Almost everyone would rather have their own business than work as an employee. There are several reasons for this. First of all, business owners have the opportunity to do what they love and have a higher income. Own even small business- it's prestigious. Independence from external conditions and the employer's quirks are also an important plus.

Organization of a mini-workshop.
For small-scale wholesale production of furniture panels, it will be necessary to open a small woodworking enterprise, on the basis of which furniture panels will be produced. Of course, you can focus on the production of furniture, but not the fact that it will be in demand. Release furniture board allows you to form a portfolio of regular small-scale wholesale customers, respectively, to provide a constant income for the woodworking shop.

It is advisable to open a mini-workshop in areas where felling is carried out and there is a production of sawn timber, but even with the purchase of wood with delivery to the region, the business will be quite profitable. Let's consider it in detail.

The main advantages of furniture structural material include:
- the use of new gluing technologies makes it possible to preserve and favorably emphasize the natural texture of the tree;
- glued structures, unlike solid wood, retain their dimensions unchanged and practically do not shrink;
- glued furniture boards are an environmentally friendly product used for the production of furniture and interior decoration;
- for production, you can make a furniture board of any size, which, accordingly, reduces the cost of inefficient use.
Furniture board production is good foundation for any woodworking business, as there is a steady demand. Hardwood and conifers are used as raw materials for production, pine is considered the most cost-effective material.
The production process of glued furniture board consists of the following stages, which means:
- drying of lumber, preferably in its own drying chambers, this will ensure high quality products;
- calibration and processing of lumber defects;
- wood splitting into lamellas and removal of defects;
- trimming to the required size and removal of defective spots;
- splicing of workpieces (along the length), at the ends of the workpieces, toothed spikes are cut out and glue is applied, trimming is carried out to size;
- calibration of lamellas in order to remove the glue layer and obtain geometrically accurate blanks;
- gluing lamellas and gluing into a shield;
- cutting out defective seams.
- formatting of the shield with cutting in width and formatting cropping;
- clean calibration and final sanding.

Each process involves the performance of work on a special machine, part production processes can be carried out on semi-industrial woodworking machines, but you still need to mechanize and automate production as much as possible in order to obtain a high quality product. The size and characteristics of the workshop premises will depend on the number of machines purchased.

Choice - Premises.
A room for a mini workshop for the production of furniture boards is usually chosen in an industrial area. To do this, you will need to rent a warehouse or workshop at a convenient location. The infrastructure of the workshop should include administrative premises - 20-30 sq. meters, lumber warehouse and finished products 30-50 sq. meters (preferably divided by different rooms), workshop premises 100-200 sq. meters.

Equipment for the production of furniture boards.

The universal four-sided four-spindle machine Winner Blazer BL 4-23 for woodworking is suitable for a high-tech workshop, performs all the operations described. You can choose from inexpensive woodworking machines, their price is 12,000-36,000 rubles;

Double-sided surface gauge MIDA SPBF-2S / 500 or MB-2061 for lamellas, respectively, of Portuguese and Chinese production. The JET JWP-12 m surface gauge can be purchased for 18,000 rubles;

Optimization line OMGA T 2000 NC series, a second-hand Russian machine can be purchased for 640,000 rubles;
- OMGA FJL-183 face splicing line, the Russian version will cost 144,000 rubles, a semi-automatic machine will cost about 56,000 rubles;

The glue-applying machine OSAMA S2R-1600, you can purchase a less expensive version of the machine for about 220,000 rubles;

Fan clamps TRIMWEX INDUK type SL (P), used clamps can be purchased for 300,000 rubles;

A machine for aging wood in order to obtain a unique texture of a furniture board will cost 320,000 rubles;

Some of the listed types of machines can be made by yourself. Accordingly, this will significantly reduce the volume of investments. When preparing a business plan, there are two ways to go. To buy new or overhauled equipment on credit or lease, most companies offer favorable conditions, respectively, you only need to work hard to pay for the equipment. The second way involves the purchase of used equipment at your own expense. This option also has advantages - there is no need to pay off debts.

Staff.
The number of workers in mini-shops is usually 5-15 people. As a rule, workers and carpenters also carry out work on loading and unloading raw materials and goods. In general, you will need to hire the following employees, it is better to choose people with work experience or technical education:
The head of the shop (he is the owner and the main foreman) - 70,000 rubles / month;
Accountant-secretary - 25,000 rubles / month;
2 professional carpenters - 2 * 40,000 rubles / month;
2 assistant apprentices - 2 * 20,000 rubles / month;
1 machine operator - 50,000 rubles / month;
1 locksmith - 30,000 rubles / month;
1 loader - 20,000 rubles / month;
1 storekeeper cleaner - 15,000 rubles / month;
2 watchmen - 10,000 rubles / month;
TOTAL: 350,000 rubles / month

To work at an enterprise with workers, it is necessary to conclude a contract, as well as take out insurance, since work in production causes risks to health and life in case of violation of technical safety standards.

Investments in a mini business.
The required investments will depend on the capacity of the furniture board production workshop and the level of its equipment. Would need:
- rent a room for production, prepare it for the deployment of the workshop, it may require repairs, installation of a ventilation system, partitions, doors, gates and checkpoints. These costs completely depend on the chosen premises and its furnishings. The cost of this position without rent is estimated at 100,000 rubles;
- to purchase or order equipment, the estimated investment in technological equipment will amount to 1,820,000 rubles (approximately 45 thousand dollars);
- the purchase of raw materials can be carried out on order, 50 cubic meters. meters for a start will be quite enough. Average price for 1 cubic meter m pine unedged boards is 8,000 rubles, respectively, the costs will be 400,000 rubles;
- rental of premises for 3 months - 54,000 rubles.
- salaries for 3 months - 1,050,000 rubles, in this case there may be options, since it is not worth keeping employees without a load. Initially, you can hire an incomplete staff, and then expand it. For the first time months, the cost of salaries should be limited to 400,000 rubles / month.

Financial plan.
For example, the cost of a furniture board made of SS pine is 1200 rubles per 0.04 cubic meters. meters, respectively, 1 cubic meter. meter of furniture board will cost 120,000 rubles, with the cost price of unedged boards 8,000 rubles.

First 3 months of work (incomplete load):
In this case, in order to recoup the costs of maintaining the workshop in the first 3 months:
- 18,000 rubles / month rent + 4000 rubles / month communal payments;
- 400,000 rubles / month salaries.
You will need to receive an income of 422,000 rubles. When sold per month 20 cubic meters. meters of furniture board, the turnover will be 2,400,000 rubles in the first months. Board costs: (20 cubic meters + 30% for scrap) * 8000 rubles = 208000 rubles. Accordingly, the cost of raw materials will not exceed 10%. The income will be:
2,400,000 (total sales) - 422,000 (workshop maintenance costs) - 208,000 (raw materials costs) = 1,770,000 rubles.
The break-even point (based on the cost of raw materials and the maintenance of the workshop) assumes the manufacture and sale of 3 sq. meters of the shield per month. Don't forget to pay VAT, payroll taxes and income tax.

After the shop reaches its design capacity (50 cubic meters)
After the shop reaches its design capacity (approximately 50 cubic meters), the income will be:
6,000,000 (total sales) - 105,000 (workshop maintenance costs) - 520,000 (raw materials costs) = 4,430,000 rubles.
The break-even point for the maintenance of the workshop assumes the sale of 13 sq. meters of furniture board.

Payback periods.
Thus, we will make an estimate of the costs of investing a business and estimate the planned income in connection with the planned production volume.
So, for the first 3 months the workshop will operate in an experimental mode, produce and sell 20 cubic meters. meters of furniture board. Income excluding taxes amount to 1,770,000 rubles per month.

According to our calculations, investments in equipment with a complete set of workshop (see "Equipment") will amount to 1,820,000 rubles. In fact, with a properly organized implementation, it is possible to recoup the investment already in the first 2 months of the woodworking shop's work. This allows you to think about buying high-quality equipment on lease or credit. But you can postpone and form a financial asset, and a year later, radically expand production. So from a small workshop, you can create a fairly large woodworking enterprise that produces not only furniture boards.

Marketing.
Of course, such impressive results can only be achieved if well-organized implementation. The marketing task, which during the first steps of the business belongs to the owner's area of ​​responsibility, involves the sale of furniture panels in bulk.

Usually wholesale implies the purchase of 10 cubic meters. meters. In practice, first of all, you need to conclude an agreement with two wholesale buyers. To do this, you need to offer a lower product price.

In the coming months, the portfolio should include 5 large customers. All this assumes preliminary negotiations with customers and their search.

Advertising.
Obviously, in the first months of operation, a mini workshop for the production of furniture panels should focus on attracting wholesale customers in order to reach a break-even point. At the same time, working with wholesalers does not at all exclude the sale of a shield at retail or in small wholesale markets.

Any advertisement should be targeted at a potential consumer group. In our case, these are furniture companies. To present information about a new production, you will need to make booklets or brochures that will describe the workshop and its capabilities. Advertising in the markets to small wholesalers and retail customers will require business cards and pocket calendars that can be left in stores and on trays. We must not forget that an online store will help sell the product.

Advertising costs will be:
- brochures 1000-2000 pcs. - 16,000 rubles;
- booklets 1000-2000 pcs. - 6000-8000 rubles;
- pocket calendars 1000 pcs. - 3000 rubles;
- online store - 8000 rubles with advertising.

If an active advertising campaign is required, a separate employee should be involved in this - the advertising manager. Wage manager can be contractual and amount to about 15,000 rubles for part-time work. In some cases, the functions of an advertising manager are taken over by an accountant. It is quite enough for them to order and receive products, as well as to close financial documents.

Note that the creation of a site does not at all imply that it can be found without additional efforts. This is what the content manager usually does, who promotes the site in in social networks, search engines and forums. Usually such specialists work on a contractual basis on a volume basis, so costs can be planned in the course of operating activities.

Sales of products.
For the first time in months of the shop's work, sales of products are, as a rule, carried out by managers. At the next stage, sales agents, managers are involved in the work and a sales department or a sales department is created. Most of the salespeople work on a percentage of the sales volume, thus the business owners motivate the traders to enter into more contracts, from which they are deducted a constant percentage.

The independent work of the sales department gives good result, the task of the agents is to organize sales, the task of the shop is to produce quality products... The functionality of the sales department is over time complemented by the functions of the advertising and marketing department, which must generate productive sales concepts, constantly replenishing the portfolio of large and small buyers.

In fact, the proposed overview is an instruction on how to create a small woodworking workshop and develop it to the level of a large woodworking factory. With a pragmatic approach, building a large business from scratch is possible even today.
We wish you good luck in your first steps and hope that our review has helped our readers start their own business and achieve great success. Despite the skepticism of many, it is possible to create a large business from scratch, the main thing is to plan everything carefully and not be afraid of work. Certainly, special meaning has a choice of business lines. It was in this choice that they decided to help you and to facilitate the task of planning.

FEATURES OF FURNITURE SHIELD MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY

(SPbGLTA, St. Petersburg, RF)

The article places for consideration key regulations of the technology of manufacture furniture shield, as well as conditions and factors having influence on the quality of treatment of the furniture shield and its gluing.

Furniture board - as the main semi-finished product used in the production of solid wood cabinet furniture, staircase parts, etc., is the most demanded environmentally friendly material. And at the same time, the process of its manufacture is characterized by labor-, material-, and energy-consuming, in contrast to the technology of manufacturing board materials such as particleboard, fiberboard, MDF.

The multi-operation of the technological process is due to the specifics of the material itself - wood- as an object of processing, used equipment and materials, as well as requirements for the quality of the final product. Wood with anisotropy of properties, different density, structure, defects, type of sawing significantly affects the choice of technology. There are several schemes of the technological process of manufacturing, but the most widespread and effective is the so-called “Swedish” technology. But in any case, adherence to technology, modes, processing parameters is a guarantee of obtaining a high quality furniture board that meets consumer and operational requirements. As a rule, lamellas in a furniture board are glued onto a smooth joint using PVAD-based adhesives with or without a hardener, if this is not specified in the terms of reference. Such binders have a transparent, elastic adhesive seam of high strength, which is necessary for furniture boards, withstand temperature and humidity deformations, mechanical stress. With the use of these adhesives in the gluing technology, intensification of HFC heating or conductive heating can be applied.

It should be noted following conditions technological process, without which gluing a high-quality shield is impossible:

Uniformity of moisture indicators of the quality of drying sawn timber. The final humidity required by the technology (for a furniture board it is 8 ± 1.5%). These tight moisture limits are due to operational and process requirements. The lower one is associated with the bonding process (surface wettability with a binder, absorbency, penetrating ability of the glue), further machining shield (calibration, grinding, milling). Overdried wood worsens the quality of its processing, forms chips, fiber peels, and has low plasticity. Too high moisture content of the sawn timber to be processed leads to even worse problems when gluing the board, its further grinding and finishing. When planing, the quality of the planed surface of the lamellas is unsatisfactory due to the formation of hairiness. The high moisture content of the lamellae affects the exposure time in the hot press, the polymerisation of the binder and the strength of the glue line. The inhomogeneity of the moisture indicators of the quality of drying sawn timber, especially the moisture differences over their cross-section, as a result of cutting into lamellas, leads to the fact that slats with different moisture content that differ from the average fall into the assembled shield. This contributes to the appearance of various kinds of deformations. The striving of the lamellas for an equilibrium moisture state in the glued board, when it is kept under certain conditions, contributes to their shrinkage and swelling to varying degrees. Such processes entail either warping of the shield, or cracking it at the ends during processing and operation.

Undoubtedly, the uniformity of moisture indicators of drying quality is a key condition for the production of furniture boards at a high level.

The geometry of the lamellas, i.e. rectangularity and dimensional stability. This is a very important condition for pressing. If it is not observed, proper contact between the gluing surfaces is not ensured, non-adhesion is formed along the entire length of the shield - this is a marriage. The geometry of the lamellas can be achieved by the accuracy of the equipment setting, the qualifications of the service personnel and the technical equipment of the machines on which the sawn timber is processed. Modern equipment makes it possible to fulfill this requirement, but not always. Plane planing guarantees geometry if the knives in the planing drums are set perpendicular to the tables (planing bases) and the accuracy of the work of the clamps and feed rollers. When using Swedish technology, that is, planing sawn timber with simultaneous cutting into lamellas, the most accurate perpendicularity of the edges to be processed is ensured, since the saw shaft with the saw set is perpendicular to the tables. Correct positioning of the saw shaft in relation to the tables of the four-sided machine, as well as setting the clamps, will make it possible to obtain lamellas with strictly perpendicular sides.

The amount of binder applied to the glued surfaces (glue consumption). The consumption of glue is regulated by the supplier, but is specified by the conditions of gluing, viscosity, wood species, its moisture content, equipment for application, etc. The average consumption is 120-150 g / sq. m. Insufficient application of the binder is the reason for the low strength of the glue seam and, as a consequence, the unsticking of the board. Too high consumption - it is necessary to increase the holding time, both before pressing and during gluing, the productivity of the leading equipment drops sharply. In the technology of applying glue, it is convenient to use the roller method. The upper clamping is adjustable, the lower one is grooved with grooves, the depth and width of which have certain dimensions. In the process of applying it to the lamella, the glue should be located on the surface in the form of even stripes without breaks.

Pressing pressure. An essential condition for gluing, it is impossible to ensure proper contact between the surfaces to be glued without pressing pressure. The pressure does not have to be high in order to exclude deformation of the lamellas in the shield. The criterion for evaluating the pressing pressure is a small amount of glue protruding at the ends and on the surface of the shield.

The above conditions are necessary, failure to fulfill them entails serious economic problems for the enterprise. The percentage of scrap is increasing, it is good if it is tracked at the initial operations, and not in the final product from the consumer.

In addition to the basic conditions in the technology of manufacturing a furniture board, there are a number of features that should be mentioned.

Firstly, the duration of the technological holding of the material. There is an opinion that the planed rail should not be in a free state for a long time, more than a day, that is, everything that was planed should be glued. This is due to the loss of activity of the adhesive surface, namely its oxidation and the closure of wood pores. Exposure of the board after gluing before further machining. German experts believe that the glued board should be kept for at least 4 hours, some say at least 6. In any case, the boards must be maintained, especially after hot pressing, to ensure relaxation of temperature and humidity stresses arising during the bonding process.

Secondly, the pressing temperature. Temperature is an intensification of the process; for different breeds, it must be regulated. For conifers pressing temperature should not exceed 75 - 80 ° С. If the drying of sawn timber was carried out without crystallization of the resin, then the high pressing temperature promotes the release of resin onto the surface of the shield, and this has an unsatisfactory effect on further grinding (the abrasive is quickly clogged with wood dust along with the resin), the grinding surface becomes wavy and in some cases burns. As a result, it is not the process of grinding as one of the types of wood cutting that occurs, but the rubbing of the wood. Consequently, finishing such a shield with paints and varnishes will be problematic. For hardwoods, especially oak, there is no need for high temperatures. The basic density of oak is much higher than that of pine, and therefore the thermal conductivity is higher. In addition to temperature, the polymerization of the binder is also influenced by the duration of exposure of the shields in a hot press. It is believed that for conifers the exposure time is at least 1.5 - 2 minutes for each centimeter of shield thickness at a temperature on the surface of the press plates of 75 - 80 ° C. For hardwoods, these values ​​should be adjusted depending on the breed of its original moisture content and other factors. Specifically for oak furniture board, exposure should not be long, as well as high temperature, since there is a release of tannin dyes and, when interacting with a binder, a dark glue line is formed.

Thirdly, when recruiting a shield, the condition of the correct orientation of annual layers in adjacent lamellas, as well as radial, tangential and mixed cuts, must be observed, especially for oak materials. It is not allowed to allow different sawing rails in the same panel; strict sorting must be carried out. Failure to meet these conditions in a place with poor-quality wood drying entails serious consequences when using such panels. Different shrinkage (swelling) in the radial and tangential directions, when the shields are kept under certain conditions, can cause their severe deformation and violation of their integrity.

In conclusion of this work, the following should be noted, all of the listed features of the furniture panel manufacturing technology are only a small part of a huge issue. The answers to which lie in the specificity and originality of the problem under study, since few of the furniture board manufacturers pay due attention to its technology, to increase useful exit when cutting, improving quality, rational use of wood - as a product of wildlife.

Furniture board is a specific type of wood-based materials created by gluing standard planed wooden blocks. It is effectively used to create different types accessories and coatings. Making a furniture board with your own hands at home is not difficult at all, so this work is available for self-fulfillment every person. The resulting designs are natural and environmentally friendly, and at the same time much more attractive than chipboard or MDF.

Making a furniture board with your own hands at home involves the use of different types of wood. Most often, birch or oak, beech or aspen are used for this, as well as larch and various conifers.

Each species of wood has its own characteristics, therefore, before making a certain choice, it is recommended to determine in advance what operating conditions the resulting contraction will be applied to.

Most often, furniture boards are used to create different types of furniture and doors. They are distinguished by the presence of specific internal stress, therefore, in the process of work, one must be careful not to violate the integrity of the structure. Incorrect work can lead to deformation of the finished product.

The main advantages of furniture boards are:

• environmental friendliness due to the use of natural ingredients and high-quality glue;
• exquisite appearance the received furniture and other structures, but this is possible only with competent processing of the boards;
• high practicality, since wood has a homogeneous structure, which allows you to restore broken or lost attractiveness elements;
• making a furniture board is an incredibly simple task, and at the same time a small amount of money is spent on this process;
• furniture made from panels is durable and attractive;
• the products do not have any cracks or other deformations, and also do not undergo significant shrinkage.

The main factor in obtaining a high-quality shield is a competent choice of material for these purposes. Standard furniture boards have a thickness of 2 cm, therefore, blanks are initially prepared optimal size, as well as having the required thickness. Since the boards will certainly have to be planed, and then sanded, they should be purchased with a margin, so their thickness should be 2.5 cm.

In the process of choosing a material, you should focus on the type of wood, as well as on the quality of the boards. The wood is not allowed to be uneven or warped. It must be of good quality, properly dried and free from any rotten areas. Therefore, before purchasing, you should carefully inspect the boards. Additionally, the accompanying documentation for the material is studied in detail.

Required tools

Do-it-yourself gluing of the furniture board is made using standard tools. Usually they are available for every man who prefers to do numerous household chores on his own. Therefore, only the elements are prepared:

• planer for optimal preparation of wood;
• a tool for connecting and gluing individual wooden blocks;
• belt sander;
• building level, allowing you to get really even shields;
• coarse sandpaper;
• flat sander.

These tools will be enough to make a shield, so no expensive devices are needed anymore.

Manufacturing rules

As soon as the tools are completely ready for the planned work, the direct production procedure begins. How to make a furniture board? This process is not considered too complicated, but in order to exclude possible errors or problems, it is recommended to study the correct instructions in advance. For this, the following steps are performed:

• initially wooden planks cut into separate bars with the right size, and it is important to make cuts in such a way that they are strictly at right angles;
• the presence of any irregularities or other defects is not allowed, since in this case it will not be possible to properly glue the furniture board;
• if minor distortions are found, then they can be eliminated with a conventional planer;
• an important point in production is the combination of the obtained blanks, since they must be the same in texture and color, as well as in other important parameters;
• after the selection of the elements, they are marked so that during the gluing process there are no difficulties with their correct location.

To ensure that all stages of the process are carried out taking into account the main nuances, it is recommended to watch the training video in advance.

Making bars

We machine

Marking each bar

Bonding technology

After all the bars made are prepared, you can start gluing them directly, which will ensure a high-quality shield. This procedure is also divided into sequential stages:

• a device is selected that makes it possible to glue the bars, and it must be even, and usually a regular chipboard sheet is used for this;
• strips are fixed at the edges of the sheet, and their height depends on the parameters of the prepared bars;
• bars are laid out between these strips, and they should fit snugly to each other and an attractive pattern should form from them;
• if there are gaps, then they can be easily eliminated with a standard jointer;
• then the bars are glued together, for which they are used different types adhesives intended for wood, but the use of PVA glue is considered optimal;
• the entire surface is smeared with glue, consisting of bars, and it is important that the product is evenly distributed over the surface;
• lubricated elements are tightly pressed against each other;
• on the slats, fixed to chipboard sheet, two more such strips are laid, after which these elements are connected with self-tapping screws, and this is necessary to prevent the resulting shield from bending;
• the resulting workpiece is left for about an hour, after which the shield is released and left for a day.

Thus, having figured out how to glue the elements to obtain a furniture board, this process will not require significant effort. The procedure is easy to implement on their own, and as a result, structures are obtained that are effectively used to create numerous furniture, doors or even full-fledged coatings, which are distinguished not only by high strength, but also by reliability, as well as an attractive appearance.

Final processing

Shields are made in such a way that they are not only strong and durable, but also attractive enough. For this, attention is paid to some finishing stages, which consist in special processing. For this, the following actions are performed:

• a preliminary grinding procedure is carried out. For these purposes, it is recommended to use a standard belt sander. It is necessary to insert a special sandpaper, and it must have large fractions, since the initial processing is done. It allows you to eliminate large defects and drops left on the surface after the process of creating a shield. It is necessary to act carefully, and the process is also carried out in consistent and even lines;
• secondary processing - involves the use of a flat grinder... It ensures the removal of the slightest differences, irregularities and other defects on the surface of a wooden furniture board. Also, due to this process, the pile is removed from the surface. It is recommended to pre-moisten the base with a small amount of water, and sanding should be started only after the structure is completely dry.

After competently implemented processing, it is possible to use the resulting boards to create a variety of tables or shelves, nightstands and other furniture. It is allowed to use them to form doors or coatings with high strength, reliability and durability.

Quite often, a furniture board is required for work - this is a wood material used for the production of furniture or decorative elements, as a rule, glued from a set of rectangular blanks, and these blanks are glued together with their ends so that the board is a flat area material. There are a lot of options for assembling shields - this is a simple end gluing and assembly on various dowels and dovetail... This article will focus on the manufacture of an unusual shield, or rather, on its further processing.

Tool and material for assembling furniture board

To work, we need the following set of tools:

• Grinder with saw blade and slotting device;
• Grinder (belt or eccentric);
• Miter saw;
• Hand tools: Clamps, planer, pencil, etc.

Material

• Solid wood (for example, pine);
• Joiner's glue.

Shield manufacturing technology

Let's divide all our work into two main stages:

• Assembling the shield
• Shield processing.

Assembling the shield

In fact, at this stage, everything is pretty standard and there is probably nothing particularly fundamentally new here, but, nevertheless, let's go over standard technology one more time.

1. We dissolve the array into blanks

The standard and simplest procedure is to dissolve it into blanks of the required size.

2. Align the height of the workpieces

We pass our workpieces through in order to level their height and make the surfaces parallel as precisely as possible.

3. We plan the ends

4. Spike markings

5. Sawing the grooves for the thorns

6. Gluing the shield

And, as always, we need to very well tighten our entire structure with clamps in order to ensure minimum clearances and snug fit gluing planes. It is also important to pay attention to the fact that at the moment of fixation the shield does not lead, and it does not bend in an arc. To do this, we fix it with many clamps in different planes.

Embossing the shield

1. Primary processing of the shield

2. Prepare the circular

And now the fun begins - we wake up to cut across. To do this, you need to make a parallel (already perpendicular!) Emphasis that does not go along saw blade, and across. Since such an element, of course, is not provided for in standard configurations, we will accordingly make it ourselves from a simple board, pressed with clamps to the saw table.

4. Making the shield relief

Now gradually you need to start grinding the edge of the board, moving the workpiece across the saw blade. Each time increasing the overhang of the saw blade, the volume of wood removed will accordingly increase, forming a relief. This operation must be carried out sequentially with each side of the workpiece so that there is a uniform removal of volumes. Below are a few photos from different angles, so that everything is clear.

Shield surface treatment

Then we cover the surface chemical composition- it can be varnishes (glossy or matte), impregnations, tinting stains, etc. - the choice of an impregnating composition is a topic for a separate article.

The embossed furniture board is ready.
