood the techniques we use. Remember that in carpentry there are several ways to achieve the same result. In this course, I tried to diversify the techniques at each stage so that you could learn as many techniques as possible. If you had the first contact with some tools in this course, be patient and understand that it is necessary to practice making trials and making mistakes, as only then will you master the handling. You will find that your next projects will come out much better. So don't give up and keep practicing! Here are some tips to reinforce what we saw during the course: • Do your research and seek their references to create your inspirational repertoire! • Always keep in mind the importance of ergonomics: designing furniture correctly to meet the needs of the human body is essential for a good user experience. • Observe how other furniture was structured through fittings, thickness and length of the pieces. • Try to study and research the properties of each wood. • It is extremely important to follow the safety protocols for each tool and process, in addition to the use of PPE equipment. • Always carry out dry tests before gluing, so that you can check for any errors and correct them. • It is important to always respect the glueing time, depending on the type of glue being used, and also clean the excess glue that remains on the pieces before drying. • Remember: with a well done marking, the pieces will fit together perfectly. • Pay attention to the instructions for each type of finish, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. And the greatest advice I can give you regarding these steps is to practice and study the techniques, as this is the only way to reach the desired level of perfection.

From now on, I hope you can improve your knowledge and create different products. Using the same techniques it is possible to create many other pieces of furniture. You don't need to use all the techniques we learned in the same product, there are those that can be reduced to one or several techniques. Share your final project and participate in the forum! I will be very happy to see what you have produced. As you share your final project, please also tell us the biggest challenges you encountered during this process. Also publish your work on social networks using the hashtag #oficiolenhodomestika. It was amazing to be a part of this journey with you. Hug.”
