the road ahead

i everyone, I hope the holidays went well. We certainly had a great summer and I am sure we all now realise the luxury of cooled air on a hot day. The Master Joiners have a membership of over 300 Joinery factories (growing every year), we are a significant part of our industry and are of course the only united voice of Joinery and Cabinetry manufacturing in NZ. In consequence to this growth we are needing to re look at our organisation, how we are structured and where we are headed, this will see much needed changes and will be very positive for the road ahead. It is obvious that the Master Joiners Executive (the current 10 regional presidents, past president and several associated committee members) have been putting a great deal of time and effort into the NZS:4211 tested timber joinery programme over the past many years. This has been necessary for the advancement of exterior timber joinery, especially with regard to being accepted as a serious option for new houses or additions. Architects for their own liability will require any exterior building element they specify to be tested for air and water leakage, which in our case is the NZ Standard of 4211 - Specification for the performance of windows. JMF NZ is growing as a stand-alone business and I have great faith that moving forward under the guidance of Andrew Long (JMF NZ Operations Manager) and the JMF NZ Directors, that less of our time will be needed for this and we can start to look at other areas of the Master Joiners that require new attention or better focus.

Another example is interior joinery such as kitchens, wardrobes, stairs, doors and counters. These are all a large part of our industry and will start getting some more focus where possible. There are some new proposals in the offing for cabinetmaking members that will hopefully be of benefit and may enhance your business. I am sure you will consider them. Conference is in Auckland this year that's exciting, as usual there will be plenty of informative speakers, new products and information available. Also the Master Joiners Awards will be there for the taking make sure you're entered if you've recently completed a spectacular project – your fellow Joiners would like to see the photos and discuss it. The large amounts of work available have certainly continued on from last year and here's hoping it continues for a lot longer. Good luck with your current and future projects. Anthony Neustroski National President Registered Master Joiners

Culture trumps everything

pecialising in high quality exterior and interior timber windows and doors typically for residential new buildings and renovations, McNaughton Windows & Doors Ltd in Auckland has been in business for eighty years. Recently the McNaughton family entrusted their life’s work into the capable hands of Andrew Riley. With a team of forty and many jobs on the go at any one time, Andrew knows that to build a productive team the most important pieces of the puzzle are workplace culture and making sure people are motivated. He says, “For a happy workplace, culture trumps everything. While the goal is more about respect for each other than friendship, the two are not necessarily exclusive of one another.” For Andrew, his team are also his friends. He says, “Empowering the right people within your business means they will work out together what needs doing. We team likeminded people up together. The apprentices gather each Tuesday at 7 am with the Factory Lead and me, and we share their successes. Even more powerfully, they are willing to share their mistakes and identify their own coaching requirements at these sessions. “We’ve identified a group within the business who are our ‘masters’. These people hold regular masters clinics on topics ranging from how to set up, maintain and sharpen a buzzer, through to how to select and optimise timber.” Teamwork goes hand-in-hand with leadership at McNaughtons, and these are the two things management talks about most. Andrew says, “Team members develop with a mix of on-the-job and impromptu coaching where experienced joiners play an active role in coaching, and less experienced joiners value that experience and enjoy learning. Individuals are also challenged to rotate through different departments, depending on what skills they are interested in gaining and what will lead to the best result for our customers. “The right people shape the culture, and when the culture is good, people stay. Naturally, things ebb and flow a bit, and often someone with courage will step up and challenge the leadership team to do things differently. It’s our job to listen and react.” For more stories about legendary bosses like Andrew Riley visit mybosslegend.nz 

New products hitting the market

PUBLISHER Bob Nordgren bob@joiners.net.nz

have noticed a swarth of new products coming on the market in recent times. A good sign for the industry and of course for the consumer. We have several of these products in this issue from NZ Panels, Laminex NZ, Parex Industries, Sage Doors, DBNZ Coatings and Brightlight (an insert) to name a few. It is also a good sign for the economy as a whole. I have been especially interested in the product now available in the LED lighting field. We have a good feature on this involving some of the leading suppliers in this field. In the machinery world, for the last few decades, CNC has been at the heart of progress toward production being faster and more efficient while allowing manufacturers to create a greater range of product. CNC is of course intimately involved with the use of software. To have a real Rolls Royce you need a real Rolls Royce motor. The never ending race matching software to machines and their ever evolving uses is alive and well. We have a good look at both the latest in CNC machinery and software with a slant toward the process in selecting the right machine for the job at hand. I note we have some interesting stories on the shopfit scene in this regard. Every now and then I make a plug for the many columns we have in the magazine. They are all really worth reading and I can’t thank our contributors enough: in particular Geoff Hardy (Due Process) and Ian Featherstone . A recent series of columns about the wood industry and related subjects from Daan Olthuis at Tunnicliffes is also worth a good look as well as the material we get from oganisations like BCITO (which now incorporates JITO) and the Master Joiners are very valuable contributions. The educative role the magazine plays cannot be underrated and all the contributors add to this notion. There is plenty going out there at the moment as well. Business appears to be progressing well across the board. It will be interesting to see what is on offer later in the year at AWISA 2018 in Sydney. We have some more coverage of this important show in this issue. The other event of note is of course the Master Joiners Conference being held in Auckland this year. Should be a big one too!

NZ Panels Group extends warranties from 7 to 10 years New Zealand Panels Group is pleased to announce it has extended its product warranties on all melamine, acrylic and laminate panels to 10 years. The change applies to those products supplied under the Bestwood, Prime Panels and Dezignatek brands. Chief Executive Lou Cadman said that the company's new purpose-built site in East Tamaki had led to significant quality improvements over the past year as new plant and processes had been introduced. "This is especially true of our acrylic production which is now made in a state-of-the-art clean room facility, using the latest German technology, and with meticulous attention to quality." He said high confidence in the product quality from New Zealand Panels Group made the decision to extend the warranties an easy one. The new warranties came into effect from 15 February and apply to all melamine, acrylic and laminate products supplied since January 2018.

the biggest AWISA ever The AWISA 2018 exhibition, taking place at Sydney’s brand new multi-level ICC Sydney Exhibition Centre, is the biggest AWISA ever. ICC Sydney is a combined convention centre, exhibition centre and theatre complex that covers three city blocks. AWISA 2018 occupies 28,000 square metres of space at the venue. ICC Sydney is built on the site of the previous Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, the venue for AWISA exhibitions from 1992 to 2012. The ICC Sydney Exhibition Centre is of an unusual design, with the exhibition halls being on two levels. AWISA had initially booked all of the lower level halls, the equivalent of the total area used in Melbourne for AWISA 2016, and the only way to expand the show ﬂoor plan was to book space on the upper level. Fortunately AWISA is a show that has a natural split along product lines.

Valentine’s Day launch at Parex To help launch their new Italian made Multitap product (a kettle and mixertap in one, part of the insinkerator range) Parex industries in association with the National Kitchen & Bathroom Association (NKBA) held a delightful Italian themed breakfast at their showroom in Henderson, Auckland on Valentine’s Day. Introduced by Parex Marketing Manager Tim Meyer, guests got acquainted with the Multitap product that comes in three contemporary Italian designs known as Lia, Uso and Juno along with other product already distributed by Parex from Schweigen (premium silent rangehoods) and of course Insikerator (waste disposal units). The function sees local distributor Parex Industries strike out with yet another quality range of European made kitchen ﬁtments. The expresso, pizza and bubbles along with the spot prizes went down well guys! For more go to page 36.

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 10

AWISA Wood & Panel Processing, the machinery part of the show, will remain on the lower level. AWISA has booked two halls on the upper level for AWISA-Design. This ensures that there are 'headline' exhibitors on both levels, and for AWISADesign exhibitors there are the added beneﬁts of a quieter and dust-free show, and a show that will be more attractive to the design community.

Sensys & Intermat Hettich has developed a new hinge catalogue to include all concealed hinges (both Sensys and Intermat), as well as specialty hinges and push to open mechanisms for handle less fronts. Hinges by Hettich are an elegant design with fully integrated silent system. The award winning range provides unbeatable solutions for any range of cabinetry or furniture. Innovative and reliable, these untiring performers are top quality with smart mounting and adjustment techniques. The perfect connection between door and carcase at all times with or without soft-closing function. Whether glass, metal, wood or lightweight material the range includes the ideal hinge for every material and almost every application.

AWISA 2018 will be one of the largest trade shows to ever take place in Australia, at a new venue that has all the location advantages of the old venue – close to Sydney’s CBD and to transport links, close to hotels, restaurants, and evening entertainment. Visitors are asked to register. This can be done on-site, but it is preferred that they pre-register through www.awisa.com. Admission is free. AWISA operates a free shuttle bus service from Sydney airport’s domestic terminals. New Zealand visitors can connect to the AWISA shuttles by taking the airport shuttle from the international terminal to the domestic terminals. Shuttles run every half hour from the Qantas group coach bays to the east of the Qantas terminal, T3. For more information visit www.awisa.com.

Rakes & Drones Hideaway Bins went to the beach to create images for their latest product launch. They worked with West Auckland artist David Hilliam (https://www.instagram.com/ beachtagger/) to produce a large scale mural at Karekare beach. He produced the artwork based on a sketch simply using a rake over the course of 2.5 hours on Waitangi Day. He then captured images and video using a drone. For more go to page 38.

soft touch, edgetape, Napier branch With a new year comes a lot of change and there seems to be a lot going on at Laminex New Zealand right now. Following on from my last update, a lot has happened towards the end of 2017 and the first couple of months into 2018, with more to come. At the end of February, we opened a new branch in Napier to accommodate a bigger showroom. Our new site at 50 Niven Street, allows us to showcase more of our products, Caesarstone® and Melteca® to name a few. If you’re in the neighbourhood, stop in and say hello to the team and see what we have to offer. Into the market this month, we launched our new ABS edgetape. It’s available in selected Formica and Laminex laminate colours. With great depth of colour, it’s sleek and provides a softer yet durable impact resistant edge, ideal for spaces where increased contact may occur. ABS edgetape is available in over 30 different colours, 53mm width and 1mm thickness, allowing it to blend into the benchtop to create clean uninterrupted lines. These can be supplied as either unglued or pre-glued. If you’d like more details contact your local Laminex NZ sales representative. In April we will be launching Melteca® Acrylic Soft Touch panels that are available in eight solid matte colours. The panels are super smooth to touch, anti-fingerprint with superior durability; it’s perfect for vertical application use in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and commercial applications. The team and I are looking forward to visiting EuroCucina in Milan this April. Now in its 22nd year, the event doesn’t disappoint as the leading trade kitchen fair in the industry showcasing innovative companies and their designs from France, Italy, Germany, Austria and more. All the exhibits at EuroCucina embody contemporary design, technological innovation, next generation performance, energy efficiency and ease of use. Upon our return we’ll be in touch sharing key insights, new colours, materials and trends with you.

Michael Bangs receives his belt.

black belt tribute Auckland Master Joiners Association, Secretary, Michael Bangs is an active member of the Auckland Seido Karate Club, he is there go to person for any maintenance on any equipment or property as well as being a coach / instructor for their junior members. I was invited by Michael to attend his Black Belt grading, Michael has been learning Karate for 12 years with his goal to become a Black Belt in his sport. I know how hard Michael trained for this and was both humbled and honoured to be able to witness such a display of discipline and endurance, something that not a lot of people who are not involved in this type of sport would ever get the see. I would estimate there were 60 club members present to watch and participate in Michaels grading, he had to welcome every member individually to the day in Japanese followed by being able to show many displays of kicks, punches, moves in the order requested in Japanese by his instructor followed by a routine of live self defence moves with follow Karate members being his attacker. Once Michael had completed this part of his grading he had to get through forty, 90 second consecutive ﬁghts against yellow belt, brown belt and black belt members, this took about 1 1/2 hours of what I would describe as pure endurance, these guys gave nothing away. At the end of his grading which took around 4 hours an exhausted Michael Bangs was awarded his Black Belt. Michael along with everybody present on the day was unbelievably proud of his achievements. Good on you Michael and I look forward to witnessing your second Black Belt one day. Cheers Dave Cunningham

First Fish caught by Da from Mattson Joinery.

Fishing day out a real winner The (now) annual day fishing trip for Auckland JMA members and friends held in mid February out of Westhaven in Auckland Harbour attracted about 50 keen fishers who headed for the Rangitoto Channel off Waiheke Island for a day of fishing (along with drinking and eating!).

2017 SICAM reﬂects sector revival

Biesse Group Sydney fourth campus

BIESSE is evolving from a business dedicated to the production of machines and systems to a company that oﬀers advanced services and assistance to its customers. To improve their performance and productivity their mission is to look to the future, but above all, to anticipate it. To advance their service BIESSE Group ﬁrst opened a dedicated new-age showroom in Charlotte (USA), then Pesaro (Italy), Dubai (UAE) in November 2017 and now, Sydney Australia. BIESSE will open their fourth ‘Campus’ when the leading supplier of machinery for wood, stone, glass and advanced materials moves to their new, purpose-built 5,000 square metre ‘Oceania’ facility at Wetherill Park (Sydney) in March.

nce more, SICAM the international show for furniture components and accessories did not fail to meet expectations in 2017, with more exhibitors and more visitors compared to the last edition. The leading players of the global furniture industry met up at Pordenone, Italy, confirming the positive trend that is continuing in the sector at international level. Pordenone saw the arrival of 7,765 visitors from 99 foreign countries, as well as Italy, with an increase of over 5% from the previous edition continuing a trend of steady growth for SICAM. Carlo Giobbi, the organiser of the event, revealed, “Our objective is to provide the best working conditions for all who come to the trade fair. Therefore, we always try to provide a positive and balanced environment that attracts both exhibitors and visitors, continued growth over the last few editions indicates we are getting that balance right ”. The 2017 edition of SICAM saw the presence of all leading international brands with new products and innovations that will guide upcoming global product trends. Italy was the most represented country, with approximately 72% of exhibiting enterprises and 69% of visitors. Visitors from abroad measured 31% with a significant increase in attendance from Asian countries (25% of foreign visitors), including China, India and Iran. After some tough years, the Italian components and accessories sector (which is worth almost 4.5 billion euro) is experiencing a positive trend at international level and constantly aims to develop markets which is the characteristic feature of SICAM according to Carlo Giobbi. “In this regard, I think it is particularly significant that one of the event’s main targets, are international designers and interior architects this year making up 9%, with another 9% recorded for technical and production managers. The category that is most represented at SICAM continues to be the decision-makers. Indeed, as many as 37% of visitors were owners or managing directors of companies; top management, who have the final say on acquisition strategies and decisions”. The next edition of Sicam is set to run from the 16th to the 19th of October. The organisers have already received numerous attendance requests from new companies who attended last year as visitors and, in addition, a high level of reconfirmation is expected from last years 583 exhibitors, with a constant of around 90% of participants reconfirming in recent years. 

Two years of industry training may be possible with no financial input required from either you, as an employer, or your apprentice

Now is the best opportunity you’ll ever have to provide training and support and upskill your staﬀ.

free fees for apprenticeships M

ost of the talk in the media about the Government’s new fees free initiative has been about school leavers intending to go to university, who will get one year’s free tuition fees. Not many employers in the construction sector realise this initiative extends to apprenticeships for not one, but two years.

Best reason to train an apprentice in 2018 Fees Free is a new Government scheme to encourage more New Zealanders into formal study, learning or training. From 1 January 2018, industry training is fees free for the first two years of an apprenticeship for eligible first-time learners and apprentices enrolling in eligible programmes,who begin their training in 2018. Learners can begin their training at any time in 2018 and be eligible for the following 24 months fees free. At BCITO this covers all fees associated with the first two years of an apprenticeship including off-job training (if required), night classes, assessment fees and resources. No financial input required to start Two years of industry training may be possible with no financial input required from either you, as an employer, or your apprentice if they’re an eligible candidate enrolled in an approved programme. This increased investment in industry training will help ensure that both our current and future workforce have the skills required to underpin sustainable growth and

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 18

development within our industry, while also alleviating the skills shortages New Zealand is currently facing. It goes without saying that this can only happen if you, as employers, are willing to take on more staff or train existing team members. The fees free scheme is the Government’s helping hand for you as an employer in this regard. Existing employees may be eligible Do you have staff working for you right now who have never undertaken any formal postsecondary school training who may qualify for fees free? Although primarily aimed at school leavers, any New Zealander might be eligible. Even some people on work visas may also be eligible. Your company’s reputation for quality work is underpinned by the skills of the people you employ. Now is the best opportunity you’ll ever have to provide training and support and upskill your staff with the Government’s support. You’ll be building a strong, capable and reliable team by providing your people with the opportunity to be proud to call themselves qualified professionals – a brilliant marketing tool for your business. Grow your people power The Government’s fees free initiative might be an opportunity to expand your company by taking on a new team member and train them to a professional standard courtesy of the Government for the first two years.

product, productivity & budget John Fleet alongside a 7 axis ‘CMS POWER’ CNC from SCM Group

Auckland based Machines R Us represent the SCM Group, Italy’s largest manufacturer in the woodworking sector. We asked owner John Fleet for some comments on what representing SCM in New Zealand means for his company and his clients. SCM Group is a technological world leader in processing a wide variety of materials: wood, plastic, glass, stone, metal and composites. The Group companies, operate throughout the world, and are reliable partners of leading businesses in various market sectors, including furniture, construction, automotive, aerospace, ship-building and plastic processing industries. SCM Group coordinates, supports and develops a system of industrial excellence in 3 large highly specialized production centres, employing more than 3,500 workers and operating on all 5 continents.

Machines R Us partnered with this Italian industrial giant are able to draw on product specialists to reliably inform, supply and support our New Zealand customers. When we look at the wood industry, generally speaking, the New Zealand market is broken into two areas, those working panelised products like MDF for kitchens or oﬃce furniture and those working in solid wood, eg; timber joinery, stairs and wooden furniture. In general terms the things we ask our customers are : What is the product? The needs of a kitchen manufacturer wanting to process 60 sheets a day is quite diﬀerent to that of a door manufacturer wanting a CNC machine for locks, handles and hinges to that of a high end furniture manufacturer making solid wood tables and chairs. What is the required productivity? Is a stand alone nesting machine able to produce the required production with a single operator? Or is automatic loading/unloading required? Does the customer have plans for the future with automated warehousing? Should we consider multiple machines to achieve the numbers? Would a 5 axis CNC

help the furniture manufacturer in designing and making new products that a nesting machine could never achieve? What is the budget? Will I make increased profits by investing in CNC technology? Will this CNC investment improve the quality to my customers? Will it make my business more competitive? These are simple points to follow, and they form the framework of the consultation process from our sales people to any of our customers. What I would say to any potential client is to look at what we can offer with SCM Group. We cover the total spectrum of CNC machines in the woodworking sector, nesting, work centres, 5 axis, drilling, warehousing and so on. SCM Group produce the metal castings in their own foundries, they produce their own spindles, their own steel frames. In fact they are one of very few companies with full “Vertical Manufacturing”, this means they have total internal control over the manufacturing process. This is quite different to the outsourced assembly plants so prevalent of our competitors today.

“The ‘CMS POWER’ CNC from SCM Group, recently installed at a plastics company in Auckland, features a 5 axis spindle with twin tables and a servo rotary lathe. Highly specified and another example of how we can help our New Zealand customers.” John Fleet

Only with a large range of CNC machines and the supporting knowledge of SCM Group with over 60 plus years of manufacture can the consultancy process said to be unbiased in terms of CNC choice. SCM Group welcome visitors to their factories across Italy at any time, where you can see ﬁrst hand manufacturing at its ﬁnest.

tech directions Simon Hornby, National Sales Manager, W & R Jacks What are the main factors driving CNC technology? In my opinion there are a combination of factors driving CNC technology in the woodworking industry. The most typical are a desire to improve efficiency and gain a competitive manufacturing advantage. It helps that the investment required for CNC technology has decreased as the technology has become more widespread. Secondary factors such as a shortage of skilled labour, the need to attract younger staff, and relative ease of use when compared with the early years CNC machinery, have also assisted in bringing through the technology at a faster pace than might otherwise have been the case. Why is there such a wide range and choice? I guess it’s similar to the evolution curve of other new technology in that as the technology becomes more prevalent, machinery manufacturers look to find a point of difference. As the price of servo motors and drives etc decrease, machinery manufacturers are identifying more areas on machines whereby the cost vs. benefit ratio will justify using CNC technology. Also, efficiencies in machinery production have meant it’s possible for manufacturers to build a wider range of models to cater to specific areas of industry. We find ourselves now offering CNC technology for all manner of industries and materials; from CNC-equipped high-speed moulders for decorative panels through to machines designed specifically for machining aluminium, plastics, engineered wood, uPVC, even semi-finished walls for timber-framed houses. CNC – and the associated growth in CAD-CAM software packages – has given many Kiwi businesses the ability to offer a broader range of products without significant extra investment in machinery or staff. With the emergence of a factory-based approach to panel handling and processing, has the market matured and how has this affected the smaller operator? With regards to flat-bed nesting CNC machines and the various handling systems before and after the CNC machine, this technology has probably reached maturity. I do believe however that we have a long way to go with regards to handling systems and automated storage systems. As robotic technology becomes more affordable, easier to program and more flexible in its applications, we’ll eventually see this technology trickle through to small and medium sized operations. Automation, particularly with regards to setting up units on edgebanders still has some way to go on the smaller machines. There will be a day when each unit, even on entry level edgebanders will be adjusted with a PLC controlled stepper motor drive. What influences do you see on the direction of CNC technology? As mentioned earlier, robotics and handling systems are the most obvious areas where new technology has a significant role to play in the future of our industry. The Manufacturing 4.0 digital revolution will be on the radar of larger organisations. IOT (Internet of Things) technology will vastly improve manufacturers’ ability to review the past and plan ahead. The capability to accurately calculate costs through machine utilisation data, and monitor the production progress on the fly, will feel like a new light has been turned on for business owners. Production managers will be better equipped to plan and make last minute adjustments to production schedules, prevent machine breakdowns through monitoring the condition of machines and their critical components, schedule machine maintenance through direct links to service and tooling suppliers. These are just a taste of some of the benefits that are on the immediate horizon. 

CNC’s for panel, solid wood ... (cont.) Capable of processing any corner joints, longitudinal contour processing, drilling, shaping and insert shaping, the Conturex also has precise positioning with the clamping table, high flexibility with a tool storing rack and a selection of options to suit any application. For CNC processing of composites, plastics, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals and uPVC, Jacks represent manufacturers offering plenty of options. Yilmaz machines have been available in New Zealand through Jacks for 5 years now and have established a reputation for accurate and reliable processing. Made in Turkey, Yilmaz blend European quality with Asian pricing. Coming soon, Jacks will present a Yilmaz, 3-axis CNC controlled machining centre for processing aluminium & PVC profiles. An automatic clamp positioning feature and magazine unit holding 8 tool-units allow for the of placing 2 aggregate tools and 1 milling saw to perform machining on 5 sides of the workpieces. Equally popular with those manufacturing in aluminium or other non-ferrous metals, AscentPro CNC machines are in use in boatbuilding, garage door production, sign-making and other specialist industries. The wide variety of bed sizes combined with the flexibility to specify gantry height, spindle power, add drilling heads and lubrication cooling units etc make AscentPro CNC machines ideal for a huge range of processing tasks. From Italy, the Casadei Industria ALU Ranger is a vertical flat-bed CNC machining centre. The ALU Ranger is ideal for processing Alucabond, aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. The vertical orientation of the processing bed not only saves a huge amount of space in the workshop but also means abrasive swarf falls onto the floor eliminating the risk of scratching subsequent panels. Covering both panel and solid wood, Weinmann offer CNC solutions for both prefabricated housing production and beam processing. Made in Germany, Weinmann machines are already in use building prefab wall elements for housing at a production facility outside of Christchurch, and processing glulam, LVL and CLT panels in Auckland and Nelson. With handling solutions designed around their 5-axis CNC saws and multi-function CNC bridges, Weinmann machines are already playing a significant part in this country’s construction industry. A CNC machine relies on front-end software to maximise its potential. While many of the manufacturers discussed above offer software to suit their machines, most CNC’s offered by Jacks are also compatible with common industry CAD/CAM packages. Jacks work with a range of software providers to deliver complete packages to suit your specific CNC manufacturing requirements. Jacks can also offer a range of software solutions such as PRO100 Cabinet Design software and APSAN. Paired together, these software packages are in use with many cabinet makers throughout NZ. 

A quiet achiever making workplaces safe Anyone working with tools and machinery knows safety needs to be top of mind in every workplace. A construction site is inherently dangerous – and noisy. The sound of a busy construction site, workshop or factory – sounds like achievement and progress. However, occupational hearing loss is a serious hazard in the noisy construction industry. In New Zealand, the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) requires workers not to be exposed to peak noise levels of 140db or over. While not set in law, Worksafe guidelines suggest the average exposure over an 8-hour work day shouldn’t be over 85db. Read more at https://worksafe. govt.nz/topic-and-industry/noise/ noise-in-construction/ This is in line with Europe’s Safety and Health at Work Directive 89/391/EEC that’s been in place since the late 80s. The directive requires employers to issue personal protection equipment to workers assigned to machines with noise emissions over 80db. As we learn how to minimise occupational hearing loss, the need for better noise control measures increases. ‘Buying quiet’ – substituting noisy machinery for quieter models is one way we can make workplaces safer. Now, new Italian technology is here to help New Zealanders ‘buy quiet’.

Patented Freud Low Noise Sawblades Freud SpA, based in Italy, is the world’s largest saw blade manufacturer. They’ve put their considerable expertise and research into developing a new technology that sound proofs its blades. This patented technology has been proven to lower sound emission of the fine chip sawblade to below 80db. How it works Unique anti-vibration reeds are laser cut into the blade body. Then, a special essential thermoplastic polyurethane compound is injected into the slots to provide sound dampening and vibration absorption. This stabilises the blade and practically eliminates lateral movement of the blade against the material, resulting in a quieter, smoother cut and a longer cutting life; a blade that is much nicer to use. Silver ICE Coating This is a high performance anticorrosive coating, approximately 6 microns thick which is bonded to the whole body of the blade. It is extremely effective thanks to its non-stick features, which greatly improves chip ejection and reduces the resin build up close to the tips. This coating, complemented by the noise cancelling effect, means the blade experiences reduced stress while cutting - enhancing overall performance.

The Vantech 480 B is perfectly suits as an entry level CNC machine and therefore, is ideal for small workshops such as RMW Joinery.

“It’s a reliable machine, easy to operate and simply delivers,” says Raymond Wiki.

Increased production ﬂow

Homag Vantech 480 B Quality joinery from Sydney’s Inner West The entry-level nester is just the right ﬁt for RMW Joinery who moved into new premises in Peakhurst three years ago. They manufacture in a 300 square metre factory located in Sydney’s Inner West and service all surrounding suburbs. They work on architectural projects, commercial and retail installs as well as high end house ﬁt-outs.

RMW Joinery aspires to become well known for their attention to detail and punctuality when completing jobs. The Sydney-based company caters for specific niche joinery requirements that are more difficult to achieve for standard joiners. “Our work is of the highest quality and there is no job which is unachievable,” said owner Raymond Wiki. To meet his expectations he saw the need to invest in new machinery. With the Vantech 480 B from HOMAG, RMW Joinery purchased a state of art CNC nesting machine which is perfectly suitable as an entry level CNC machine and ideal for small workshops such as RMW. To increase productivity and profitability it is essential to cut down labour costs through a reduction of assembly times.“It’s hard to find good workers these days and we got too busy so we had to compensate the workload by getting new machinery in,” said Raymond. HomagVantech 480 B - reliable performance Choosing the CNC was a no-brainer decision as Raymond says: “Any good joinery I know owns a Homag machine. That speaks for itself. I don’t muck around.” Installed just last year, the Vantech 480 has brought real value to the business. “It’s a reliable machine, easy to operate and simply delivers,” Raymond says. “Also the training we’ve received on the machine was very informative.”

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 28

The basic machine of Homag’s Vantech edition comes in heavy steel gantry for high precision cut quality which cannot be matched by light weight aluminium gantries. Fast and accurate drilling is guaranteed by a patented drilling spindle clamping, and all sensitive electronics are housed in a separate control tower with filtered air conditioning to ensure long life. Additionally, a full start up tooling kit is included, which comes with drills and diamond tooling. To ensure the best possible extraction and focused extraction, additional air jets under the hood are key benefits of the Vantech series. The Vantech is also available in different sizes; it can be ordered as a stand-alone centre or with additional auto loading/unloading and automatic label printing.

Raymond has set himself a clear goal: “I want to grow the business and belong to the top end of medium sized companies in Sydney.” Together with the new Homag Vantech and Ambition 1220C edgebander, these targets are realistic. RMW Joinery has increased productivity and production ﬂow. “The two machines are both great. The more research I did, the more I was sure that there’s only one machine supplier you should go with if you are looking for quality and reliability.” 

Leitz ProﬁlCut Q Premium. The fastest proﬁle tooling system in the industry.

Leitz ProfilCut Q Diamond in a new dimension The new Leitz replaceable knife cutter head system ProfilCut Q Diamond sets pioneering new standards in machine processing. ProfilCut Q Diamond is a unique combination of an ultralight aluminium tool body and resharpenable profile knives. This enables constant diameter diamond cutting, guaranteeing higher efficiency and maximum productivity and profitability. This advanced technical innovation begins with a new diamond cutting edge made from the hardest material on earth: polycrystalline diamond (PKD). This ensures the precise processing of high-end and abrasive materials with exact repeatability and no loss of performance. After repeated sharpening, the diameter and profile of the edge remains unchanged. The Leitz ProfilCut Q Diamond can be sharpened five times, and with a 20 times longer performance time provides significant cost savings in comparison to disposable carbide systems. The performance continues with the dynamics of the tool body’s aluminium light weight construction and the clamping system has been designed for maximum peripheral speed. The coating effectively reduces impact, friction and heat generation. Even at a maximum cutting speed of 120 meters per second, the system produces first-class finish quality due to reduced vibration. The increased speed also allows faster feed rates with the same number of teeth, enabling higher productivity.

The option of uncomplicated knife change in the set is another unique selling point of ProfilCut Q Diamond. The Leitz engineers also have included a handling benefit when designing the new ProfilCut Q Diamond. The diamond knives can be exchanged by the user on site. The knives are independently clamped axially and radially free of tolerances and without adjustment devices. The clamping system ensures precise repeatability after each knife change. This saves in both time and costs. Even for complex toolsets, all edges are accessible without any problems as the tool is not required to be taken out of the machine.

Better production results Nestled down in Gisborne is joiner and kitchen manufacturer Tony Sharp and his business Kitchen Zone. With some 40 years in the trades Tony has come to focus on the kitchen manufacturing side of things since he established Kitchen Zone back in 2005 with his wife Lynda. Bob Nordgren from JOINERS Magazine spoke with Tony about the reasons behind his recent acquisition of a AT25/13 CNC Flatbed Router from Proform CNC Ltd and what it has meant for his business. “We manufacture largely bespoke kitchens which can take up a lot of time.” explains Tony “ With some six staff we need to be as efficient as we can to keep up with demand which has been really solid in recent years. I had been looking at the subject of utilising CNC but it just looked too expensive. When I looked at the CNC flatbed from Steve Fifield at Proform CNC Ltd it met the criteria I had been looking for: it was the right size for our operation with a small footprint (1500mm x 3000mm), it was easy to operate for all our staff and most importantly it was really well priced against it’s competitors.” The machine has a table size of 1220 by 2440mm so handles standard sheets of MDF and particle board with a user friendly PC control using a Windows operating system. “This machine

moving forward a lot quicker. We can service our clientele a lot more eﬃciently here in Gisborne with better production timeframes in what is a busy time in the kitchen scene. Steve (Fifield) has been excellent in his advice, the install process and ongoing maintenance of the ﬂatbed.”

Tony Sharp is enjoying his recent purchase from Proform.

is a solid worker with a really good main spindle as well as two high precision heavy duty drilling spindles.” comments Tony. “A nicety of the machine are the five heavy duty pneumatically activated locator stops that make for accurate and eﬀortless positioning of each work piece.

This machine gets used as and when in what is a just in time operation. It has improved our productivity considerably since we put into operation - a very useful production addition.” Where do you see things going from here? “ I can see my business

You have a Hettich endorsed showroom facility as well. Has that made a diﬀerence for you? “Yes of course. Although we do joinery such as doors and windows we specialise in kitchen design, manufacture and install so having a major supplier such as Hettich on board is very handy in keeping us up with the play.” For more about Kitchen Zone contact Tony Sharp on 06 863 2044 or email kitchens2005@ orcon.net.nz

Having a CNC with us in Bermuda gave us the ability to respond and adapt quickly, we used it to prepare the moulds for all sorts of elements on the boat.

Emirates Team New Zealand Production Coordinator Martin McElwee in front of their AscentPro CNC.

on board in Bermuda In June 2017 Emirates Team New Zealand made the country proud, with a comprehensive victory in the 35th America’s Cup in Bermuda. Out on the Great Sound the racing was fast and furious, but there was just as much action back at the dock, where changes made by the Shore Team were crucial in getting the most out of the boat. W&R Jack Ltd were proud to be an official supplier to Emirates Team New Zealand as part of their challenge for the America’s Cup, specifically by providing CNC machining capability – an AscentPro ATC3015 – that went with the team to Bermuda. “Having a CNC with us in Bermuda gave us the ability to respond and adapt quickly” explains Partnership Manager, Tom Waterhouse. “We used the CNC to prepare the moulds for all sorts of elements on the boat: the daggerboard tips, the elevators on the rudder and all sorts of other bits and pieces. During the campaign designs got changed, things got broken, or worn, weather conditions varied. We could respond to all of this, and we did – quickly. It was our understanding the other teams didn’t have in-house CNC capability so the AscentPro gave our shore team an edge when it came to a fast turnaround for component changes or modifications.” Production Coordinator Martin McElwee had been the one to learn to use the CNC back at the Auckland base. Having identified the potential the machine offered, he suggested the CNC

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 32

would be useful in Bermuda. “We considered using a local resource over there, but it’s always better not to have to rely on outside help. Also, we’d got familiar with the AscentPro in Auckland, so taking it with us to Bermuda made sense – it gave us that independence.” Martin worked in SolidWorks and a cloudbased CAM software to drive the AscentPro. He did his training online, and a steep learning curve followed, including a few broken toolholders. “And quite a bit of dust in Bermuda!” laughs Sean Regan, who led the Shore Team. “Yes, we did have a bit of a dust issue when we set up in Bermuda” admits Sean. “But nothing a bit of kiwi ingenuity couldn’t cope with.” Kiwi ingenuity was a hallmark of much of Emirates Team New Zealand’s successful cup campaign. With significantly fewer financial resources than some of the other teams smart thinking was the order of the day. Simple strategies often made a difference: trimming the foils for example. The rules stated this must be manual, so Emirates Team New Zealand devised a simple screen with a moving dot for the foil trimmer to track with a basic videogame controller. The result: manual foiling, but with onboard data providing guidance. Creative thinking also helped get the most out of the CNC. At times the 180mm Z-axis height wasn’t enough for a mould, so multiple moulds were machined and bonded together. And Sean wasn’t going to let the 3 metre long bed size go to waste. “We often used the CNC as if it had two working zones,” he says. “While it

Moulds oﬀ the CNC.

was machining at one end we’d be preparing something else at the other. At times we were flat out so grabbed any opportunity we could to save time, and get the laminations into the mould and the finished components onto the boat.” With Emirates Team New Zealand back at temporary premises on Auckland’s waterfront, the AscentPro is one of the few things not in storage. “We’re catching a break before it all takes off early in 2018” says Tom. “Now the boat concept is agreed we’re writing the rules, working on a few things, and thinking about the trickle-down that will flow from these extreme monohulls. It’s amazing how the technology that goes into America’s Cup boats eventually shapes what you see on recreational boats out on the harbour. So it’s good to think about this as we set up for the next campaign.” In the meantime the workshop is reasonably quiet, and AscentPro is wired up, connected, and waiting - like the rest of us - for the next cup challenge. 

Hideaway Bins launch compostable bin liners

here is an increasing awareness of the environmental impact of plastic packaging, especially single use plastic shopping bags. Each year 100’s of tons of plastic packaging is dumped into landfills around New Zealand, which can take hundreds of years to decompose. Hideaway Bins firmly believe we all need to be accountable for our actions, and takes pride in responsibly recycling and re-using products to minimize the impact on our environment. Following 12 months of development and testing, Hideaway Bins is proud to announce the launch of 100% Compostable Bin Liners that have been engineered to suit Hideaway 15L and 20L buckets. Hideaway Compostable Bin Liners are made from a natural starch-based polymer derived

These bin liners are designed to be a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic bin liners and plastic shopping bags, and are safe for use in compost or landﬁll.

from corn, and are plastic free. The drawstrings are also manufactured using the same corn starch material, and the printing is done with water based eco-friendly inks. For a product to be classiﬁed as compostable, it must meet strict requirements according to Australian and European standards that define the time, environmental conditions and quality of compost produced.

Hideaway compostable bin liners will break down in a compost environment in approximately 90 days (depending on compost conditions such as temperature) similar to other organic waste. In moist conditions the liners degrade without leaving any harmful residues in the process, unlike biodegradable plastic which will break down into tiny plastic fragments.

Hideaway Compostable Bin Liners are engineered to be strong and durable, suitable for both household kitchen and commercial use. They are supplied in rolls of 20 liners, and are a perfect ﬁt for 15L and 20L Hideaway buckets.

including lighting in design In a recent interview with JOINERS Magazine, Simon Lount the Head of Category Management & Marketing at Hafele shed some light on LED development and applications for the Hafele LOOX lighting range, including sound arrangement. What is it about LED lighting that makes it so fashionable these days? In the past there has never been much thought about the inclusion of lighting in the kitchen, people just used to make-do with the lights in the room. The most you would see could be some fluorescent tubes mounted under the overhead cabinet that would flicker and eventually switch on! Now though that has all changed with the growth and affordability of LED lighting. Added to that is the fact that kitchen designers and architects see benefit in including lighting in their designs to maximise the look and feel of the kitchen, office, wardrobe and entertaining areas. LED lighting has become more of a statement and will turn a good kitchen in to an outstanding one – just like good kitchen design is important, so is good lighting. National bodies, such as the NKBA and Master Joiners, now have specific awards dedicated to the use of lighting in kitchens and Hafele are proud to sponsor these awards. There are many different versions and applications of LED lighting available. How do clients, commercial or residential, go about finding out what is best for them? The great thing about LED lighting is the ease of use and installation. Hafele’s LOOX lighting range encompasses this theory in that all

the three power versions (350ma, 12V and 24V) are designed and supplied in simple plug-and-play format. This makes it easy for clients and designers to view, specify and work out the best scenario and set-up for them. Through our range of LOOX catalogues, we offer the most comprehensive LED lighting range available and with all three ranges colour-coded, it is easy to navigate and select – and to make it even easier we now have the ‘Essentials’ range, every day and common lights that suit every application. Our website has the entire range shown Using LED lighting effectively is about design and functionality. What does Hafele offer that helps in making decisions about LED lighting? Our catalogues and brochures offer the easiest way to find the correct light, switch, driver and anything extra you may need. We also have a lighting ‘showroom’ on our website that displays the different shade of lights you can choose – warm or cool white – plus many different switching options.

This year Hafele will be launching two new initiatives around our LOOX lighting range; first a cut-to-size service for all our aluminium profiles and LED strip light. If a designer or manufacturer has a specific size they require they simply order it and we will provide it cut to their chosen length. Secondly we are looking at a full design service where we will take your design and suggest the light options that will work best – from there we will discuss it with the client before supplying the product all packed unique to that kitchen, wardrobe or other part of the home. LED is a rapidly developing product line. Where do you see the future for it? At Hafele we refer to our LOOX lighting range and everything included as “Smart Hafele”. This is because of the developments that Hafele have made - it isn’t just light we offer. For the last two years we have a Bluetooth Sound System – a small box that plugs in to the LOOX driver, is screwed to the cabinet which then becomes the speaker! Any Bluetooth-enabled device will connect and you can play radio, music or anything you choose through your kitchen cabinets! This year will see the introduction of the BLE box and “Hafele Connect APP”. This APP allows the user to operate lighting from their phone or tablet; the user can pre-set room lighting, dim lights

Even a thumb print or a speck of dust as sheets are stacked together can leave an indentation.

NZPG acrylic clean room production sets the benchmark Over the past nine months the manufacturing team at New Zealand Panels Group (NZPG) has been refining its acrylic production processes since it commissioned a new Burkle PUR laminating line. It’s now reached such a state of sophistication that Burkle is showcasing it to other clients as one of the best examples of high quality clean room production they’ve seen.

to indentations and contamination while it is curing. For that reason, NZPG doesn’t laminate the second side for 24 hours, ensuring the acrylic is fully cured before being handled again.

The line was initially used to make acrylic panels for Dezignatek, the premium door manufacturing business of NZPG, but production has rapidly expanded with the launch of gloss acrylic ranges under the Prime Panels and Bestwood brands, and now the introduction of a new matt acrylic range under Prime Panels.

The focus on cleanliness and eliminating impurities is everywhere throughout the line - a continuous belt of cleaning bristles from a Wandres micro-cleaning vacuum removes any dust and impurities from the MDF board prior to the acrylic being applied.

“Even a thumb print or a speck of dust as sheets are stacked together can leave an indentation. It’s why NZPG insists everyone working on the line wears protective gloves, masks and footwear. It’s also why the PUR lamination room is only accessible to the acrylic production team.”

Rollers with adhesive tape are used across the acrylic ﬁlm just before it is attached to the board and a second Wandres system makes a further pass over the acrylic after lamination to ensure a perfectly clean surface.

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 50

Control of the atmosphere within the clean room is managed by a Positive Air Pressure system with humidity carefully controlled for optimal curing and ﬁnishing. All acrylic panels are made to order but retained within the clean room until ready for dispatch – again ensuring optimal quality. Matt says the beneﬁts of NZPG having its own PUR line are immense, having previously been reliant on imported pressed panel that created issues in terms of delivery time, quality and challenges with suppliers unable to provide key colours. “An added bonus is the ability to use sustainably-sourced New Zealand substrates which are of a higher quality than many imported ones. We know that New Zealand joiners prefer the Kiwi substrates. “With the new PUR line we now have total confidence in our quality – another key reason we’re happy to have extended our warranty on acrylic to 10 years.” 

Everyone working on the line wear protective coveralls, gloves, masks and footwear.

Complete Construction spreads it’s wings

In the competitive world of high end fit out, joinery, cabinetmaking, furniture and commercial construction, Complete Construction based in Silverdale have become one of the leading companies. With the recent opening of their new facility in Airport Oaks near Auckland Airport with its emphasis on time and labour saving technology, the company has made a real statement about what they are capable of JOINERS Magazine spoke with company director Mat Hughes about the new facility, it’s role and the position of the company in the marketplace. Complete Construction, established in 2003, has made a name for itself pretty quickly particularly in the high end shop fit out and hospitality markets. Owned and operated by business partners Mat Hughes and Val Ager, it has grown to now employ some 75 staﬀ based in their Silverdale and more recently their newly opened Airport Oaks facility at 42 Richard Pearse Drive. With some 2400m2 the new facility offers scope for real expansion. “We expanded into the Airport Oaks site to grow our business and meet demand” comments Mat. From this site they operate packaging, cabinetmaking, board lamination and a storage facility. At the heart is the Homag Bargstedt storage system imported second hand from Europe. “This system can hold and distribute board product for both our Silverdale and Airport Oaks operations. It represents where technology is heading investment wise. If you are going to keep ahead and continue to meet your customer’s needs, you have to invest in new technology and machinery. With the younger team we have it gives us the ability to deliver quality product on time at competitive prices. It is part of our philosophy to give our team the tools to do the job the best they can yet be cost eﬀective at the same time.” comments Mat.

The Bargstedt storage system supports the just-in-time model and allows the benefits of high volume production to be combined with economical techniques for the making of smaller batch sizes. This is good for the lean production process and cash flow. Operations Manager Jason De Graaf explains “This leads to simple handling of a large variety of panels and the just-in-time model means no more over ordering and less inventory having to be carried. It’s efficient: the amount of board used is coordinated with the ordering system. There is complete inventory control.” The whole system has enhanced safety and space utilisation ie no forklift corridors with everything moved by gantry system. “What is really pleasing is the optimising of off cuts which reduces wastage. Machines are used to the maximum by means of automated transport in what is essentially an unmanned operation. Parts are measured in 2 axis automatically including their weight. With the user friendly interface and production sequence optimisation the whole system is a treat to use. We can even run a completely unmanned ghost shift overnight to set up the following day’s panel usage. All of this makes our operation very, very competitive so we can offer our clients the best in pricing.”

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 56

The Airport facility works in unison with the more traditional shopfitting operation up in Silverdale. Part of the value in the airport site is it closeness to the airport itself and the burgeoning international business now emerging for the company. “This has been the result of doing fitouts at the Airport itself as well as winning some overseas contracts in recent times.” says Mat. “The airport operation will become even more important as we look to do more in the way of larger fitouts around the country as it gives us far more capacity.” And what of the future for Complete Construction? “It has been a really busy expansion over the last 18 months so I see a period of consolidation of our gains to follow, where we look to fufill our clients needs first and foremost. We are fortunate to have a good mix of the latest in technology as well as some old school tradesmen providing the total range of skills we need to do just about any project that comes our way.”

Cabinet Pro proves s Cabinet Pro software for the Cabinet and Door Manufacturer has evolved since 1986 and is not only Simply Powerful in its features, but it is the most reasonably priced software in its class that is actually affordable! Cabinet Pro has been designed to solve common problems facing cabinet makers such as mistakes, inefficiency, lost time, and lost profits. Cabinet Pro can also solve problems of communication between you and your customer. How many times after a job was finished have your customers said they should have had a drawer bank here, or a shelf there, or that they did not expect their cabinets to look the way they ended up looking? With Cabinet Pro’s 3D design, you will be able to present professional drawings to your customers, letting them visualize what you will be building for them before the first piece of wood is cut. This in itself will avoid problems with your customers so that there are no surprises when the cabinets are finished and installed.

Simple Powerful Affordable

The dimensioned elevations in either inches or millimeters make it very clear as to what cabinets go where and how they are positioned in the job. And since too many dimensions can clutter the drawing, the cabinet maker may select those aspects of the elevation that should be dimensioned and those that should not be dimensioned.

Furniture manufacturer experiences bottom line improvements Ferndale Furniture, in Petone, has been manufacturing cabinetry, furniture, and joinery for clients throughout New Zealand for over 30 years. Throughout that time, they have continually invested in technology, enabling the firm to gain a reputation for professionalism and quality. Their latest purchase of Microvellum Software has them positioned to enhance their reputation further. Over the years, Ferndale had accumulated several different software applications to help with the various project requirements for design, engineering, and m a n u f a c t u r i n g . H o w e v e r, when the need to upgrade their equipment came, they felt it was time to re-evaluate their collection of software; they knew there had to be a better way to achieve the efficiency improvements they needed. “We were looking for a signiﬁcant productivity improvement to come with the purchase of new machinery, but recognised that our decision related to software would be vital in helping us achieve that,” says Ferndale Furniture Director Grant Macdonald. Ferndale products range from custom furniture to complex fit-outs. “We took advice from some of our experienced staff,

However, the team at Microvellum was great in terms of giving us advice and guiding us throughout the process.”

Daily user Doug Kraushaar agrees. “One of the main features that stand out in my mind is the ability to create a working 3D model of a project, check to make sure that the model works for the client, and make changes before it goes into production.

bespoke becomes standard Wedgerwood Joinery is one of the largest joinery factories in Central Otago specialising in the manufacture of all types of timber joinery. The bespoke nature of their work played a large part in their selection of Microvellum Software for their design and production methods. The company takes on a lot of kitchen projects where accompanying house lot joinery, vanities, shelving units, wardrobes, laundries are included – all requiring custom design and engineering. “The software we were using was outdated and not suﬃcient for our ever-changing requirements,” says Clint Eastwood, Wedgerwood’s CNC programmer. “Our old software didn’t suit the bespoke nature of our work and required a lot of manual input for each job. We needed a program that could easily be customised to our needs.” Clint began investigating the more popular software options available and decided to take Microvellum Software for a test drive. By using the full access trial version, where he had free rein to explore and familiarise himself with what the software was capable of, they soon

changing the program to suit and you are able to test those changes without corrupting the original system. You need some experience and guidance, but Microvellum is very responsive. I had six months to play with the program and I basically taught myself in that time, although Microvellum’s staﬀ are very accessible and lend a hand as the need arises. Their support and service teams respond to any queries very quickly.”

“We are now using Microvellum for design through to production,” says Clint. “It is ridiculously good at the production end, not just for its accuracy, but also its ability to remove the inherent problems in bespoke joinery – allowing even the complicated stuﬀ to be standardised. This leads to all sorts of improvements in speed of design, scheduling, production accuracy, and the reduction of material waste.” “We purchased Microvellum for its ability to be manipulated, to adjust for bespoke joinery – and that is what we are using it for - it’s working out well.” 

3D Kitchen software has improved Redwood Joinery’s production and profit.

3D transforms A change to nesting using 3D Kitchen software has seen an immediate boost in Redwood Joinery’s production capabilities and the Rotorua manufacturer is set to take advantage of that capability in the current buoyant market in the city. Redwood Joinery’s Managing Director Shane Edkins purchased 3d Kitchen’s Pro Toolpath version which is a full design to nesting package in the middle of last year, to replace his existing panel saw production method. “I realised we needed to upgrade the way we manufactured to improve productivity, stay competitive and keep current with contemporary methods, I had purchased a KDT CNC machine from Richard Van DerVegte at Prowood Machinery and needed software to work in conjunction with it,” says Shane. “It was my ﬁrst venture into nesting and presented a big learning curve, I had no software experience, had hardly been on a computer and so knew I would need a lot of help and assistance through the change over. “Researching the main options on Google, I found 3D Kitchen, had a close look and liked what I saw. Even to the layman it looked easy to use, and I liked the fact that it was a New Zealand program. When it was also recommended by a third party I decided to give owner Chris Adams a call, we had a great chat, Chris explained the whole process very well and I decided to go with 3D Kitchen and the Pro Toolpath version.”

“Chris was here for the set up and initial tuition, he adjusted the library to accommodate our method of manufacture and showed us how to build and develop the library as we went, so that now it covers most of what we do. For the first month I was ringing up Chris or his support team everyday. Using Team Viewer they would jump straight on my computer and show me the steps I needed to make, to achieve the result I wanted - usually very simple. I hardly ever ring them now although there are still areas where I need help - you don’t know what you don’t know.” “Six months later we are using it fully for design through to production, it is easy to work with and very fast. I am doing my own design and then it is straight onto the CNC and then the edgebander - very quick and very efficient. We employ 3 guys that are now capable of pumping out 3 kitchens a week where previously we were doing around one. In addition we are saving a lot on materials, there is very little wastage now. “The move has really transformed our business. Initially I did consider the outlay something of a gamble - it doesn’t seem that way now but if it ever was it has really paid off big time.

one offcut per sheet ... and other matters from Philip Smith of Joinery IT Ltd Advances in machinery on offer to our industry is met with advances in the software solutions typically used ... Back in the early 2000’s early adopters of Nesting started out in a small shed with not much more than a router and the proprietary software that came with the machine. Sheets of board were being loaded by hand and parts were unloaded directly off the bed of the router.Here at Cabinet Vision, many of our customers were these early adopters. They purchased their machinery systems in good faith. Their expectations that they could maintain the level of skill that they had used on their trusty old panel saw. Proprietary software does a great job controlling the machinery it is supplied with but understandably there wasn’t much consideration given to the actual job being produced.

One example, the design and sale process. Creating the order in a cam software, and getting it right, can be a real challenge ... Another example, and maybe the more frustrating moment of realisation for these CNC pioneers, having the need to control parts for grain matching and the desire to control the nest part spacing needed for operations applied to each part ... One by one, these guys turned to Cabinet Vision. It’s a fully automated process - Creating a grain match group in elevation view and the group is respected in Screen to Machines optimiser. Or mitring an edge, the parts operation boundary is also respected by S2M’s optimiser. Another popular feature is Cabinet Visions 6th face full sheet nest - allowing parts to be machined on both faces without needing to return each individual part to the machine. Great for routered doors!

Ok, let’s fast forward a bit ... The use of twin spoil boards and other part handling ideas progressed things quickly. About 6 years ago the Nested Cell became popular. This is basically a CNC labeller operating over a scissor lift. Sheets are promoted to the router and after machining the parts are swept on to an out feed table. The operator is typically doing any drill/dowel operations and at the same time feeding parts through an edge bander. It was a huge step in eﬃciency, thus why so many are in use today. Our software continues to supply these machines Now to consider our current reality. It’s 2018 and the process has again been optimised somewhat ... Several companies are already realising the huge benefits of Materials Handling systems. They have an infeed area where a crane receives materials for the coming weeks production run. The crane then presents sheet material ‘just

in time’ feeding Routers, Saws and other Automated Lines. The proprietary software that comes with the likes of the Bargstedt or the Winstore is very intelligent! Used to supervise materials and drops, it enables our customers the true value of utilising drops/ offcuts in pursuant jobs. Having your optimiser in sync with drops as they are created/ scanned allows your production team to minimise the amount of waste taken to the refuse station. Tip* Hit me up for a demo of Cabinet Visions ‘Offcut Manager’, I’d be glad to show you how easy it is to have just a single offcut for each material. An additional benefit of recording your drops in your Material Supervisor Software is that the drop is labelled with a bar code. If you need to recut a door from a drop, simply scan it out of the offcut manager. 

with Adrian’s 23 odd years in the coatings industry working for some of the best shopfitting, cabinetmaking and joinery operations, he was ideal for the role of advising, supporting and teaching our sales staﬀ and those in our distribution network

adding real value new staff member a win win for employer and the coatings industry Finding personnel with the right experience let alone enough experience is every manager’s dream. So it has been for Ernie Dumper, National Sales manager for PPG Industries here in New Zealand when he found and took on Adrian Armstrong as their Technical Sales and Training role in October last year. “Adrian and I go back a long way in the coatings industry so when I realised he was looking for a change in role and furthering his career and experience, I approached him to join PPG.” comments Ernie. It wasn’t your normal situation though as Adrian was working for one of PPG’s best clients at the time. “Normally it would be a really delicate matter but once I approached his then employer Central Joinery here in Auckland they were most supportive. With Adrian’s 23 odd years in the coatings industry working for some of the best shopfitting, cabinetmaking and joinery operations, he was ideal for the role of advising, supporting and teaching our sales staff and those in our distribution network. Indeed, it goes so far as our customer base about a wide range of products, coating technologies and techniques. He is not just working for PPG but also supporting the trades to improve their trade skills.”

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 72

Adrian’s position at Central Joinery was the culmination of many years of management roles especially in the sprayshop. “Problem solving inhouse issues and using my knowledge of spray equipment and techniques was pretty much at the centre of what I was doing and I brought this experience with me to PPG” explains Adrian. Over the years Adrian has overseen the many changes that have taken place in the coatings industry. Adrian continues “Years ago it was things like pressure pots (which I still see around on occasion!) and hot spray moving to air assist to polyurethanes through to the emergence of water based coatings. Application of coatings has been the key change so advice on new or diﬀerent processes and equipment is really important today. The changeover from solvent to waterbased coatings has been underway for a while now with waterbased coatings performance wise getting ever so close to solvent based. PPG have made great strides in this area with their Amerthane 2K waterbased system being the latest in a long line of ever improving water based product and it’s great to be part of that. The key attributes of great clarity, a silky touch, brilliant mar resistance and tough non

yellowing finish makes it really attractive for joiners, cabbies, shopfitters, furniture and kitchenmakers. It’s a product that encourages the shift to waterbased as well: no bad fumes, easy on spray gear with a result that in most applications is just fantastic.” Networking for Adrian is a big plus as well. “Keeping in touch with companies like Central Joinery and many other leading finishing operations keeps me on the ball and able to upskill myself in the process.” says Adrian. Ernie adds “We are pleased to have Adrian on board as he adds that level of experience so difficult to find all in one person. Of course he is well known in the coatings industry as well. This adds value to what he says and does.”

Felder quiet & accurate It’s a joinery shop that has the Italian Rowing 8’s racing boat from the 1978 World Championships suspended from the workshop ceiling. But this glorious piece of craftsmanship – raced on Lake Karapiro - isn’t all that make Dunedin’s JP’s Quality Kitchens unique. The fact that the workshop is in the old General Stores building adds a historical ﬂavour, as does knowing the building once housed a recuperating elephant. The stunning New York-style loft conversions above add a touch of glamour to the premises, which are right in the middle of Dunedin’s CBD. Usually you’d expect noise to preclude a joinery workshop from operating amidst cafes and retail stores, but with care and good planning owner John Peddie has managed to create an ideal work-life balance: work downstairs, with the family’s loft apartment above. JP Quality Kitchens’workshop is set back and inside the heavy brick building, and careful renovation along with quiet machinery means John has no problem with his neighbours. His most recent purchase – a Felder D951 thicknesser with silent-POWER cutterblock has taken care of that. “Our old 20 inch thicknesser used to scream” says John. “You could hear it from down the street, and I was very aware that as this area developed then noise would become an issue. But now, problem solved. My dust extractor is louder than my new thicknesser – I can barely tell the Felder is running.” John and his team produce solid wood furniture, including a lot of heavy table-tops, so a quality ﬁnish was an important consideration when choosing a thicknesser.“I use a lot of console-grade timber – customers like the character you can see in the wood” he says. “But I’d spend an age running slowly

with the machine shaking around on the floor, and I used to get a lot of blow-out. With the Felder I use a slow feed speed and take a little off at a time. I’m getting a far better result.” The D951 came equipped with powered rise and fall, including fine adjustment and a digital readout. “Having such exact control of the rise and fall means I’m confident in the sizing too” says John. When he’s not making kitchens or furniture, or undertaking houselots of joinery, John has his own properties to work on. “It’s a nice mix to work for customers and for myself,” he says. “It means that there’s no downtime for the workshop, because if we’re not busy for a client then we have our own work to do.” Much of this work is on display in the loft apartments above. Evidence of John’s workmanship is everywhere, from the furniture to the panelled walls to the huge, carefully renovated lift apparatus that dominates the ceiling space above the kitchen in his AirBnB loft rental.

John Peddie with the Felder FB710 bandsaw and Felder D951 thicknesser.

All of John’s work is bespoke, and word of mouth brings in a lot of his customers. “I enjoy creating something within a client’s budget, whatever that budget is” he says. But working on one-off projects all the time makes it harder to work efficiently, because every job needs time spent on design, set-up, tooling etc. It was his need to be flexible that led John to upgrade to a Felder FB710 bandsaw. “For some of the outdoor furniture I was making, it was taking up to 10 hours with a circular saw, a skill saw and a handsaw, because of the heavy timber I use,” John says. “With the Felder FB710 I’m doing the same work in 40 minutes. It’s got a massive cut, and the 5.5kW motor gives plenty of grunt to get through these chunky beams.” John also added the optional flip up tables for extra workpiece support. When combined with the Felder’s braked motor and comprehensive guarding then the FB710 is a very safe machine

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 74

to use. And safety is no small consideration for John and his team, not least because WorkSafe are about to move in to oﬃces just around the corner. Wi t h a b u s t l i n g c e n t r a l city location that speaks of individuality and ﬂair, JP Quality Kitchens are a modern and fresh take on a traditional joinery shop. Sensible investments in premises and quality machinery support their varied work, and John’s style is in demand on projects across Dunedin. But what’s most

apparent from his quirky working environment and unique style is that John Peddie really enjoys what he does for a living, and his customers appreciate the distinctive joinery that he and his team are creating.

Parkwood recently installed a new Egmont Air extraction system which recovers dust and shavings and compacts them into briquettes

Parkwood recycle wood dust Parkwood Products, one of New Zealand’s largest door manufacturer, have just relocated to a brand new, purpose-built facility. The new facility provided a clean slate for factory layout and optimizing efficiencies which included a new Egmont Dust Extraction System to provide premium extraction levels while conserving energy. The new Egmont system not only features super-efficient fans and filtrationmedia but also a briquette machine system which recovers waste dust and shavings to produce a valuable energy source. The Egmont Briquette machine recycles the waste dust and shavings produced from manufacturing and compacts these into a solid hard briquette that is 300% higher density than the original wood product! Not only that, another major benefit is the compaction ratio of raw sawdust which compresses to 10% of its original volume. Previously Parkwood were filling

20’ containers full of dust, now a small 2m3 bin collects the briquettes which can be used for fuelling boilers or general heating. The Egmont system is also ﬁtted with an energy-saving system using Egmont Air ’s unique pressure stabilizer system to monitor the live suction pressure and automatically adjust the fan speed to match the quantity of extraction ports open. Consequently, Parkwood have more suction capacity and have decreased power consumption by 32.8% from their original site. Egmont Air oﬀer a large range of products and solutions for joinery shops and timber processors anywhere in New Zealand. The Egmont Air dust extraction systems are a popular solution due to their modular design and heavy-duty construction design which focus on balancing high suction performance with energy savings.

Door DANGER W

e lived on a gentle lifestyle block with no large animals, no dangerous dogs, and sturdy, safe fences. It was the perfect, safe setting for my daughter to enjoy her early years. On this particular day, we’d come home with the groceries. I let her play in the warming spring sun while I unloaded the groceries. The breeze danced through the house and the front door slammed closed. Irritated but not too bothered, I headed over to open it back up. That’s when I heard it. A bone chilling scream on the other side of the door. Two quick strides and I was there. Face crumpled, tears streaming down, the apple of my eye stood there, apparently unhurt but very upset. I swept her into my arms and only then did I notice her hand. Four fingers were white and flattened. A red line on either side of the fingers marked where the door frame ended abruptly. Her hand was crushed. My heart was crushed. What I didn’t know it at the time, is that this scene is all too common. In 2016 doors injured more than 14,000 people; over 9,000 were injured in their home. ACC paid out more than $6 million for these new claims while handling over $13.8 million in ongoing claims for an additional 40,000 injuries. (1) How many of us know that doors are dangerous? I didn’t. I built my life around doors, being a joiner carpenter. I took them for granted and lived with the slamming, banging, and rework they caused me with their unforgiving forces, upwards of 40 tons per square inch – an immense crushing force. Fortunately, my lack of awareness didn’t cause my daughter any permanent damage. She was unable to use her hand for a couple of week, but eventually things returned to normal for her. Other children are not so lucky. My experience with my daughter sent me on a journey to remove the danger. I spent 11 years developing SoftSlam, a discreet dampner that fits in the door jamb and passively protects the home from the violent, dangerous forces of the doors. Only one product on the market takes the thrust out of a swiftly closing door preventing a forceful hit on the jamb and the scissor like pinching action of the hinge side. Door closers will control the force of the door, but all too often the maintenance personnel in charge of the door closers adjust them so tight that they close the door on anything that gets in the way. SoftSlam works alone or with a door closer to prevent a hard close without preventing the door to close.

Dust can be explosive: some dusts more than others. If possible, a dust collector or filter should be placed outside because if the unit does catch fire, or explodes, it doesn’t burn down the building and there is less chance of injury to staff. But sometimes placing a filter outside just isn’t possible. A major redevelopment to a college, opening this month in the Wellington CBD, needed a dust collector, but it had to be placed on the first floor of a brand new building. The building is clad with large glass windows and is designed with interior glass walls. Furthermore, the intended position for the filter system was right by the lift door! Obviously the effects of a dust explosion in this modern environment could be catastrophic not only to staff and students but also pedestrians outside. So the consulting engineers for the college were tasked with finding a dust extraction filter that did the job of collecting the dust, was safe, was practical (i.e. easy to empty the dust collected), and, if at all possible wouldn’t look an eyesore in the middle of a high quality, high tech, interior fit out. In past sites the college had used various portable, low cost bag machines, with small filter bags on the top, which quickly became clogged and resulted in the fine dust escaping and settling all over the surrounding area, and permeated through the rest of the site via common walkways. This sort of scenario also leads to problems with fine dust in the air conditioning system. It is this fine dust, between 1 and 10 microns, that is most damaging to the human respiratory tract, and most likely to affect your lungs long term. For this new development, following old solutions in such a confined space, wasn’t acceptable. Geoff Ebdon from NZDUCT +FLEX recommended a Stealth filter. Designed and manufactured

in Denmark by JKF Industri, the Stealth Filter has the following features: • Designed from conception to be as safe as possible for interior use • Quiet • Energy saving • Easy to operate – green button ON/ red button OFF • Easy wheelbarrow to empty the dust • Blends into modern multiuse workspaces In summary, the consulting engineers requirements were met: Safety The Stealth Filter has been designed and manufactured to reduce the possibility of a dust explosion: • No electric components are present inside the dust-filled zones • No own ignition sources are present inside the filter • Fan inside the filter is constructed according to "EN 14986 Design of fans working in potentially explosive atmospheres" • The electrostatic risks are covered by complying to "EN 13463-1 Nonelectrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres" • Anti-static filter bags (and Anti-static dust-bags are used in the dust-barrow) • The filter is constructed to be pressure shock resistant to 200 mbar • Built in Fire Suppressions System – if a temperature increase is detected foam fills the dust compartment Quiet and energy saving The Stealth Filter has an integrated acoustically dampened fan, to reduce noise and is fitted with Automatic Pressure Sensor, Energy Saving fan control. As more suction is required the fan speeds up, as you close off outlets it slows. This saves power consumption as well as reducing noise.

The Stealth filter – quiet and compact – set it and forget it. With convenient dust disposal.

Easy to operate Operation is extremely simple : all you have to do as a user is START and STOP. The automatic compresed air cleaning system takes care of removing dust from the ﬁlter socks. The dust drops into a plastic bag lined barrow at the base of the unit. A sight glass makes it obvious when the containers require emptying. To empty the bag, twist the holding brackets, pull the handle of the ‘wheelbarrow’ towards you and wheel to the bin.

With the recent law changes making all business owners, directors and managers personally liable for their staﬀ, students and own safety, it pays to consider the safety features of any dust extraction solution. If you’re a consulting engineer advising your client regarding dust solutions and the unit has to be placed inside the workspace, selecting a Stealth Filter means you have supplied the safest solution presently available. You could not reasonably do more to safeguard people.

State of the Art “For many suppliers, the technology for dust extraction equipment is stuck in the 1960’s.” comments Geoff Ebdon general manager of NZDuct+Flex, “We however are able to offer state of the art filters with safety and cleaning features unique in New Zealand. Our supplier JKF’s decades of expertise based in the world’s most demanding market (Europe) benefits us here. “

There are 4 Stealth models available with optimum air extraction of 2000-6000m3/hour of dust and air. Scandinavia is famous, even in Europe, for their safety record as well as classic, clean, contemporary design. The Stealth Filter is a good example of this.

Winning the John Tiddy Memorial Award is clearly part of the motivation behind young cabinet making and joinery apprentices doing well, and moving their careers and lives in the right direction. The 2016 award winners we spoke to said winning the award had been a milestone in their lives, and assisted with their career development and progress. Kiwi award winner David Irvine, 23, of Barrett Joinery in the South Island city of Timaru ﬁnished his apprenticeship in 2016 and is now a key member of the substantial company workforce operating in the traditional kitchen cabinet making industry. “Winning a John Tiddy award was a great experience and has been very helpful for my career development and future prospects,” said David. “It looks good on my CV, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to visit the AWISA show in Melbourne and to see all the machinery, technology and equipment.” David who was also the winner of the Masters Joinery award in 2015 for New Zealand’s most promising apprentice plans to stay with Barrett Joinery.

Skill Shortage a serious industry problem

As timber suppliers to exterior timber joinery companies throughout New Zealand, we have seen a systemic pattern emerging in recent years, in particular during the last 18 months. Joiners are getting desperate to find skilled staff members. We can safely say that the problem has become rather serious as there are businesses turning work away when as a matter of fact they cannot afford to. Are we heading for a crisis? According to CareersNZ, our governmental organisation that helps New Zealanders make informed learning and work decisions, “skill shortage” is a “catch-all” term to describe a range of situations in which an employer is finding difficulties finding a worker with the right skills. Skill shortages may differ in cause and nature: • Genuine skill shortage When there are not enough job seekers who have the required skills. • Skill shortage caused by recruitment and retention difficulties When there are enough job seekers with the required skills but they choose not to work because they are unhappy with pay rates and/or working conditions.

• Labour shortage When there are simply not enough workers available, skilled and unskilled. This happens when unemployment numbers are low. In our industry, our skill shortage is probably a combination of all of the above.The NZ economy is doing quite well at the moment and unemployment figures are relatively low. With less people on the labour market and more work to be done the pressure is on for employers having to compete for workers. It is not dissimilar from having to find work for the joinery shop and compete with other joiners to win customers. A point of sobering reality is that it takes 4 to 5 years to train up a qualified timber joiner, which means that if we are having a problem right now it will take some time to fix. So we better get onto it quick. The next question is; are we doing that? The answer is the next point of sobering reality; probably not … As business owners, employers, we have to take a good look at ourselves first. When there is a problem, all too soon we tend to find something to blame, an external influence, which is seemingly beyond our control. This mind-set can be a mistake, the difference between being a successful business or not. When there is a problem more than often there are a number of reasons as to why something

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 80

is going wrong. One of them is the change from our New Zealand government making changes to the apprentice system that was in place through the Ministry of Education up until 1992. Government subsidised workplace-based training, it was highly regulated and lacked flexibility. It was difficult for new industry to enter as the economy was changing. In short the responsibility of training shifted from the government to employers. ITO’s were formed, Industry Training Organisations funded by government. The current training system for our industry is going through the BCITO covering the building sector in general. This training organisation is funded by government and took over from what we knew as JITTO in 2014. They provide assistance in establishing an apprenticeship,supplying learning material and carry out assessments. Today’s system is based on the employer being the trigger to make training happen. If there is currently a skill shortage the main reason is that overall there has not been enough training happening, timber joinery employers involving and teaching young people. What we can really improve on is changing our attitude towards training. In today’s environment we can no longer rely on government and industry

to deliver trained employees. It needs to be done within our own work place, on an ongoing basis. More than ever you will have staff turnover, people move on, more frequent than in the past, the environment has changed. We need to clean up our act with regard to the stigma of being “the apprentice”. There is no point in treating the youngster on the work floor as the lowest in the pecking order, to get him or her to sweep the floor, get lunches, and clean the toilets for the first 18 months. Get them on the real stuff from the start and make a genuine commitment. We should probably change our pitch to being a “trainee” rather than “apprentice”. Finding young people. Times have changed. Our kids in school are having many more options today than in the past. We need to learn to see what is going through their minds and how our industry is being perceived. Feedback from joiners often is that they believe youngsters are no longer interested in taking up the tools in a factory environment. This may be true but why and what are we going to do about it. It is not until we manufacture everything with robots that we will not need them. Our youth is the future of New Zealand. Yes, we live in an age where parents like to see their kids go to university. Universities have evolved from governmental financial black holes into commercial money making

institutions. Arguably, a fair number of “bums on seats” courses have been created, without real jobs to get into and in the process setting up our kids with almost life long debts. We may be on a turning point soon, as parents are starting to see the consequences. All the more reason to get our act together soon. As an individual company there are things you can do other than just keep advertising. Youngsters, future employees are at schools. The most likely candidates are having fun during the wood tech classes. Teachers with a heart in what they are doing see this, know this and love to make a link with the real world,helping the good kids getting ahead after school. This has been a successful avenue for Tunnicliﬀe’s on several occasions.

The gateway program is a good example of making sure young people are coming through the system. These youngsters are still at school and integrate into the work force on a part time basis. There is very good work done by the BCITO however we need to realise that timber joinery is a relatively small part of the building industry and we may just not get enough coverage to make a difference. We are operating very much in a niche market and therefore need to take more responsibility, as individual companies to reach out to the right candidates. As an industry sector, would there be a more active role to play for our Master Joiner Association? BCITO have conducted proper market research on the joinery market. They have programs to actively bring in candidates but still rely on employers and industry organisations to work with them to find new young timber joiners. It is time for our niche market industry to step up, as we have done recently with NZS 4211. We need to try to turn the tide … Tunnicliﬀe Timber Company Limited

awards & education dy design 2018 is a year of harvest for NKBA, for many years we have worked steadily to improve and hone the vision of our previous Boards and staffs hard work to further evolve and grow to align ourselves with where our industry is forging ahead. There are continual changes and challenges for businesses dealing with heavy workloads, which implicate staffing requirements, importation of sub-standard products to the NZ market and end consumer. It is vital that we listen carefully to our strategic partners, members and consumer needs to ensure that our Association keeps relevant to the changes while still keeping the core values alive. NKBA has been working with BCITO to further develop the kitchen and bathroom design qualifications on the NZQA framework. These are in the final stages of development and we hope to confirm the 2018 course dates once NZQA have approved the new qualifications. It is exciting to announce that the new Level 5 Diploma in Kitchen Design will encompass the previously known Level 4 National Certificate in Kitchen Design in part plus part of the old National Diploma in Kitchen Design, making this qualification now achievable in 2 years. For those who have achieved or are currently working on the Level 4 National Certificate there will be a pathway for you to complete additional credits to receive the new Level 5 National Diploma in Kitchen Design.

A qualified designer is a huge asset to a manufacturing business and conversely a designer has an extended opportunity to learn whilst working with a manufacturer.

get comfortable in your workspace Welcome to 2018! After so long lying around on the beach over the summer and a general reluctance to be back at a desk, it seems appropriate to start this year’s Health and Safety column with discussion of ergonomics. Are we all sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin … E rg o n o m i c s i s “ t h e s t u d y of people's efficiency in their working environment”. But the term is also used to refer to the process of maintaining comfort and avoiding repetitive straintype injuries while at work. For much of the working population this involves having a desk and chair set up appropriately, with a monitor or two at the right height and a keyboard and mouse positioned correctly. But we don’t all sit at a desk, especially in the joinery industry. Instead many of us are moving around our workplace throughout the day – whether it be operating or servicing machinery, working with raw materials and products, or carrying out installations on site. Sitting is usually reserved for smoko time, or driving to and from work. So having a chair with 5 points of adjustment and an anatomically designed mouse is of little use. There are some things that are useful though. Comfortable shoes are a start. There’s often a slight conﬂict between safety and comfort, because steel caps are usually required. But if you’re on your feet all day then quality supportive shoes are a

simple, well-proven equipment that can reduce or remove the need for a worker to be straining with a heavy or awkward load.

must – especially if you’re ﬂat footed – so it’s worth spending the money to get a pair that are supportive and comfortable. Rubber or ‘anti-fatigue’ mats can also help, providing a softer, more comfortable area to stand, and reducing the stress on the muscles in your legs. Rubber mats can also help avoid cold feet in the colder months. (But so do thick woollen socks and they’re cheaper!) While the environment of a joinery shop is assessed regularly for safety, it’s only a small step to consider ergonomics too. In fact, good ergonomics should improve safety, and productivity. Think of handling for example. Having machines laid out to match the flow of production means the distances required to carry workpieces are shorter, and so production should be faster. There are fewer opportunities to scone your fellow workmates as you struggle past them with an overweight panel, and there should be fewer back injuries if heavier items are not being carried far. Or not carried at all is even better: appropriate handling equipment can work wonders. Infeed and roller tables, panel returns for edgebanders, vacuum lifters adjacent to your CNC – all

It’s not just physical factors that improve your ergonomics at work. Noise pollution is also a big factor. Fortunately, the decibel ratings of some of the classical machinery available today are half what they used to be. But quieter machinery doesn’t just reduce the risk of hearing damage. A quieter environment is also nicer to work in. Less stressful. Think of all those commercials you see for health and wellbeing spas or retreats. Soft music, trickling water and perhaps the odd whale sound to get you in the mood to relax. The whine of your panel saw while it rains outside isn’t quite the equivalent to gentle dolphin sounds, but if it’s less intrusive then you’re far more likely to be in a happy place at work – rather than gritting your teeth against it all. Safety concerns about other areas of a joinery workshop environment also contribute to better ergonomics. Air quality is an obvious one, with clean air and a warm environment resulting in less illness and absence at work. Quality extraction is at the root of clean air, and there are a variety of new products available to assist. Popular at present are sanding tables – slatted tables that are extracted from underneath. Whether you use them for sanding, or as an interim workstation where the dust is removed before further processing, they’re yet another way to keep dust away from your workplace.

When it comes to assembly, then working at the right height is an important factor for good posture, and minimising injury. Again, there are all sorts of heightadjustable worktables designed to ensure the right height for the right job. When matched with the correct jigs and tools (and skills) then most jobs can be carried out both safely, and in reasonable comfort. Lying on the beach in the sun in January was satisfying, particularly ergonomically. The occasional stone under the towel was easily removed, I was comfortable, stressfree, and even had my PPE gear with me (sunhat, sunscreen). But being back at work then it’s a bit more of an eﬀort to consider comfort, but it’s just as important. So if you ﬁnd yourself doing something that’s uncomfortable then take a minute to step back and think whether there’s a better way. There will be. It might be that you need a better machine – we’d certainly appreciate that. Or you might just need new gloves. Or to move your workstation a metre to the left. Or a hand from a colleague. But there will almost always be a better, more comfortable way to carry out your work. It’s just a matter of taking the time out to think and then do something about it. Kathy from Jacks

Due Process Geoﬀ Hardy

What is the best way to resolve a low value building dispute? Sooner or later every tradesman is going to have a dispute with a client that can’t be resolved by negotiation. You can debate the issues until you’re blue in the face, but one or both of you is going to remain obstinate or is going to be unable or unwilling to see the other party’s point of view. In those situations, people don’t act rationally, especially when they are stressed or emotionally charged. They’re not about to compromise or meet you in the middle. They feel a deep sense of injustice, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, and all they care about is to inﬂict more pain on you than the pain they believe you are inflicting on them. So it’s pointless continuing the argument, and what you need to do is refer the dispute to an independent third party, as quickly as you possibly can. A lot of well-intended people will try to dissuade you from doing this. They will encourage you to try things like mediation, which involves sitting around a table while a mediator tries to get the parties to reach agreement between themselves. But there are some major disadvantages to mediation. First, the parties have to pay the mediator’s fees and expenses, which can amount to several thousand dollars. Secondly, if one of the parties isn’t going to budge, then the end result will be that you have wasted hours and hours of pointless discussion and you are back to square one. Thirdly, a mediation can take up to a month or two to organise and complete, which is precious time you could have used to get the dispute resolved in some other way.

Mediation works in situations where both parties have an equal amount to lose, and an equal incentive to compromise so as to avoid the cost and delay of the dispute dragging on. For that reason, it is very eﬀective in leaky home claims, most of which are settled either in mediation or shortly afterwards. But in normal building disputes, typically one party has no incentive to resolve the dispute at all, because they are already in a winning position. For example, where the property owner has unilaterally withheld payment from the joiner as compensation for an alleged failure on the joiner’s part. Or the joiner has been paid in full on completion of the project and refuses to acknowledge or respond to a later claim from the owner about some latent defect that has emerged. In those situations, the faster the aggrieved party can refer the dispute to an independent expert who has power to make a binding ruling, the better. In the construction industry, there are at least ﬁve ways of doing that. Three you can do as of right, and the other two you can do if the other party agrees or has already agreed (for example, in the building contract). The three dispute-resolution methods that you can use regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, are the Disputes Tribunals (our small claims courts), adjudication under the Construction Contracts Act, and the Courts. The two that you can use only if the other party has agreed, are arbitration, and referral to an expert or panel of experts (which is an informal process that is not governed by an Act of Parliament and the rules of engagement have to be agreed).

JOINERS Magazine March 2018 page 84

In large commercial construction projects where the parties have big budgets you typically see much greater use of dispute resolution boards, arbitration, and litigation in the courts. In the smaller construction projects where the disputes are generally low value (for example, $10,000 - $250,000) and the parties have very modest budgets, you see much greater use of the Disputes Tribunals and adjudication under the Construction Contracts Act, both of which are quicker and more cost-eﬀective. In the low value disputes the emphasis is on affordability and practicality. The exorbitant cost, complex procedures and inordinate delays that you get in the courts (or for that matter, arbitration) are out of the question. You want “quick and dirty” justice because that is all you can aﬀord. As long as the outcome is reasonably fair, it does not matter whether it is 100% accurate because at least it enables the parties to put the dispute behind them and move on. There are, however, certain important factors that can make all the difference between a reasonably fair outcome and a major miscarriage of justice. First, it is important that the disputed amount is paid into a trust account or secured in some other way so that both parties are deprived of the use of the money. Only in this way can you make it an even contest, and create an equal incentive for each party to participate in the disputeresolution process. If one of the parties is holding the money and is free to spend it, then in their minds they have already “won” the dispute, and their incentive is to throw as many obstacles in the way of the dispute-resolution process as they possibly can.

Secondly, you want the dispute resolved by a genuine expert, not someone who has never been exposed to a construction project before or whose career has focused on tenancy disputes or marriage break-ups in the past. That is one of the reasons why the Disputes Tribunals are not ideally suited to handling construction disputes. Apart from the fact that their jurisdiction is limited to claims of up to $15,000, the Referees in the Disputes Tribunals tend to be very easily persuaded by the prevailing public and media mindset that the homeowner is invariably in the right and the tradesman is invariably in the wrong. Thirdly, the outcome is going to be far more reliable if the independent expert actually gets to meet the parties, and does a site inspection. Any badly-adjusted individual can make themselves out to be a paragon of virtue if they stay hidden in the background and simply ﬁle written arguments, especially if written by someone else. Similarly, on the basis that a picture paints a thousand words, a site inspection is invaluable for putting things in context and countering exaggeration. Finally, you ideally want both parties bound by the rules of engagement and by the outcome, with very little opportunity to appeal the decision or re-litigate the dispute. Only then can you contain the cost, resolve the dispute quickly, and put it behind you and move on.

Steering a course Ian Featherstone

Performance for profit So, how's 2018 going for you so far? Are you on track for the goals you set during the Christmas break? Hopefully you're feeling in control, and the business is humming. Companies only exist if they continue to make money, but business owners aren't in business merely to exist. They should be achieving more – and the company should be able to provide this. Therefore, business owners need to keep their fingers on the pulse and their eyes on the $$. But what should you measure, and how do you do this without micromanaging others? The two most critical elements that make up costs and determine how much gross margin is made are time and materials. The great thing is that these can be absolutely under your control. But it's important to ensure that your operations people are focused on their efficient use of time and correct use of material (whilst reducing waste). You'll have heard the expression, "What gets measured, gets managed". This is true, but I recommend that business owners don't manage everything themselves, but put in place simple, visual measures their teams can use to guide them towards higher performance, and that can be immediately recognised.

Consider making a "traffic light dashboard", so that it's easy to see what's in red, amber or green. Then ask the right questions to keep your team moving forward and improving. Time • Measure downtime, find the overall percentage and by category. Then you can focus on the largest category that you want to reduce first. For companies which don't manage this, the overall figure is often 20-25%. Getting it down to 10% will bring real gains and put you at the top of your field. •

•

Measure actual time to estimate, by task or work centre. This is easy for large projects. For small, repetitive jobs, measure the machine rate. Edgebanding and nesting are good examples of this. Measuring Pieces or lineal metres is better for edgebanding, and sheets or parts per hour is better for nesting. Think about how the variation in your job type aﬀects throughput. If you have sales people /designers, how do you account for their time? In today's modern factories it's

not uncommon for overhead staff to be around the same quantity as shopfloor. Their time should be added into your labour cost, to give a more accurate profitability measure. There are many ways to capture the information, appropriate to the size of your business and complexity of jobs. Once you get a handle on how long things take and how much productive time you have available, you can: a) Create a plan that is achievable for your business; b) Offer your customers more reliability on their delivery times; c) Calculate your hourly chargeout rates with more confidence – leading to improved margins; d) Understand how much and what type of work produces your best, most profitable results. Materials • Ensure that the most appropriate materials are estimated and used. Create a process to capture specification from beginning to end. • Check quantities used match estimate. Understand the variance, and feedback to others. • If you have assumptions for waste percentage, carry out periodic checks to verify these.

Price Acknowledge what your customers are actually buying. Product is one thing, but they're also paying for service and a great customer experience! Premium price businesses offer exceptional service, treat their customers well, anticipate their needs and go out of their way to accommodate them. Understand what's important to your customers – and then sell that to them. Its not just about the product. Backcosting • Use all of the aforementioned information to do back costings. Depending on your business, you might do this for every job, periodically, or on a sample of different job types. If the latter, be sure to do a large enough sample to make it relevant, and repeat the process frequently. • Every month, get your key people together to review these figures and agree on actions to improve. Do the actions, review the results, focus on improving the process. Don't stop! Ian Featherstone is a business and leadership coach, and owner of Glass Half Full.

The new Push to Open Synchronisation Bar activates both Quadro V6 and V6+ runners for Innotech Atira drawers in synchronicity. This allows for purist, sleek design as a light press anywhere on a large front panel will provide a perfect solution for effective handless design. As an affordable option for handle free design without cables or power, it allows for quick and easy installation with only a few components. It is easily installed by clipping onto the Quadro runners with fitted adapters, without any need for additional installation space or fixing to drawers. Quadro V6 and V6+ runners have four independent rows of steel balls run in precision steel profiles. Technical details in brief • Full extension with Push to Open function • Load: up to 50 kg • Lengths: 250 – 680 mm • Mounting: cabinet side and base • Concealed runner • Plug-on/slide-on installation • With height and 4D front panel adjustment (height, side, tilt, depth) Quadro V6 and V6+ drawer runners are precision engineered for strength.
