 IMPORTANCE AND METHODS OF

ENHANCING/DECORATING BAMBOO, WOOD, AND METAL

PRODUCTS

In order to be satisfied with the results of your work with the hand tools, you need
to know their construction, how to properly sharp hand tools and also how to use the
hand tools properly.
Negligence or lack of knowledge will likely lead to mistakes and there is a high
risk of the injury. When using the hand tools, precision and proper hand tool use are
far more important than the speed of working process. Depending on the type of work
that has to be done, a craftsman must own a proper hand tools; he must be able to
choose the right hand tool for the work and he has to know how to use that hand tool
to do a good job. Without the proper hand tools and knowledge about using it, the
craftsman will lose its efficiency and quality.
Hand tools can be divided into several groups:

• Laying out tools – Measuring and marking tools

• Impact or striking tools (hammers, mallets and sledges)
• Twisting tools or fastening tools (wrenches and screwdrivers)
• Woodcutting tools (wood saws, planes, wood chisels)
• Metal cutting tools (dies, drills, files, punches, reamers, taps)
• Holding tools (clamps, pliers, vises)
• Safety equipment (goggles, gloves)
• Grinding and sharpening tools
• Finishing tools and abrasives
• Tool storage & accessory containers

Nowadays, the speed and productivity are very important, and therefore many
works in the workshop are being done with the power tools and machines. However,
any good craftsman knows that the quality result lies in the balance between the
handwork and machine work. In many cases during the manufacture, the craftsman
has to decide whether some operation will be done with the hand tools or with the
machine. Such decision should always be made by considering which method is more
efficient, which method you are adept to, which methods produce better work and
which method is cheaper.
Always use right hand tool for the job. This way you get the best job with the least
effort, the least damage to the tool and the least danger to yourself.
In some cases, hand tools are faster than the machines. Of course, if many
identical parts need to be cut, hand tools are definitely slower. But if you work on some
unique project, it will surely be easier to perform some operations with the hand tools,
rather than to waste time to set up and configure your machine.

One of the important advantages of hand tools is that they are cheaper than the
power tools, so if in your work you do not have a specific need for this type of tools, it
will be much more cost-effective to buy less expensive hand tool and use it
occasionally, than to buy an expensive power tool which will lay on the shelf. Besides
that, the hand tools are indispensable for the house maintenance. Various jobs on the
house are occasional, so it is not profitable to invest a lot of money in various power
tools. Another great advantage of hand tools is that they are much safer than the power
tools, and this is important for both craftsmen beginners and for the amateurs, who
use hand tools just for quick repairs.
You can find additional information about the hand tools and their usage in our free
books category.
Nevertheless, we decided to systematize all the hand tools in one place in this
category, so that everyone who wants to use them can read what these tools can do
and how to use them.

 Importance and Methods of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood and Metal
Products
Importance of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood, and Metal Products
1. Finished products tend to be more salable to customers when enhanced
and decorated.
2. Enhanced and decorated finished products help maintain their durability to
harsh elements.
3. Finished products that are enhanced or decorated beautify the product
itself.
Methods of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood, and Metal Products
WOODTURNING
It is a process of using a lathe to make various forms and shapes of wood.

HAND CARVING
It is considered a woodcraft in which a sharp object is used to create designs on
the wood. Various textures and surfaces can be created using this technique. Tools
such as chip carving knife, gouges, and chisels are used.
PYROGRAPHY
It is considered an art using a fire or heat to decorate wood or leather.

FLOCKING
It is a technique lines of the interior of drawers and boxes with a soft velvety finish.
INLAYING
It combines several techniques that involve inserting decorative pieces in to a
base object to incorporate new designs on the original product.

STAINING
It is used to color wood to give an illusion of texture. This may come in two varieties.
First, pigment-based stain will color large pores of the wood, while dye-based stain
color small pores of the wood.
PAINTING
It is considered the simplest way of decorating wood since there is a variety of
colors that you can choose from. One may also add a lacquer finish to make it shinier
and glossy.
 Metalcraft Enhancing Techniques
ENGRAVING
It is a method of transferring a design on metal using a hardened steel tool called
burin or graver to cut into the surface of the metal.

ETCHING
It is a process used to make designs or pictures on a metal plate by using acid that
produces corrosive action. In modern manufacturing, strong chemicals are used on
other types of material.
METAL PAINTING
Adding metal enhancing media such as metal paints, copic markers and antiquing
kits give color to the metal product. Metal paints may be applied using a brush or spray.

TEXTURING and EMBOSSING

In this technique you will need hammers, metal stamps, stencils, and other
materials to create imprints on the metal. Though there are new technologies used to
emboss a metal with different textures, a hammer and nail can still be used to create
your own design.
Creativity and Innovativeness in Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood, and
Metal Products
Products made of bamboo, wood, and metal are much in demand both in the local
and international market. With the evolving needs of today’s consumers, many
entrepreneurs are continuously creating and innovating products in order to cater to
the demands of the market.

FINISHING MATERIALS

There are many ways or method use on how to decorate finished products. Finishing
materials are commonly used in decorating wood, bamboo, and metal products. Some
are listed below:
FILLERS
These are applied on wood to fill up cracks, holes, and grooves. There are two kinds
of wood fillers:
a. Paste filler – It comes from silex, raw linseed oil, and turpentine. It
has colors such as natural, red, or golden oak.
b. Shellac – this is a kind of varnish that dries up easily and is not
waterproof. It comes from lac gum diluted in alcohol. Shellac is
available in white or orange color. White paste fillers are used to fill
in big cracks and grooves or wood.
STAINS

The common wood stains used are oil stain, water stain, and spirit stain which are
named after the solvent used. Stains are sold in different colors and shades. The
easiest to apply on wood is oil stain. The hardest one to apply is the spirit stain
because it dries up easily.

PAINT
A finishing material most commonly used on wood. Paint prevents moisture on the
wood which causes decay. Paint beautifies wooden objects and makes them easy to
clean.
VARNISH
This is a transparent finishing material that comes from gum, linseed oil, and resin.
It is hard and shiny when dry and gives sheen to the wooden project. Varnish is widely
used in furniture and upholstery making.

ENAMEL
This is kind of varnish with color. Powdered color pigments are mixed with the
varnish. it is used on wood that is not exposed to the sun or rain because it easily
fades. There are two kinds of enamel, gloss and non-gloss. Gloss enamel gives sheen
and has an attractive effect on wood. Non-gloss enamel does not give any sheen, but
it beautifies wood.
LACQUER

It is another kind of varnish made of melted cotton tinters, gum, or chemicals.

Like enamel, lacquer comes in different colors.
