HOW TO DELIVER YOUR IMPORTS FROM INDONESIA

Several ways to deliver your Imported Products from Indonesia:

1. 20ft. Container (30 cubic meters)
2. 40ft. Container (60 cubic meters)
3. 40ft. High Cube Container (72 cubic meters)
4. LCL Sea Cargo (less than a container – charged per cubic meter)
5. Air Cargo

LCL & Full Container Load ( recommended, because more effectively cost )
The enclosed steel containers are available in 2 sizes 20 ft, 40 ft , and 40 ft jumbo, provide the customer with loading



space of 30, 60, 72 Cubic Meter respectively, or roughly 300, 600, 720 normal size shipping boxes.
This type is the most commonly used in the cargo field. The Advantages of using the enclosed container are product protection

and safety, and allowing the most economical use of space.

Less Container Load ( LCL)
This service is dedicated to those shipment whose space is insufficient to fill a 20 ft container. Shipments are individually

crated and consolidated on freight carries bound for intended destination. L.C.L. loads are appropriate for sending smaller

shipments, samples, gifts and personal items. Orders less than a container volume are calculated by the cubic meter. Please

contact us for more information regarding shipments of less than a container volume.

Air Freight
Air Freight is fastest way to ship, but also the most expensive one.
Cargo do charge by the kilo, but in addition, also by volume, whichever happens to be greatest. A standard carton box is 50 x

58 x 33 cm (20 x 23 x 13 inches). According to the cargo calculation, that carton’s volume is equal to about 15 kilos. If

there is less than 15 kilos of product in that carton box, then you still will pay for 15 kilos. If there is more than 15

kilos, you pay the greater amount. Let’s say the air cargo rate for you is about $4.00 per kilo which means that carton costs

you in cargo expense at least $60.00. In some cases you will have paid more for the cargo than you paid us for the Bali

handicraft.

Shipping Time by Sea Freight
Shipping to most International ports takes approximately 4 weeks from Indonesia. Shipping to Asia/Southeast Asia destinations

are approximately 2 weeks.

MEDIUM-LOW FURNITURE FINISHING MATERIALS

Traditional finishing materials are the materials that are traditionally used in furniture finishing in early time when furniture industry start to finish the furniture, when coating as finishing material has not been found yet. At that time spray gun which is now become the most popular equipment to apply the finishing materials still has not been used for the furniture finishing process. Finishing materials are applied in a traditional way such: pad, dipped, brush or wipe.
Now although most of the finishing processes are done with modern materials and using modern equipment, but apparently there is also demand for a furniture with traditional finishing materials. Because the traditional finishing with traditional material produce a unique appearance that can not be imitated exactly with modern finishing. Some traditional finishing materials that now used still used are: oil, wax, varnish and shellac.


The advantages of the other traditional finishing materials, is his simple application, does not special equipment and room. Therefore, those finishing materials, is good choice when the equipment and finishing facilities is not available and the desired quality of finishing is not too high.

1. Oil finish
Oil as a finishing material may be is the oldest. This finishing materials type is very easy and very simple in application and does not require a special finishing equipment and room. The furniture is brushed or dipped and wiped equally with rag or cloth. The finishing results is very natural, show the beauty of the wood with very alive and interesting look. The disadvantage is: oil finish almost does not form color, so the color is highly dependent of the basic colors and quality of the wood underneath. This finishing also very thin layer almost does not form film so can not provide the maximum protection to the wood underneath.
There are many names for this oil finish such as teak oil, danish oil, china oil, etc. Oil finish is made from extracted beans or trees (linseed oil), tung oil is made from extracted the seeds of a tung plant which is known in china, so also known as china oil. Oil plants can also be heated to a temperature 500 degrees Fahrenheit to increase gloss result and reduce drying time. Development of the next oil finish is then processed and mixed with resin to improve its quality and is known by the name of varnish.

2.Varnish.
Varnish is a finishing material that is made from oil with chemical processes using a mixture of the phenolic resin, alkyd and urethane. The oil used is the same type with oil that used for oil finish. Varnish will react with the hot air to produce a strong and elastic film. The drying time of this material is relatively long, up to 1 day for each layer application. Varnish is usually clear without any color, although can also be mixed with pigment to form a specific color. The application can brush or wipe, but now it can also be diluted with thinner and sprayed. Thinner that is used to thin this material is a kind of oil like turpentine or mineral spirit. Varnish will form a film on the surface, and will give protection to the wood underneath. The film thickness depend on the application times, so to get the thick film we need to apply varnish several times. The drying of every layer is very important, we have to make sure the previous layer is really dry before apply the next layer on it.

3. Wax finish
As the oil finish, wax will produce a very natural appearance with very soft and smooth surface. The most widely used wax is the wax obtained from the bee farm (beeswax), which will melt at a temperature about 140 degree Fahrenheit. Wax applications is very easy, brush or wipe evenly on the surface then cleaned with a cloth. The resulting surface is very unique: slippery and smooth, when being touched with very natural look. Wax is available in natural or colored, usually brown and black. Although wax is available with some color but the finished color produced by this materials is very limited. So the color and appearance that is produced depends on the color of wood underneath. Wax finish is also give only very small protection to the wood underneath.

4. Shellac (politur)
Approximately since 1820 until 1920 shellac is an extremely popular used as a finishing material for the wood before it is replaced by the coating. This finishing material provides a layer of film that be able to provide better protection than oil or wax finish. Shellac is basically have a yellowish color and when applied will produce a yellow color depending on how thick the layer of shellac on the wood surface. In the next development there is also available uncolored shellac (bleach shellac), which provided film without any color. The bleach shellac is use to finish natural or white color.
Shellac is made from natural resin produced by plants from India, shellac is available in the store in the chips form. The pieces need to solve in alcohol to make liquid form before applied to the surface of the wood. The application was originally by padding on the surface using cloth. The padding is repeat many times until get the desired thickness. The previous layer of shellac must be dry before the next application. The more application layer the thick film formed, the gloss will be generated and higher and the resulting color will darker or yellower. But now shellac is also possible to be sprayed by spray gun. By spray method the application is much faster and easily controlled to obtain the desired thickness.
The finishing layer get from shellac will provide sufficient protection to the wood underneath. The disadvantages of this material is that he requires long drying time for each application, the color selection and gloss is very limited and the difficulties in controlled. Now the finishing process with shellac is almost entirely replaced with the coating as a modern finishing material. Shellac is still used in the furniture industry especially because his application is simple. This material can applied with cloth without using special equipment and room. The other reason is because this material is save and almost does not make pollution to the environment.

WATER BASE STAIN

Water base stain is a type of stain which is used water as its main solvent. Water base stain including the water base finishing materials which is becomes trend in the finishing industry today. This material use water as its major solvent so it is considered as an environmentally friendly finishing material. The issue of environmental degradation and climate change has force the industry society to use the materials and system that is more environmentally friendly. This reason makes the water base finishing materials become increasingly popular. Water based stains as the part of the water base finishing material also become popular and is liked by many peoples.


Actually the water base finishing materials technology has been known since long time ago. Started in about 1970, there many water base coating or waterborne materials are introduced to the finishing industry, but there are lot or limitation that restricted the uses of this material. Today much development have been carried out to make this finishing material have much better perform than when first introduced.
The water base stain is a finishing material used to form a color in a process of finishing. According to the type of finish that is produced then there are 2 types of water base stain that are the water based wood stain and water base paint.

*Water based wood stain, water based stain.

That is a water based stain used to color the wood to make a transparent color finishing. It is thin and usually applied directly to the wood. It is made from organic pigment as its main ingredient diluted in water and little amount of solvent. This stain produces a bright and transparent coloration. This stain will also penetrate and absorbed by the wood as well as other organic pigmented stain. This stain can be applied in various ways such as: by spray, brush, dipped or wiped. It is can also be applied under many type of clear coating such as: NC, PU and AC as well as the water base coating. The stain is available in various colors except white. We can mix this stain can be mixed to produce the desired color if necessary. The principle of this stain mixing can be done by using the theory of the color triangle.

*Water based paint, water based base coat.

It is a stain that is used to make solid color (opaque color) finish. This stain is thick form as well as the other base coat, paint or enamel. Water based paint is made from inorganic pigment mix with a water based clear coating as binder. This material can be applied over raw wood or sealer to generate a solid color. It is available in a variety of colors including white. If necessary, it can be mixed to make the required color using the color triangle theory principle.

The using of water based stain.
The use of the water base stain principally is the same with other stain, but since this stain use water as its major solvent then he has some unique characters.
This is some tips in dealing with water based stain.

*Choose the appropriate color stain according with the desired color.

The stain is applied in the finishing process to form color. Therefore, the stain must be selected in accordance with the basic color of the wood and the final color desired. Use the triangle theory to choose the right stain color.

*The unfinished wood should be dry.

Water based stain contains water in its mix. The stain application to the wood means that the wood is wetted with water. The dry wood will make the drying process can occur relatively easy and fast. But if the wood is still wet, then drying stain will be difficult and slowly happened.

*The environmental conditions.

Drying process is the evaporation of water into the air. In a hot and dry environment, the water evaporation process can easily and quickly happen. But at the humid weather the environment air is full with water vapor and no longer receives water vapor. In a humid or rainy weather the drying process of the water base stain becomes very slow. To do better control the finishing process with water base material, an oven should be quipped in the finishing room.

*The sanding in unfinished wood.

Water based stain will be more wet the wood compared with thinner base wood stain. The water in the stain will wet and lift the wood fibers to make the wood surface tend to be rough. Generally the water base stain will lift more wood fiber and need more sanding process. Water base stain also has a high risk of blotchy and uneven color if the surface underneath has porosity variation. To minimized the uneven porosity then the unfinished wood surface should be well prepared. The proper sanding is needed to ensure that the wood surface is even and smooth. Do glue sizing (sealer sizing) if necessary to do better preparation in the unfinished wood.

*Use non corrosion equipment to handle this material.

Water base is corrosive materials. The water in the mixture will attack the metal especially the iron. The container to place this material and the equipment used to handle this material should be made of non corrosion substance. The plastic bucket and drum are the most used to keep and place this material. Meanwhile the tip and nozzle for the spray gun used usually are made of stainless steel.

WAX FINISHING FOR WOOD

Wax finish is almost similar with the oil finish, is one of the traditional finishing materials that could produce the finishing looks: very natural, soft appearance, smooth surface, with a simple application method. Compared with oil finish, wax material has higher viscosity, so it can be applied with a little thicker than the oil finish. As with oil finish, wax finish can not provide protection to the wood surface underneath. The protection of wax even less compare with oil finish, because the wax can not penetrate and wet the layer of wood like the oil finish does.


As with the oil finish, the wax layer can not build film layer, he will not give protection to the underneath surface from the water, air, and heat or solvent. But wax will be able to produce a smooth surface and subtle, since that it will help avoid the scratches caused by friction on the surface.
The wax application is like oil application, with wipe, brush and then even with a brush or rag to get even layer on the surface. Wax will fill and coloring the pores and grain of wood and will produce a natural and attractive appearance that can not be replaced by other finishing material. The wax color which is usually very little will make the resulting appearance becomes very soft and natural and can not be replaced by stain or glaze application. Because of his characteristic appearance that is very unique, this finishing is still loved by some people.
Wax material are made from a type of wasp, the same material that use to make candle usually has a brown base color, but by mixing with pigments it can be made with various colors. Now there is a wax supplier that provides wax in various colors like green, red other color.
One of the disadvantages of wax finish is that we can not fully control the finish color. The final color highly depends on the base color of the unfinished wood. If the base colors of the wood vary so the final finishing color will vary also. Therefore, to produce an even final finishing color, it is necessary get the even wood base color.
At this time some peoples do a combination of wax finis with the use of stain and sealer. Finishing step is as follows:
1. Stain (sap stain and equalizer to even the base color of the wood)
2. Thin sealer
3. Wax

This finishing process could produce a more flat finish, but with a wax finish looks like. Equalizer stain and sap stain is used to even wood base color so that the final color obtained will uniform. Sealer is applied over the stain to protect the stain so as not wiped off in the wax application. This sealer application should not be too thick, because if too thick will form a film layer and the finishing result will be no longer look natural. The sealer normally used is the nitrocellulose as the easiest and simplest, but other type of sealer is also can be used, as long as not too thick to avoid the film layer build.

SYNTHETIC WICKER

'Resin wicker' or Synthetic Wicker, also known as all-weather wicker, is manufactured predominantly for use in outdoor furniture. It is meant to look like natural wicker, but is made of a synthetic material that only requires minimal maintenance and is extremely durable.



Traditionally, natural wicker was used to manufacture a variety of different products including baskets or outdoor furniture. Wicker is originally made from natural fibres, such as rattan, a material gained from the so called rotan tree, a vine like plant.The term rattan is sometimes used interchangeably with wicker, but in fact depicts the fibre used to create the wicker work. Rattan is very elastic and therefore greatly apt to produce baskets, hampers and chairs. The branch like material is woven for the purpose of constructing a sturdy but elastic product, wicker. The end result are those comfortable deep seating wicker chairs that we all know from our parents or grandparents.The elements gradually break down the color and make the wicker brittle.[3] The fibres lose their elasticity and eventually break and the product ceases its use. Nowadays, most natural wicker products are used indoors, e.g. as furniture in a sun room or solarium.

Traditional Wicker Chair

Resin wicker is a very similar looking material. However, it is not subject to the impact of the elements. Synthetic polyethylene fibres resin wicker is durable, resistant against the sun's UV radiation as well as against humidity and water.The color is added in the production process and forms part of the fibre, thereby maintaining the desired visual appeal of the product it is used for.Resin wicker it is very elastic and sturdy, providing for great stability and seating comfort, those exact features that we like traditional wicker for. Furthermore, resin wicker requires much less maintenance. It is very easy to clean; it can simply be hosed down. It also does not require to be re-painted, as its colors barely fade over time. Due to these features, resin wicker has become extremely popular for outdoor products such as patio furniture.

Resin wicker is generally used over an aluminum frame to create light weight outdoor furniture. This type of furniture benefits from the advantages of resin wicker. Often described as all-weather resin wicker, it withstands the forces of the elements. Be it in very hot and humid climates or through cold winters, it has become the material of choice for swimming pool lounges, patio dining sets, outdoor sofas and terrace bistro type settings. Especially with the newer modern designs, resin wicker furniture is the new trend in the entertainment industry, i.e. patio parties, outdoor dining and lounging.

FSC & ASMINDO

FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

Established in 1993 as a response to concerns over global deforestation, FSC is a pioneer forum where the global consensus on responsible forest management convenes and through democratic process effects solutions to the pressures facing the world’s forests and forest-dependent communities.



Within this forum, voices from the Global North and South, from organizations big and small, assemble to define environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable forest management and identify the tools and resources that will effect positive, lasting change.

As a multi-stakeholder organization, FSC applies the directive of its membership to develop forest management and chain of custody standards, deliver trademark assurance and provide accreditation services to a global network of committed businesses, organizations and communities.

FSC certification provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value.

FSC is nationally represented in more than 50 countries around the world.

HOW TO BUILD A TELEPHONE STAND

If you want a special spot for your desk-style telephone, this easy-to-build combination telephone stand/cabinet keeps phone, note pad and pencil, and telephone directories in one convenient place. With everything in one spot, you'll also save space and hide clutter, while adding an interesting piece of furniture to your home.
The edged top keeps telephone and note pads in place.

Tools:
•measuring rule
•pencil
•square
•straightedge
•power saw
•hammer
•miter box
•handsaw
•coping saw
•screwdriver
•nail set
•paintbrushes

Materials:
•3/4-inch grade A-B plywood
•carpenters' glue
•6-penny finishing nails
•shelf-edge molding
•1-inch brads
•1 × 2 clear pine stock
•two 7 × 23-inch stock louvered doors
•two cabinet knobs
•four decorative surface-mount hinges
•two cabinet door roller-catch assemblies
•wood putty
•sandpaper
•primer
•latex paint

Time: about 3 to 4 hours, plus finishing time

Begin the project by cutting the six main pieces of the telephone stand from 3/4-inch plywood. Be sure to cut all pieces with the plywood face grain running parallel to the long dimension:

•bottom,14 × 14 3/16 inches
•two sides, 14 × 23 7/8 inches each
•top, 15 × 17 inches
•back, 14 3/16 × 23 1/8 inches

Next, lay the back piece on a flat working surface and apply a bead of carpenters' glue along one of its long edges. Stand the bottom piece up against the glued edge, with the corners of the pieces flush. Nail the bottom to the back with four 6-penny finishing nails.

Lay the glued and nailed assembly on its side and run a bead of glue along the uppermost edge. Set a side piece into place so that the top corners meet, the bottom edge of the side is flush with the bottom surface of the bottom piece, and one side edge is flush with the outside surface of the back. Nail the side into place with three 6-penny finishing nails, which should be spaced and driven into the edge of the bottom.

Finish securing the piece by driving five more nails into the edge of the back of the telephone stand. Turn the assembly over, and repeat these steps to attach the other side piece.

Set the assembly upright and run a bead of glue along the top edges of the back and side pieces. Set the top piece into place so that the rear edge is flush with the back surface of the cabinet, leaving a 1-inch lip at the front and centering the top so there's a lip of about 3/4-inch at each side. Secure the top with three 6-penny finishing nails along each side and four more across the back, driven down into the edges; space the nailing line along the sides 1 3/32 inch in from the edge of the top piece.

Cut a 10 × 14 3/16-inch piece of plywood for the shelf, and check it for a snug fit between the sides of the stand.

With a measuring rule, square, and pencil, locate and mark a guideline across the inside face of each side piece, 10 3/8 inches up from the inside face of the bottom piece. Apply glue to the back and side edges of the shelf and slip it into place, aligned on the guidelines.

Next, draw light pencil guidelines on the sides and back of the cabinet to mark the edges of the shelf. Secure the shelf with three 6-penny finishing nails, which should be driven through the sides and into each end of the shelf. Drive four more nails through the back of the cabinet into the edge of the shelf.

Inside the telephone stand, the shelf is set back
to provide easy access to bottom storage.

Lay the telephone stand on its back. Cut strips of shelf-edge molding to fit all the front edges of the plywood pieces -- top, bottom, sides, and shelf. Fit the molding exactly, using either butt or mitered joints. Apply glue to the edges and secure the strips with 1-inch brads set about 6 inches apart.

Cut two lengths of 1 × 2 pine stock to 15 3/4 inches, plus the thickness of the shelf edging -- the edging will probably be 3/8 inch thick, but this can vary slightly. Round the top of one end of each edging piece to a radius of about 3/4 inch or to a gentle curve. Just be sure the two pieces are identical and well-rounded.

Apply a bead of glue along the side edges of the top piece of the telephone stand's cabinet. Secure each pine strip with three 6-penny finishing nails, placing the rounded end forward and flush at the front and back, with the bottom edge aligned with the bottom surface of the top piece. Drive the nails into the edges of the top piece.

Cut a 17-inch-long piece of 1 × 2 pine stock. Apply glue to the rear edge of the top piece and to the ends of the pine strip. Position this strip between the first two pine strips, with the top edges flush, and secure it with four evenly spaced 6-penny finishing nails. Then align the top corners and drive two more 6-penny nails through the side strips into the ends of the back strip.

Mount a cabinet knob on each door, on the longitudinal centerline of the door and 6 inches down from the top. Mount hinges on each door, on opposite sides, with the top of the top hinges 4 inches down from the top of each door and the bottom of the bottom hinges 4 inches up from the bottom of the door.

Set each door into place and adjust it so that there is a 1/16-inch clearance at the top, bottom, and side. Secure the hinges to the stand's edges, then center each screw exactly in the hinge mounting hole and drive it perfectly straight to align the door properly.

Mount the roller catches to latch the doors, following the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Then set a catch on the inside of each side of the top piece, with each catch centered on the longitudinal centerline of the inside door frame -- in line with the knob.

Remove the doors and take the hardware off. With a hammer and nail set, sink all visible nailheads slightly below the surface of the wood. Fill the nailhead holes and any imperfections in the joints or wood surfaces with wood putty, then sand both the cabinet and the doors smooth.

To finish the stand, apply a coat of primer, followed by two coats of interior semigloss latex (or other) paint.

When dry, place your phone on top of the telephone stand and anything you're likely to need while making a call inside the cabinet.

To further add to your home's distinction and organization, continue to the next page to build a plant stand.

HOW TO BUILD A PLANT STAND

Plants love special attention (and really, don't we all?), so give a favorite plant some extra elevation and added presence in your home by making a plant stand for it. This simple stand works well on a table or on the floor, and for more height or larger plants, you can change the dimensions as needed.

Tools:
•measuring rule
•pencil
•carpenters' square
•handsaw or saber saw
•drill with 3/4-inch, 9/64-inch or #28, and 1/16-inch or #52 bits
•straightedge
•chisel
•hammer
•fine-toothed flat file
•miter box and backsaw
•nail set
•sanding block
•countersink
•screwdriver
•paintbrush

Materials:
•3/4-inch grade A-A or furniture-grade plywood
•half-round molding
•hide glue
•3-penny finishing nails
•medium- and fine-grit sandpaper
•rag
•2-inch #6 flathead wood screws
•plastic wood
•paint or stain

Time: about 3 hours, plus drying and finishing time

For a finished and professional-looking plant stand, use 3/4-inch grade A-A or furniture-grade plywood, and buy half-round molding to cover the cut edges.

Measure and mark two plywood base pieces 12 inches wide and 24 inches long, with the grain of the plywood running the long way. Use a carpenters' square to keep the corners accurate, and cut the base pieces with a handsaw or a saber saw.

Measure and mark the horizontal and vertical centerline of each piece. Then, on the vertical centerline of each piece, mark a point 3/8-inch below the horizontal centerline. Drill a 3/4-inch hole at this point. To avoid splintering, drill through the marked point just until the bit starts to protrude from the other side. Then turn the piece of plywood over and drill through the other side to complete the hole.

Follow instructions to make the base pieces and top.
With a straightedge, draw lines from the sides of the hole down to the bottom of each base piece, outlining a 3/4-inch-wide slot on each piece. Carefully cut out the marked slots with a handsaw or a saber saw, cutting along the inside of the lines so the slots are an even 3/4 inch wide.

Square the rounded tops of the slots with a saber saw or a chisel and hammer. If you use a chisel, be careful not to splinter the wood; make many small cuts instead of one or two large ones. Smooth the raw edges of the slots carefully with a fine-toothed flat file, and test the slots as you work with a scrap piece of 3/4-inch plywood. File only until the slots are wide enough to accept the scrap. Smooth the slots carefully and accurately; the cut sides must be flat and square, and the edges must not splinter or become rounded.

To make the top of the stand, mark and measure a 14-inch-square piece of plywood, using a carpenters' square to keep the corners straight. Using a miter box and a backsaw, cut four 14-inch pieces of half-round molding, then miter the ends at a 45-degree angle. Attach the strips of molding to the edges of the plywood top by applying hide glue to the back of each strip and then nailing it into place with 3-penny finishing nails. Sink the nailheads with a nail set and allow the glue to dry completely, as directed by the manufacturer.

To finish the cut edges of the base pieces, cut four 24-inch pieces of half-round molding with squared ends. Apply hide glue to the back of each molding strip and nail the strips onto the outside long edges of the base pieces with 3-penny finishing nails; sink the nailheads with a nail set. Let the glue dry as directed.

When the glue is completely dry, sand the base pieces and the top as necessary, using a sanding block and medium- and fine-grit sandpaper. Smooth the edges where the molding meets the edge of the plywood, but do not sand the inside surfaces of the slots in the base pieces.

Creating the base.
To assemble the stand, apply hide glue to the inside edges of the slots in the base pieces, then put the two pieces together at right angles, with the glued slots interlocking firmly and the top and bottom edges of the base pieces flush. Set the base on a flat surface and adjust it so that the pieces are perfectly in line and square with one another; then carefully wipe away any excess glue that has leaked from the joints. Let the glue dry completely, as directed by the manufacturer.

When the glue is completely dry, put the stand together. Draw an X on the bottom side of the top piece, from corner to corner, and draw a light X on the other side. Set the top piece on the assembled base and align it so that the penciled X on the bottom is hidden by the edges of the base X. The top piece is attached to the base with screws, so mark points for two screws along each arm of the lightly drawn X on the top. Then remove the top from the base.

At each marked point, drill a hole completely through the top piece, using a 9/64-inch or #28 bit. Countersink each hole so that the head of each assembly screw will lie slightly below the surface of the wood. Replace the top on the base, align it, and mark the screw holes on the edges of the base X. With a 1/16-inch or #52 bit, drill pilot holes 1 inch deep at the marked points on the edges of the base.

Apply a coating of hide glue to the edges of the base X, set the top into place, and secure the top to the base with 2-inch #6 flathead wood screws through the holes in the top and into the predrilled holes in the base. Quickly turn the stand over and wipe off any excess glue.

Using plastic wood, fill screw and nail holes and any visible cracks at the edges of the half-round molding. Lightly sand the top of the stand to remove the penciled X, and sand all visible wood surfaces as necessary. Paint or stain as desired.

When the plant stand is dry, move your favorite flower or fern onto its new home and enjoy!

HOW to BUILD A DESK

A desk can be a big help in organizing and managing household paperwork, and it need not be elaborate to do a good job. This model is easy to build and can be used even where space is limited.

Tools:
•measuring rule
•pencil
•square
•straightedge
•power saw
•hammer
•miter box
•handsaw
•nail set
•paintbrushes


Materials:
•1 × 4 and 2 × 4 stock
•carpenters' glue
•6-penny finishing nails
•3/4-inch grade A-B plywood
•8-penny finishing nails
•shelf-edge molding
•3/4-inch brads
•wood filler
•sandpaper
•primer
•paint
•two-drawer file cabinet

Time: about 3 to 4 hours, plus time for painting

One side of this desk is supported by the desk top resting
on a standard two-drawer file cabinet.
This desk is designed to accommodate a standard two-drawer file cabinet, measuring 29 inches high, 15 1/4 inches wide, and 22 inches deep, which is set at one end as one of the desk's supports. If the file cabinet you use is a different size, you'll have to alter the following desk dimensions accordingly. The overall dimensions of the desk in this project are 48 inches in length, 24 inches in depth, and 29 3/4 inches in height. This desck can be used with any chair of standard height, including a stenographer's chair.

To begin the project, cut two pieces of 1 × 4 to 30 3/4 inches long, one piece of 1 × 4 to 20 1/2 inches long, and one piece of 2 × 4 to 20 1/2 inches long.

Set the 1 × 4 and 2 × 4 pieces on edge on a flat working surface in the form of a rectangle. Position the 2 × 4 side piece with its outside face back exactly 3/4 inch from the ends of the front and back 1 × 4s. Apply carpenters' glue to the joints and, after aligning them carefully, nail them together with two 6-penny finishing nails each.

Cut a 20 1/2 × 29-inch piece of 3/4-inch plywood for the desk's end panel.

Position the panel against the 2 × 4 side piece on the outside face, between the front and back pieces, with the top edge flush with the top of the desk frame. Apply glue to the butt joints and a generous coating of glue to one face of the end-panel/side-piece joint. Secure the panel by driving a pair of 8-penny finishing nails through the faces of the front and back pieces of the framework and into the edges of the plywood panel. Also drive six 6-penny finishing nails -- staggered and spaced -- through the face of the end panel and into the 2 × 4 side piece.

The desk frame is 1 × 4s, with a 2 × 4 reinforcement along the end panel.
The top overhangs the frame.
Cut a 24 × 48-inch piece of 3/4-inch plywood for the top of the desk, with the plywood face grain running lengthwise. Apply glue to the top edge of the desk-frame/end-panel assembly, and position the top so that it overhangs at the rear by 3/4 inch, at the front by 11/4 inches, and at the right side by 1 inch. Nail the desk top to the framework with 6-penny finishing nails, which should be driven through the top and into the edges of the frame members and end panel. Secure the desk top with nails at each corner, spaced about 2 inches from the corners in each direction, and space the remaining nails about 11 to 12 inches apart. Drive three more 8-penny finishing nails down into the 2 × 4 side member.

Cut strips of shelf-edge molding to fit along the front and side edges of the desk top and to cover the front edge of the end panel. Work carefully and fit each piece of molding individually. If you use square-edge molding, butt joints can be employed, but rounded-edge molding is best mitered to 45 degrees to form perfect right-angle corners on the top piece.

Apply glue to the molding and position the strips. Once in place, secure the strips with 3/4-inch brads.

With a hammer and nail set, sink all nailheads slightly below the surface of the wood. Fill the nailhead holes, as well as any imperfections in the wood surface or joints, with wood filler. Then sand the entire desk to a smooth finish.

Apply a coat of primer, followed by two coats of semigloss interior latex (or other) paint. Let the paint dry completely; then set the desk into position over a two-drawer file cabinet.

Ta-da! Let the organization begin.

HOW to BUILD A BOOKCASE

The bookcase stands 54 3/4 inches high and 30 inches wide, with three shelves; molding covers the cut edges.

Are books and magazines scattered all over your home or office? Has it been weeks since you saw the surface of your desk or kitchen table? Correct this mess quickly by following these

Tools:
•measuring rule
•pencil
•square
•straightedge
•power saw
•hammer
•miter box
•handsaw
•nail set

Materials:
•3/4-inch grade A-B interior plywood
•carpenters' glue
•6-penny finishing nails
•1/8-inch tempered hardboard
•5/8-inch brads
•1-inch brads
•shelf-edge molding
•wood filler
•sandpaper
•stain or paint

The overall outside dimensions of this bookcase will be 30 inches wide, 12 1/2-inches deep, and 54 3/4-inches high. The bottom shelf will be 15 inches high; and the other two shelves will be 12 inches high.

Cut two 12x54-inch pieces of 3/4-inch plywood for the bookcase sides. Cut a 12x30-inch piece of 3/4-inch plywood for the top. Cut a 12x28 1/2-inch piece of 3/4-inch plywood for the bottom. Cut all pieces so that the face grain of the plywood runs lengthwise.

Set the four cut pieces on edge on a flat working surface in the form of a rectangle, with the bottom piece between the sides and the top piece on top of the sides. Apply a bead of carpenter's glue along all butt joints and align the joints carefully so that all faces are flush. Drive three 6-penny finishing nails into each joint.

Cut a 30x54 3/4-inch piece of 1/8-inch tempered hardboard for the back; make sure that the piece is perfectly square. Set the back on the bookcase frame and adjust it until the frame is square and flush with all edges of the back piece. Apply a bead of glue all along the edge of the bookcase frame and set the back piece into place with its smooth side facing the inside of the bookcase. Secure the back with 5/8-inch brads, about 12 inches apart and 3/4-inch in from the edges.

Set the bookcase up on its side and measure off 15 inches along that side from the face of the bottom piece. With a square and a pencil, make a light line across the side from front to back to mark the edge of the shelf. From that line, measure out 3/4-inch and draw another light line. Measure up another 12 inches and draw a line, then up another 3/4-inch and draw another line. Measure up another 12 inches and 3/4-inch, and draw lines marking the top shelf. Turn the bookcase over onto its other side and repeat to mark the shelves on that side. These guidelines mark the levels where the shelves will be set.

Cut three 11 1/2x28 1/2-inch pieces of 3/4-inch plywood for shelves; make sure that the face grain runs lengthwise. Apply a bead of glue to each end and the back edge of each shelf. Slip each shelf into position, carefully aligned on the guidelines. Nail it in place by driving four 6-penny finishing nails through the bookcase sides from the outside and into the shelf ends at each joint.

Lay the bookcase face down. Measure up from the bottom at each side a distance of 16 1/8 inches, and make a mark at each point. Line the marks up with a straightedge and draw a pencil line between them. Similarly, measure up 12 inches from that line and draw another line, then measure up another 12 inches and make another line. Nail the back piece to the rear shelf edges along these guidelines, using 1-inch brads spaced every 6 inches.

Lay the bookcase face up. Cut two 54 3/4-inch lengths of shelf-edge molding. Miter each end to a 45-degree angle. Apply a bead of glue to the edges of the sides. Set the moldings in place and align them carefully. Secure the molding with 1-inch brads spaced every 10 to 12 inches.
Cut two 30-inch lengths of molding. Miter each end to a 45-degree angle. Apply a bead of glue along the edges of the top and bottom pieces. Set the molding into place and align the pieces carefully. Secure the molding with 1-inch brads spaced every 10 to 12 inches.

Cut three 28 1/2-inch lengths of molding. Apply glue to the leading edges of the shelves. Set the molding in place and secure the strips with 1-inch brads.
With a nail set and hammer, sink all of the nailheads--except those on the back panel--slightly below the surface of the wood. Fill the nailhead holes with wood filler. Sand the bookcase smooth. Finally, stain or paint as desired.

Ki Manteb Soedharsono: ‘Satanic puppeteer’ plays with shadows

Ganug Nugroho Adi, Contributor, Surakarta, Central Java | Sat, 05/29/2010 9:58 AM | People

In 1987, former minister of information Boedihardjo called Ki Manteb Soedharsono a “satanic puppeteer” after watching the

puppeteer from Karanganyar, Surakarta, perform wayang, a shadow play.

Manteb didn’t inherit his nickname because of any devilish traits, but was so anointed in recognition of Boedihardjo’s

admiration for sabetan (the artistic movements in the puppet performances), carried out by the puppeteer.

Manteb said Boedihardjo used the phrase “satanic puppeteer” to praise the puppeteer’s skilful movements, which could not be

equalled. Since then, he has accepted the sobriquet “Satanic Puppeteer”.

It’s now been more than 20 years since Manteb was given the nickname. But the expertise with which the 62-year-old

manipulates the leather puppets has not faded.

In Manteb’s hands, the small puppets are imbued with such strong spirit that they look as though they have come alive. Manteb

is extremely skilful in manipulating his puppets, moving them rapidly from here to there.

“Sabetan isn’t simply a matter of skill, but rather a way to give the puppets spirit. People can learn how to manipulate

puppets in just one month. But without the right skill, the puppets might still appear dead, or without spirit,” Manteb said

at his joglo (traditional Javanese mansion), in the Perum Permata Buana complex, Tohudan, Colomadu, Karanganyar, Surakarta.

When discussing the movements, Manteb admitted he had developed his skills by watching kung fu films starring Bruce Lee and

Jackie Chan. Long before that, Manteb had learned his techniques from Ki Warseno Kethek, a famous puppeteer from Wonogiri. At

the time, Warseno was known to have great sabetan skills.

“I developed my artistic movement techniques from Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan films. Their kung fu movements inspired my

sabetan,” the father of six children said.

Manteb was born into a puppet master family: His grandfather and father, Ki Hardjo Hardjowijoyo Brahim, were both famous and

well-respected puppeteers in their day.

His father and mother, Nyi Darti, a gamelan singer and an eminent gamelan musician, groomed him to be a puppeteer from early

on. From second grade at elementary school, Manteb would tag along with Ki Hardjo to take part in shadow play performances.

At the age of 12, Manteb performed a shadow play in public for the first time.

After being mentored by Ki Warseno Kethek, Manteb perfected the art of puppeteering with Ki Nartosabdo and Ki Sudarman

Gondodharsono, in Semarang.

In 1972, Manteb won the Pakeliran Padat (a shadow puppet theater) contest in Surakarta. From then on, his name shot to fame.

But he still had to fight hard, because during the 1970s and 1980s, Ki Narto Sabdo and Ki Anom Suroto still dominated the

world of shadow puppets.

“Ki Narto was skilful in dramatization, whereas Ki Anom was the vocal expert. I had to be different from them. In the end, I

chose to concentrate on the movements of the puppets,” Manteb said.

Since 1983 he has been putting on regular performances. A puppet stage is set up in his house every Tuesday or Legi (the

first day of the five-day week in the Javanese calendar), coinciding with his weton (birthday in the Javanese calendar). This

event is known as Legen (natural) Tuesday night and presents puppeteers from various regions.

Manteb’s popularity as a national-level puppeteer rose further after he performed a puppet show called Banjaran Bima. (Bima

is a hero in the Mahabharata epic), once a month for a full year (in 12 episodes) in Jakarta, in 1987.

In 2004, Manteb created a record by performing a shadow play for 24 hours and 28 minutes without a break for the Indonesian

Record Museum (MURI).

Even though Manteb tends to perform pakeliran, classical shadow puppets, his shows are nevertheless infused with innovation.

As a puppeteer, he has been a pioneer in innovative visualization, adapting the various elements of modern performances to

enrich the nuances of pakeliran without removing the content and subtleties of Javanese culture. With such creativity, the

artistic space of the kelir (the screen for a shadow play) is seen as more beautiful. This is particularly enhanced by the

lighting design.

For the musical accompaniment, Manteb often uses modern musical instruments such as drums, violins, trumpets, and cymbals, so

the shadow puppet show becomes more attractive and dynamic. In the beginning, this breakthrough attracted criticism from

senior puppeteers. However, many of them eventually supported his innovative spirit.

Although he emphasizes the aesthetic side of pakeliran performances, his shows also provide space for the audience to reflect

on life.

In his shows, which are full of moral messages, social criticisms and solutions to problems, Manteb has always tried to

include meaning and reinterpret the play he is presenting.

“Actually, puppets aren’t just for entertainment, but they also act as a medium for guidance. Wayang creates an opportunity

to learn about life. It exposes different characters so [people’s] behaviors can be understood from the puppets,” Manteb

said.

Fifty years on, the puppeteer’s popularity is still going strong. His fans are spread across various regions in Indonesia,

not only in Java but also overseas.

He has already presented thousands of shows, performed at Ruwatan events (to banish misfortune), celebrations and political

campaigns.

Of the many plays he has staged, a few have become famous including, among others, Banjaran Bima, Ciptoning (about the name

of Arjuna) and Wiratha Parwa (a story about Pandawa, one of the five acknowledged sons of Pandu, in exile after he lost at

dice).

One notable play is Celeng Degleng, a fragment of Manteb’s life, where he interprets the paintings of Djoko Pekik,

particularly his work Berburu Celeng (hunting the wild boar), which describes the fall of the Soeharto regime.

Manteb has taken shadow puppet performances abroad to places like the United States, Japan, and Suriname, countries that have

frequently invited him.

When UNESCO recognized the puppet arts as Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, Manteb was chosen to

represent the community of Indonesian puppeteers and received an award.

In May this year, Manteb is heading to Japan to receive the Nikkei Asia Prize Award 2010 in the field of culture, a tribute

to Asians of outstanding achievement, who have made a significant contribution in the field of regional growth, science,

technology, innovation and culture.

At almost 72, Manteb is aware his time is running out. So he has been grooming future Mantebs. At the moment, for example, he

is teaching approximately 60 children and teenagers.

“Shadow puppets do not die. We, as parents, should know when it is time for regeneration. Do not forget to pass one’s skills

onto others,” he said.
