Furniture Carpenter

You work from the cutting list and the assembly drawing: panels squared, edges banded, holes drilled on the jig for hinges and shelf supports, and carcasses assembled with dowels and cams. Doors are hung and adjusted in three planes, drawers fitted and the piece checked for square before it is wrapped. Solid wood parts are planed, sanded through the grits and finished with lacquer in the spray booth. The workshop runs 08:00-17:00 from Monday to Friday.
