Amish Furniture Builders
A well organized and elegant retail website is not the single factor that determines the success of our service as an online Amish furniture provider. Equally critical is maintaining unparalleled levels of quality throughout our entire furniture line. The quality factor of our furniture is controlled through a rigorous and thorough builder selection process. Amish Furniture Factory does the tedious job of weeding out inferior builders while establishing close relationships with superior builders that consistently deliver exquisite quality through demonstrating world class craftsmanship and professionalism. Not all Amish furniture builders produce equally desirable furniture, and eliminating such builders can save substantial sums of money and time. Our job is to make sure your purchase is done correctly the first time while providing support during the periods of ordering, delivery, set up and use.
Amish Furniture Factory currently maintains and manages close working relationships with about a dozen different Amish furniture builders located through the heartland of the United States in Amish Country. One aspect that separates our builders from the rest is product specialization. Each one of our builders specializes in building one type, or closely related types of furniture, such as dining room tables, dining room chairs, or TV stands. Like the global economy, consumers benefit by buying from Amish furniture builders who specialize due to better quality and lower prices. The result of higher quality and lower prices is due to increased building efficiency and knowledge associated with product specialization. If a builder can focus on building one type of furniture, finite resources at their disposal can be used more efficiently while knowledge of how to apply the resources also becomes enhanced.
Amish Furniture Building Techniques
A plethora of Amish furniture building techniques are applied. There are too many techniques to discuss here, but there are a few commonly used techniques that are noteworthy. Old World building techniques have long been employed by previous generations that are used universally today due to the success of their continually tested and proven integrity. Many builders use their own custom and uniquely developed building methods and techniques in conjunction with or to better apply proven Old World building techniques Amish furniture pieces. For example an Amish furniture builder who specializes in building their own line of Amish tables may develop a unique set of jigs or templates for table top patterns.
Examples of Old World building techniques are mortise and tenon joints for connecting pieces, dovetail joints found on drawers, or dado joints for long and thin connecting pieces. Mortise and tenon joins are the most popular joint used in Amish furniture due an immense amount of strength it adds by maximizing the amount of contacting surface space to be glued. One piece is cut out in the shape of the connecting piece to fit through. A blind joint does not expose the end of the connecting piece through the other side to save building time. Joints made to expose the end piece are used for certain styles of furniture and is more expensive. Look forward to our up and coming blog article that will discuss in more detail Amish furniture building techniques.
