Woodworking is the process of using wood to build, construct or make something through the use of wood. Wood is a very common resource and can be found all around us. Wood can be used to create houses, buildings and other massive structures. But unlike in the past where this process was a total hand- on approach, today’s woodworkers have found many ways to make woodworking easier and simpler.
The technology in today’s time has aided the process in more ways than one. People have developed power tools, computer operated machines and cutting tools that can be both hand held or factory sized. The technology has allowed for people to go from the hand held saw, to the buzz cutter or the electric chain saw. These technological developments have not only decreased the time it takes to execute the woodwork process, but it has also made it easier. Tools like the power drill have made attaching lights onto ceilings easier than before. Other tools such as the hacksaw and bucksaw have made cutting quicker and easier.
The technology has also given rise to factory machines that aid the entire process. Machines such as the multi-rip saw and the four side moulder can be seen in factories that create furniture’s and fixtures and these equipment cuts the time and process in half. Woodworking is not just limited to the creation of houses, buildings and furniture. Artists also use this process to create art forms such as statues and miniature sculptures. They also use their knowledge to help people who want to create such art forms. Popular products of woodworking are the grandfather clock, antique tables and miniature sculptures of animals.
Woodworking has been around for a very long time and despite the recent spike in technology, its concept has never changed. People use the woodworking process to create houses and buildings while others use it as a form of art and create sculptures, statues and miniature figures. Working with wood is a timeless process that we are allowed to take full advantage of because of the availability of resources. Trees are the main providers of the resource for this process and will continue to be only if we maintain them properly. The environment has shown an imbalance in its state and nature and this is very alarming. That is why companies who are involved in the business must replant trees to not only help save the environment, but to maintain their business as well.
