And the casket was just made ...

Stages of making a casket:

• The main types of products
• Necessary equipment
• Materials for making papier-mâché
• Winding and gluing blanks of the body
• Pressure testing and drying
• Workpiece boiling
• Filing
• Hardware fittings
• Casket decarning

Filing

During the two dryers, distortions and bumps may have formed on the products, therefore, the treatment of dried windings begins with peeling and leveling of the planes, alignment of the corners. , We perform the cleaning on a board covered with sandpaper with medium grain until the edges are completely aligned. Then peel and trim the crooked edges. With a surface gage, check the wall thickness along the trimmed edges. Cut off unnecessary with a chisel and peel with sandpaper.
On the calibrated and stripped workpiece, we make the marking of the value of future cases and covers. One or several products can be made depending on the height of the dried winding. At the same time, flat material for lids and bottoms is prepared. We cut off the walls of the body and the walls of the covers at the required height, the so-called "little faces", adjusting the groove to fix the closure of the lid on the body. After that, glue the plane of the lid and bottom. All parts were previously glued to casein, but now they are glued together
PVA glue and dried in the clamped state in heat.
Overhead parts are placed on the rigidly glued body: “buttons”, “heels” and planed, chamfers and fillets are milled on the protruding edges of the caskets and caskets. The final operation of the assembly is to seal hardware.
