-Nailed seating furniture with three connecting restrictions: a) it is a bench; b) all furniture is made of the same type of boards; c) it uses [[constructions with nails|hammer and nail]] as joinery technique. We are 13 participants in our class and will work on furniture in groups of two students each, one group of three students. Thus there will be a total of 6 benches.
+====== Nailed seats ======
+Benches and a table for the presentation of the seminar [[on hammers and sandcastles]] and the [[Rundgang]] at the HfG. In the future this furniture can be used for any kind of sitting.
+All furniture will be characterized by two connecting restrictions: a) it is build of the same type of board; and b) it uses [[constructions with nails|hammer and nail]] as joinery technique. The students work in groups of two on planning and building a bench (or several) per group. Each group has a given set of 10 boards (2,4 x 12 x 250 cm). Additionally we will build one table which will be a nailed copy of the "[[Eiermann]]"-table.
+**For the work on your design and construction, please note…**
+  - Start your design from one //basic idea// and work on a sketch. \\
+  - Once the sketch is done, draw it again focusing on //technical feasability//, //structural stability//, //economic use of wood//. This second step is always very benificial for your design. \\
+  - For inspiration and technique see [[constructions with nails]] and [[average as measurement|average seating measurements]]. \\
+  - Try to use as little wood as possible; leftover wood can be used for other and future projects. \\
+  - The sawn wood is rather rough, consider some sanding.
+**To prepare for the construction…**
+For the construction of your furniture, you need a drawing and notes with at least the following information:
+  - A visual understanding of your furniture object. \\
+  - A list of all its composing pieces and their respective dimensions. \\
+  - Where are its pieces placed and how do they join together. \\
+  - Your drawings can be made by hand or computer. \\
+  - Create a page on this wiki for your design/plans and reference it in the list of furniture projects below.
+For example on the page of the [[Enzomann]] table you will find a {{ :ohs_enzomann.02.20250625.01.pdf |plan (.pdf)}} with all necessary elements for construction:
+  - A top, side and front view. \\
+  - Dimensions and placement of all composing pieces. \\
+  - A list of all pieces with dimensions. \\
+  - A plan of how all pieces can be cut out of 2,5m long wooden boards (on page 2).
+**What to bring…**
+  - Your plans (see above). \\
+  - Your [[hammer_handles|hammer]]. \\
+  - Clothes fit for wood working. \\
+  - Pencils and measuring tape (if you have any).

-Each group will have 8 boards (2,4 x 12 x 250 cm) and nails at their disposal. The boards are sawn wood, thus they are not smooth (planed or sanded). To have an idea of the available amount of wood; those 10 boards would be sufficent to build one //Tavolo Rettangolare// by Enzo Mari (see [[constructions with nails]]). You don't have to use all the wood; any excess wood could be used for other future projects.
