DEFINITION OF CARPENTRY:

Carpentry is the name of the trade and the workshop or

place where both wood and its derivatives are worked,
and whoever exercises it is called a carpenter. Its
objective is to change the physical form of the raw
material to create objects useful for human development
such as home furniture, door frames, moldings, toys,
desks, bookcases and others. (M. Linz, J. Riechmann
and J. Sempere, 2007, p. 59)

The carpenter's trade is working with wood, whether in construction (doors, windows, etc.)
or in the manufacture of furniture.

Woodworking is one of the oldest human industry activities that exist, which is why in each
culture and region we will find different ways and tools to work with this material. (M.
Linz, J. Riechmann and J. Sempere, 2007, p. 62)

Originally, one of the main manufactures in carpentry was doors and windows. Due to the
appearance of new materials for the production of doors and windows, wood has been
replaced by aluminum or PVC , and the old carpenters who worked with wood specialized
in the realization of these manufactures also known as carpentry: « Aluminum carpentry"
and "PVC carpentry". (M. Linz, J. Riechmann and J. Sempere, 2007, p. 70)

WOODEN CARPENTRY: These are all wooden elements

that are generally made in a workshop, receiving a
complete industrialization process and that only require
being placed on site as they have been manufactured, such
as doors, chairs, etc., or they may be materials that must
undergo a transformation process.

CHARACTERISTICS:

Aesthetics: warmth
Material of natural origin (plant), affected by pathogenic agents (fungi, moths,
termites, etc.) that affect its durability.
Suffers dimensional variations due to changes in humidity (shrinkage and
numbness)
They require frequent maintenance (mainly outside). Artisanal or rationalized
construction.
Good airtightness depends on sash-frame contacts and weather stripping accessory
elements). Combustible material.
It allows versatility of shapes, textures and colors.
Cost: variable depending on the quality of the wood used and the design of the
opening.
Mechanical limitations due to non-intimate joints (assemblies, connectors, plugs,
screws).

TYPE OF LEAVES:
 Clad frame:
Non-apparent structure, covered by laminar elements.
Board:
Apparent frame closed by flat or molded, blind or translucent elements.
Solid:
Made up of a series of elements (boards) joined together by tongue or tongue.

WOOD PRODUCTION:

WOODEN DOOR:

Its

main part is the frame, made up of two vertical elements or stringers and several horizontal
elements or crossbars that fix the boards.

According to the rule, the stringer is where the hinges are placed and the swing is the
opposite stringer.

The head is the upper crossbar and the comb is the wider crossbar, generally located at the
bottom and in some cases, at the height of the lock.

The most common thickness of the frame is 45 mm, the width of the stringers and crossbars
is 90 mm and the width of the top is 190 mm.
Frame elements are generally joined together via a mortise and tenon assembly, often with
a wooden dowel for reinforcement.

The boards are usually formed by joining several boards to obtain the desired width, which
should be reinforced with dowels.

Its thinner edges and inclined faces are inserted into the groove of the stringers and
crossbars, without adhesives, to allow volumetric changes due to variations in ambient
humidity.
Currently, special plates of plywood, chipboard, veneer or other are used to form boards.
(Alan Bridgewater, Gill Bridgewater, 2004, page 30)

Wooden doors continue to be by far the most requested despite the rise of synthetic
materials. Not only for its appearance but above all for its touch and presence.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

A production process is defined as the set of successive operations in a transformation cycle

of an input until it becomes a final product or good.

Wood selection. Polished.

Design. Armed.
Court. Finish
Brushed.

COURT

The cutting of the laurel wood planks is carried out according to the production order and
product to be produced.

The cutting process is carried out by 2 people, as they need help to position the board and
planks on the bench saw and move them when necessary.

The process consists of establishing the dimensions of the product to be manufactured,

placing the board and planks on the bench saw so that in the end the machine makes the cut
as established.

BRUSHED.
Each piece of wood is brushed to remove any rough edges; this task can be performed by a
single person.

EDGED.

This process consists of passing the different pieces of wood through the edger machine.
The process consists of passing the wood through the machine so that at this point in the
production process, the wood still has imperfections both due to consistency and previous
cuts, and thus leaving the wood uniform both in measurements and in its contours.

PANELING.

Once the wood and boards have been cut to the measurements needed, they are shaped on
the tongue-and-groove edges, so that they can fit into the structure of furniture doors or
large doors. Likewise, on the inside of the panels, molding is given with the Tupi.
ARMED

The assembly process consists of forming the product after having all the essential parts
according to the client's needs, the company assembles doors, chairs.

WOODEN WINDOW:

Within construction and carpentry, one of the best-selling items is the creation of windows.
There are countless department stores that offer luxurious windows for sale at high prices.
However, not all of these windows have the most durable and indicated materials necessary
to have the best window necessary.
To make a window, it is only necessary to follow a series of fairly simple steps exactly
where the most important thing is to decide what material you want to make the window
from. Another advantage of realizing an advantage is the possibility of deciding the color of
which said window will be as well as its magnitude. (Alan Bridgewater, Gill Bridge toilet,
2004, page 40
