Making Furniture
The beginner needs to realize that the difference between an amateur-looking furniture and a professional job, though important, is very small.
Often it is merely a matter of a piece of moulding or a corner brace, or a little extra sanding of the end grain.
In making a simple bedside lampstand and bookcase, for example, the tyro probably would be content with finishing everything off flush, and running the sides down to form feet. The professional, on the other hand, would give the top a slight overhang and form a simple thumb moulding on three edges.
He would certainly enclose the space below the bottom shelf, and perhaps cut the skirt into a decorative shape. This base would have the effect of giving four feet to the cabinet, and allow it to stand more firmly on the floor.
The difference between the two jobs therefore would not be one of extra skill on the part of the professional, but of a practical application of a knowledge of design and the way these things are usually done for the best results.
The closed-in base, as can readily be seen, is better from every standpoint. It shuts off a space that would collect dust yet be too low to permit of its being swept out. Thus for very little extra expenditure of labor and material a much more impressive and expensive-looking job results.
This principle can be extended to all kinds of furniture and cabinet-making jobs, including the selection of tools and the care they receive after they have been acquired. The professional gets the best tools he can afford, and buys at the same time

(53302) - Log Furniture Marketing Consultant
We are a manufacturer and seller of log based furniture. We currently have a retail store (5 1/2 yrs) and have been building log furniture for 11 yrs. We know there is a potential of a much bigger growth, both in our operations and in the lines of our products, but we are not sure on how to proceed to attract a wider clientele. We have grown quite a bit in the last 11 yrs, but now want to grow more. We need a consultant with experience marketing small businesses, particularly furniture businesses. Experience in log furniture would be helpful, because we recognize the market changes over the years. We have a web presence as well, and are shipping throughout the US.Respond By: 11/07/2006Respond to Project (53302)

Glues and Gluing
In any cabinet shop good glue is just as essential as screws for fastening joints. Furthermore it often holds where screws and nails will not.
There are many kinds of glue available, hot, cold, liquid, and powder, but the only kind that you need consider is the modern synthetic resin plastic glues such as Cascamite(tm) or Weldwood(tm).
If you use the powder type of glue it is mixed with cold water, a little at a time as needed. Thus there is very little waste and the glue is always fresh. It dries in a couple of hours, and sets thoroughly hard overnight, but the glued joints should be kept in clamps for at least 12 hours and preferably 24, to allow for thorough seasoning of the glue which then attains its maximum strength.
In gluing, the adhesive is mixed to a creamy consistency, and spread thinly over the two contacting surfaces of the joint. The joint is then assembled, and pressure applied. The only exception to clamping is in the application of glue blocks. In this case the joint is freed of air bubbles, and proper contact is assured by rubbing the glued block back and forth in the angle between the two surfaces. No clamp is needed, but if the piece is to be moved about, a small brad judiciously placed may prevent the weight of the block from dislodging it.
In any wood joint, the glue fills the pores of the wood and literally welds the two surfaces together. With the work properly glued and clamped, the joint will become stronger than the surrounding wood so that it cannot be broken apart. The glues mentioned, incidentally, are waterproof when once they have set.
