WHAT CONSTITUTES AN AGILE ORGANIZATION? ? DESCRIPTIVE RESULTS OF AN EMPIRICAL...iasaglobal
The survey items emerged from a comprehensive literature review that identified 33 concepts of agility. These concepts were formulated as questionnaire items with support from already existent studies. To ensure an appropriate measurement, different scales were used, because as Tsourveloudis and Valavanis (2002) point out, the parameters affecting agility are not homogenous. In our opinion, an organization is not agile when its employees and managers ?agree? with statements describing agility or when they ?think? they are agile. Instead, it is the actions, capabilities, values, etc. of an organization that represent its agility.
This literature review discusses previous research on the relationship between tyre load, temperature, and contact patch.

Introduction
The following is a workshop diary which outlines the processes taken to manufacture a Gimson
inspired bow-front cabinet on a stand, which was the final year capstone piece. The diary first starts
with the pre-production prototype. This was the stage where designs were worked out in the
workshop before manufacturing could begin. During this stage different construction details were
worked out but some of the jigs were also made.
Following from the pre-production prototype is the production of the actual piece. The diary outlines
the sequence of operations that was followed and states rough times in which it took to complete
each task. To see the completed artefact and any related documents, visit https://dan-cash-

Pre-production prototype
The prototype was an opportunity to pay attention to areas of the piece which were hard to visualise
through drawings. It was also a chance to make jigs to produce the actual piece. I first made a base
frame from scrap wood that was laying around. The original design had straight, square section legs
as seen here in the first image. I thought
this made the base look very plain and
that a slight taper would add more to the
look of the piece. This meant a slight
change had to be made to the sectional
size of the side stretchers so the through
tenon would be centred on the tapered
leg.
Another decision I needed to make
before production was how I should
wedge the through tenons in the base
frame. As The idea behind the through
tenons was to highlight the joinery
methods, I wanted to explore more than
one option. I made a quick sample of two through tenons and wedged them differently. An image of
the sample is shown here in figure 2. I like the look of the wedge being inserted a few mm into the
tenon, but I am not sure how this will affect its strength.

Workshop diary
Day 1
9:00 – 13:00
• Began with timber selection. Using chalk, mapped out what parts would come from
which boards. Assessed each board individually for its grain pattern, sap wood and
suitability for each component.
Figure 3. Marking the planks with chalk. I tried to mark out longer rips where possible.

Figure 7. All components marked out on boards.
13. 6
• Crosscut any boards that did not need to be ripped. These were mainly the larger
pieces which make up the cabinet sides and top.
• Used the rip saw to rip long lengths.
• Went back to the chop saw and finished cross cutting the longer lengths.
• Organised all the components, placed all the base parts together, door parts together,
drawer parts together etc.
Day 2
9:00 – 13:00
• Started by planning one face and edge of all the legs, aprons, and stretchers.
• Thicknessed all parts to size.
• At this point, ripped and planed a piece of maple that will make the wedges. Did not thickness
it yet as I wanted to have the mortices completed so I could check the fit as I thicknessed it.
• Marked out all mortices, shoulders for the tenons and marked the taper on one leg. Still need
to make a jig to cut the taper with this leg and then just use the jig to cut the rest without
marking them.
Figure 8. Leg pieces planed on single face and edge.
14. 7
• Before chopping the mortices, made an angled block with a slope of 1:8. This was to accurately
chop the angled mortices that will take the wedges.
• Chopped all the mortices.
• After chopping all the mortices for the tenons, then chopped out the mortices for the
wedges using the angled block made earlier.
Figure 9. A piece of waste material that I used to make a wedge to use in the morticer.
Figure 10. Leg angled in morticer with angled block placed underneath.
15. 8
Day 3
9:00 – 12:00
• Made setting out of side stretcher to accurately mark splayed shoulders
• This was also used to mark the taper on the legs.
• Used tenoner to make tenons on all the stretchers and aprons. For the smaller pieces, they
were left them as one long length so the tenoner could be used for one side of each rail. To
Figure 11. Setting out of legs.
16. 9
cut the other tenon, used the table saw and set the height of the blade to the width of the
shoulder and cut off the cheeks of the tenons.
Figure 13. Using a mortice to check the fit of a tenon on a test piece.
Figure 12. Tenons off the tenoner.
17. 10
12:00 – 13:00
• Used the spindle moulder to take out a small rebate which the banding would be glued into
Figure 14. Tenons cut on the table saw.
Figure 15. Rebate on aprons for banding.
18. 11
• Once the rebate was finished, stained the aprons. This was done as once the banding was
glued in place; it would be very difficult to stain them afterwards without staining the banding.
13:00 – 14:00 Lunch
14:00 – 15:30
• Made a jig to hold the legs at an angle to the saw blade so I could cut out the taper.
Figure 16. Pre staining the aprons
Figure 17. Jig for cutting taper on legs.
19. 12
• Once a taper was cut, the off cut was used as a packer between the leg and the toggle clamp
• Left roughly 1mm on the taper of the legs so it could then be finished off with a hand plane to
remove any saw marks and leave a smooth finish
Figure 18. Using offcut as a packer.
Figure 19. Finished the taper with a hand plane
20. 13
15:30 – 17:00
• Next, made the maple wedges that would wedge the aprons to the legs. Thicknessed a piece
of maple to the same thickness as the tenons, using the mortices as a guide to test the fit.
• After working out an adequate length for the wedges that would leave me room to hammer
them in past the protruding tenons, made a jig that would cut the wedges at an angle on the
bandsaw.
• In preparation for the shelves, broke out a length of timber that would be used to cut the
edging from.
• Thicknessed a length of walnut that would match the thickness of plywood.
• Removed the crosscut fence to rip long lengths. Made a false bed from 3mm MDF which would
stop pieces falling between the blade and table.
• With the rip fence placed on the smaller edge, positioned it 3mm from the blade and locked
it in place.

22. 15
Day 4
9:00 – 9:30
• Using polyurethane glue, the banding was bonded into the rebates on the aprons. Pressure
was applied using masking tape.
9:30 – 12:00
• Cut plywood to rough size for lengths of shelving
• Made sure to have at least 1 straight edge off the saw
Figure 23. Masking tape applying pressure to banding whilst gluing.
23. 16
• Using a template that was made previously, marked the curved pieces of shelving. As these
had extra length on them, the centre point was marked on the edge so I would know where
to mark from when cutting them to final size after veneering.
• Using the bandsaw, cut roughly 2mm from the curved line of the template.
• Next, with the router and a bottom guided flush cut bit, used the template to cut the curved
edge on the plywood.
• Like the banding on the aprons, masking tape was used to apply pressure.
• Instead of polyurethane glue, PVA glue was used this time.
Figure 24. Marking the curve with a template.
24. 17
• For the pieces with a straight edge, they were placed in clamps for extra pressure.
• When gluing the curved edging, pressure was applied with the masking tape at one side and
then made my way across to the other.
Figure 25. Pieces with a straight edge in clamps.

27. 20
Day 5
9:00 – 9:30
• Carefully cleaned up the bandings with a block plane and a card scraper.
9:30 – 11:00
• Then began to glue the base together, one side at a time.
• Glued up both the left and the right sides separately.
• Once each side was in the clamps, checked for square and then wedged them in sequence
using a hammer to hear when the wedges had bottomed out.
Figure 29. Taking light shavings off with a block plane.
28. 21
• Once they were wedged, removed the clamps.
Figure 31. One side still in the clamps with the wedges hammered in
position.
Figure 30. Both sides out of clamps with wedges still in place.
29. 22
• Removed the leftover wedges and proud tenons with a tenon saw, roughly 2mm from the face
of the leg.
• Using a hand plane, flushed off the tenons to leave a smooth surface.
• Once the two sides were ready, repeated the process to attach the two sides with the aprons
and stretcher.
Figure 32. Tenon and wedges flushed to the leg face.
30. 23
• left this in the clamps as one of the components wasn’t wedged and it needed time to let the
glue set.
11:00 – 13:00
• Prepared shelves for veneer
• Removed all the masking tape from the plywood and using an orbital sander with 120 grit
sandpaper, any excess glue was removed and ensured the flat surface of the plywood was
level with the edge of the walnut edging.
Figure 33. Full base in clamps.
Figure 34. Two pieces of ply shelving. One with
leftover glue still on and one after sanding.
31. 24
• Once sanded, then started prepping veneers.
• Cut lengths of veneers two at a time using a straight edge and a Stanley blade. This meant a
book match could be made in the veneer but also meant there was two identical edges to
tape the veneers together.
Figure 35. Using a straight edge to cut a straight line on two pieces of
veneer.
32. 25
Day 6
9:00 – 12:30
• Broke out all parts for drawers and back panel
• Used a setting out of the drawer front to mark the angled shoulders and dovetail sockets
• Using the setting out, measured the angle of the shoulders and made a block to pare with.
• Cut all of the dovetails first. Taped them into pairs
to speed up the process.
• To cut the drawer fronts, first cut the shoulder
housing out of the back.
Figure 36. Using the setting out to make an angled block.
Figure 37. A pair of drawer sides taped together to
speed up the cutting.
33. 26
• Using the angled block made earlier, chiselled to the shoulder line.
• Began cutting out the sockets. Firstly, using a Japanese saw to cut close to the marked line.
• Then chiselled out the rest of the waste before again using the angled block to finish to the
line.
Figure 39. Shoulder housing roughly cut of the drawer front.
Figure 38. Using the angled block to chisel out the rest of the waste.
34. 27
• After fitting the drawer sides into the matching sockets for the drawer fronts, then marked
the drawer backs. Made sure to allow for the 4mm veneered plywood base.
12:30 – 13:00
• For the back panel, marked all the shoulder lines for the tenons on the frame.
• Marked all the mortices and allowed for the groove that would be taken out of the inside
faces.
13:00 – 13:30 Lunch
Figure 41. Sawing close to the marked lines for the dovetail sockets.
Figure 40. Using the angled block to finish to the line.
35. 28
13:30 – 15:00
• Used the morticer to chop out all the mortices and made sure to always have the face side
facing in.
• When breaking out, an extra piece made from softwood was made. This would be used to test
the fit of the tenons and as a test piece for the rebates and grooves.
Figure 42. Chopping out the mortice on the back panel frame.
Figure 43. Testing block for fitting the tenons. Face side has been marked so I can
reference off this side.
36. 29
• After running a test piece in the tenoner and making adjustments so it would match the
mortices, I then tenoned the top and bottom rails of the back panel.
15:00 – 17:00
• Before running the grooves for both the back panel and the drawer base, the plywood would
need to be veneered to ensure a perfect fit.
• Used a flitch of maple veneer and cut out lengths that would suit both the drawer base and
back panel.
Figure 44. Testing the fit of a tenon from the tenoner before cutting the back
panel rail tenons.
37. 30
• Whilst doing so, grain direction grain direction was considered. Vertical grain pattern for the
back panel and the grain running from side to side for the drawer base.
• To get a straight edge so veneers could be joined seamlessly, the guillotine was used.
• Using veneer tape, matched up the veneers and taped them together along their edge.
Figure 46. Numbering the veneers in the bottom right-hand corner just in
case they get rearranged.
Figure 45. Veneers cut to rough length. Veneers for drawer base on the left and back panel on the right.
38. 31
• Repeated this process on both sides of the plywood.
• Once the veneers were ready, the hot press was used to glue them to the plywood.
• With a roller, plenty of glue was applied to the plywood and then placed the veneers on top.
Figure 47. Joining veneers for the back panel.
39. 32
• Once in the press, paper was placed on both the top and bottom of the pieces so they wouldn’t
mistakenly stick to the press.
Figure 48. Applying glue to the plywood.
40. 33
Day 7
9:00 – 11:00
• Due to a mistake measuring the veneered back panel, it was mistakenly cut too narrow.
• To save the piece and not have to do a rework, it was decided to add a muntin to the back
panel.
• Marked and morticed in the centre of both
the bottom and top rail of the back panel
frame. These would house the muntin
tenons.
• Broke out a muntin piece and repeated all
the same steps as had previously been taken
to make the tenons on the rails.
11:00 – 12:30
• As the drawer bases had been veneered,
this was able to be used as a test piece for
the grooves.
• Using the spindle moulder, it was set up
with a grooving bit and used the test piece
of material that had been broken out the
day before.
• With this and the drawer panel,
adjustments were made and the correct
heigh and depth for the panel groove were
made.

Figure 51. Muntin for the back panel.
Figure 50. Using the drawer base to test the fit in a groove on a test
piece.
42. 35
• With the spindle moulder set, ran the grooves in the back panel frame.
• Made sure and had the face side facing down on each piece.
• Once the frame was ready, I then cut the panels to size.
• Placed masking tape along the lines where I would cut the panels.
• This was done to reduce break out of the veneers.
12:30 – 13:00
• Once the panels were cut to size, a dry assembly of the back panel was done.
• As the pieces were to be stained, the edges needed to be stained before it was assembled.
• Sanded the edges with 240 grit sandpaper and a sanding block.

• For the drawer bases, they were simply kept square until they ready to be cut them the final
shape.
• To cut the angle, I marked them out with a pencil and clamped a piece of MDF to the table
saw.
• Cut a straight edge on a piece MDF, and to cut the angle on the drawer base, simply placed
the marked line along the straight edge of the MDF and held it in place whilst cutting.
• With the drawer panels cut, a dry assembly of the drawers was done.

Day 8
9:00 – 9:30
• Stained the internal edges of the back panel frame. This was done so I wouldn’t have to stain
them whilst the frame was glued up and risk staining the maple panel.
9:30 – 13:00
• Next, started to shape the curved drawer fronts. Using the template that was made in pre
manufacturing the curve was marked.
Figure 58. Staining the internal edges of the back panel frame.
48. 41
• First tried this process on a test piece.
• The first step was to use the bandsaw to cut the rough shape of the curve.
• Used the belt sander to sand most of the surface to the marked lines.
Figure 59. Test pieces for the drawer fronts.
Piece on the left has the curve marked from the
template and the right piece has the curve cut
out.
Figure 60. Rough curve removed on the bandsaw.
49. 42
• Sanded by hand on any parts that were difficult to get with the belt sander.
• For any deeper marks left by the bandsaw, a card scraper was used to finish the surface.

51. 44
15:30 – 17:00
• After this, moved onto breaking out the walnut for the cabinet.
• As the boards were cupping, they were ripped down to smaller widths, trying to keep at least
two rips per part the same width.
• When selecting the boards, grain was matched as much as possible. When breaking out, some
tear out was experienced so I had to select what faces of the boards would be internal or
external.
Figure 65. Ply parts out of the veneers hot press.
Figure 66. Selecting boards for the cabinet.
52. 45
• When the board locations were selected, then marked the location of the dominoes that
