Hi architecture lovers how are you all today? Have a nice day full of jokes and laughter....
There are so many used goods around us that we can reprocess into useful items and of course it will be interesting, today I want to show you the results of my work that I finished yesterday afternoon in my workshop, all the materials I used in this project are used wood.
Four days ago my neighbor came to my workshop he said that there was a lot of used wood in his house which had been abandoned for quite a long time and he asked me to process it into a shelf that he could use in his kitchen as a place to put kitchen utensils, yesterday afternoon after I was ready to work on it I immediately delivered it to my neighbor's house and I saw that he was very happy with the results and he also said that he did not expect used wood to turn out like this.
I think this is one of the challenges for me, because in processing used wood to become a product, I have to be really careful in checking all the used wood, maybe there will be a lot of nails or bolts that are still in the wood and I have to remove them first. first so that my machine is maintained, (such as for example) if the wood is not completely clean of nails then when I shave it with a hand planner the machine's blade will be blunt and it will take more time for me to sharpen the machine's blade and sometimes it is very annoying so I have to really make sure the wood is clean of nails or bolts.
It took me almost half a day to pull the nails out of the wood, this was because of the many rusty nails and when I removed the nails they would break and the pieces would remain in the wood and I had to carve the wood a little so I could pull the nails out with a hammer. pliers and it's really very inconvenient, but that's what my job is to accept.
After all the wood is clean I start shaving and splitting all the wood into the size I need and I adjust that size to the existing wood, so let's get into the process.
First I prepared wood for the left and right poles as much as 4 parts with a size of 4 x 5 x 160 cm and wood with a size of 2 x 4 x 48 cm as a connector between the two legs as much as 4 parts,,
Then I started to outline and then carved it as a hole for the connecting wood panel, after the pole was finished I punched the hole I started assembling the four poles into 2 parts for the left and right.
After the two parts of the legs are finished I assemble then I prepare the wood for the level of the shelf, I made this rack with 7 levels so I need 14 pieces of wood because each level I will install 2 wood on the front and behind this wood I split it with 2 sizes x 4 x 115 cm and later 5 cm of the length of the wood will go into the left and right side posts of 2.5 cm each as a panel.
After I assembled it into a framework like in the picture, then I cut the wood with the same size but the length difference is 44 cm which I will attach to each level as a floor holder, each level needs 5 pieces, so I need 35 pieces of wood with that size .
And then I prepared the wood for the floor for each level of the shelf with a size of 1 x 5 x 113 cm and at each level I needed 8 pieces of wood, so I needed 48 pieces of wood for 6 levels only because at the top level I used 6 mm plywood, because This is used wood, so the color of this wood is different, not just one type of wood, you can see it in the picture below.
For the floor, I didn't put it on before I painted everything because I painted it in a different color for the frame of the shelf I painted it using black dove paint to make it look like an iron shelf and for the floor of the shelf I painted it using wood varnish paint, this time I was helped by my friend paints the frame and I paint the floor myself, he often visits my workshop and he also really likes woodworking but he's not very good at it.
After everything was finished in the paint I waited until the paint was completely dry then I started attaching the floor of the shelf by nailing it..
That's the process of processing used wood into useful results that I did in my workshop, I hope you like my post and greetings architectural design....
