Chapter One Introduction To Cabinetmaking Pg 13-21

Objectives ► Identify the Needs and wants of cabinets in everyday life ► Discuss the importance of function and form ► Explain the decision making process ► Describe the process of production and management technology

Design Decisions ► Read the first section as a class ► Function and Form  Conclusions made about the product design before work begins  All design Decisions are made from Function and Form  Function – Reason we have the piece of furniture READ  Form – Appearance of the Cabinet (Chapter 2) ► Design Idea  CAD, Sketched ► Design Variables  Childs chair, or adults Chair

Design Decisions ► Design Standards  Many types of cabinets are designed to standard Dims.  Kitchen Cabinets are 3” Factory, or Simi-factory  Metric system more accurate, used every where else. Holes are drilled 32 mm apart and 37 mm from the edge

► For wall or upper cabinets, the height is 30 inches or 42 inches and the depth is 12 inches. ►

Design Decisions ► Additional Concepts  RTA – ready to assemble cabinets  RTA Project – Research Project ► History, - Where, How, and Why ► What lessons have been learned about RTA ► Advantages and Disadvantages of RTA 3 of Each ► Where can you buy RTA ► How much does a Bedroom set made out of RTA Cost, ► How much would an office set cost made out RTA ► Your Thoughts on RTA Furniture ► Cite your References ► STOP ► MDF PROJECT IF Needed

Material Decisions ► Lumber  Softwood Cone bearing Trees, used in Construction material  Hard wood – Leaf bearing trees, usually used for making cabinets and furniture ► Veneer  Sheet of thinly sliced hardwood or softwood used to cover poor quality lumber  Good for inlaying of overlaying decorative designs  Also good for Exotic Lumber, know being used in expensive pieces of furniture ► MDF Medium Density Fiberboard  RTA Products, Kitchen Cabinets, Vanity,  Covered with plastic laminate, or veneer or hardwood

Material Decisions ► Plastic laminates, Ceramics, Glass  Tile very popular  Granite  Countertops and Edges  Plastic laminates can look like wood,

Production Decisions ► Production Decisions  Making any product become reality ► Material Decisions  A piece of furniture with curves or class doors is harder to make than a square cabinet with wood doors ► Tools  Read the Section ► Tooling  Router bits, shaper cutters, drill bits

Production Decisions ► Process  Separating – Cutting or removing material. Cutting stock, sanding, turning, etc.  Numerically Controlled (NC) – Laser engraver or CNC Routers, lathes,  Forming – Includes all operations where material is bent or formed. Hand rail,  Combining – Gluing,

Producing Cabinetry ► Preprocessing  All activities before building the product  Design Stage, mock-up or prototype if mass producing ► Processing –  cutting standard stock to finishing the product  Holes are drilled of needed for fasteners  Assembled, clued  Finishing is applied ► Post processing  Transporting Installing and maintaining products

Managing Work ► Planning  Establishing goals and deciding how they will be accomplished. ► Organizing for efficiency and safety  Right Info  Right Material  Right Place  Right time ► Directing daily activities  supervisors in industry make sure planned and organized task are performed. Make a schedule ► Controlling quality  Quality – how well the product meets the requirements and expectations ► Quality and Productivity ► SUMMARY
