I would like to share with you some pictures from the implementation of the changing rooms on the Orava dam embankment. An interesting architectural design has created an interesting project of a wooden building thanks to the great commitment of the implementer in the bitter autumn weather. In order to realise the seemingly simple wooden building, the individual elements of the custom-made structure had to be prepared in the carpenter’s workshop, precisely cut and treated with natural oil well in advance.
Tung oil
In the realization of the project of this wooden building, two color combinations of this oil were used, namely white and anthracite. And, as usual, Chinese walnut oil, which is pressed from the nuts of the tung tree, was used, designed by the architect. The oil is usually supplied with a non-aromatic solvent. In this case, this combination proved to be an ideal protection for all the elements, as the building is outdoors. It will protect the building especially against water and abrasion and leave a nice pleasant matt finish with an accentuated wood grain. For illustration purposes, I have listed the colour shades of these oils: (1000 colorless, 1106 walnut, 1100 white, 1107 Cherry, 1101 Pine, 1108 Chestnut, 1102 light oak, 1109 id, 1103 rustic oak, 1110 walnut, 1104 Pines, 1111 mahogany, 1105 Alder, 1112 rosewood, 1113 rural grey, 1114 anthracite grey).
Anchors and bolts
There are several suppliers of these elements, so I recommend, for example, the manufacturer ROTHOBLAAS.
A high degree of attention must be paid to the quality and strength of these elements. This is something that should not be skimped on, as only these elements will guarantee a high durability of the building. Be sure to take the advice of a technical advisor when purchasing these elements. Many times they will point out what is not clear from the catalogue or even from the project. In summary, you need quality:
- fasteners,
- anchors and perforated sheet metal,
- screws,
- Others.
Preparation of the wooden building using CAD software
In fact, it is not even necessary to own a CNC milling machine to prepare a similar wooden building. However, it is a great advantage if the designer prepares the entire preparation of the above mentioned construction for the CNC milling machine. This is a plus for every designer. Alternatively, this service can also be provided by the owner of the milling machine. The clear advantage of the realization of such an object are:
- precise connections,
- quick assembly,
- lower material consumption,
- higher structural strength.
Tools for assembling wooden buildings
As a seller of tools for carpenters, I took the liberty of picking out tools that could come in handy for anyone who works with wood, and not just when assembling wood buildings. I definitely recommend the following:
I will be glad if you will also respond to this article in the comments.
