WOODWORKING QUIZ for 2 Oct 04

[Ralph Jones]

Good Evening Friends,
You have been contracted to make office cubicles, with the stipulation that they can be rearranged in a short time for a growing office force.

What would be you methods of construction?

Respectfully,

Actually Ralph, I've been through this one several times, and even though the theory of unbolt and re-use looks terrific, and you go through the exercise of buying proprietry screens, or making ply/mdf versions and so on. In sheer economics terms, it's cheaper to build 'em out of timber framing, sheet them with plasterboard, then throw 'em away and do it again next time.

True!

Good Evening Friends,
Biting Midge, I agree with you whole heartedly but, there are those who want to play musical cubicles and make changes several times in a year. I have made them using bed rail connections top and bottom, stud and cam lock method and in some cases even used a dovetail connection but, all worked well because when you have them all installed they seem to support each other well enough that when you slide a desk and file cabinets against them the stay put.

Thanks for your support.

Respectfully,
