The Introduction to Carpentry Workshop was to gain experience and knowledge about wood materials and their processes with a small scale wooden furniture output of participants selection. In the workshop, I have explored the design criterias, joining methods and appropriate trees in wood processing. It was an insipiring experience to learn the basic carpentry hand tools, dimensioning and reinforceing of the wood. As the output, I have constructed a cabinet out of the tree pinus brutia, which is a common material in Türkiye when manufacturing furniture because of its locality and accessibility. When composing the cabinet, I have used different techniques such as rasping, wedging or adhesived squeeze. After the workshop I have added a strip light under the cabinet and am still using my hand-made cabinet besides my bed in my bedroom.
