Luxury furniture is popular, carpenter is sought after, 300 daily salary, difficult to hire

The daily salary is 300 yuan, and the high or even monthly salary is 15,000 yuan. With the popularity of mahogany and other precious furniture made by traditional crafts, woodworkers with traditional handicrafts are also sought after, and the salary is increasing year after year.

However, the Herald reporter learned that although the salary is attractive, the traditional carpentry is declining every year and has become a "best seller". At present, it is almost "difficult to find a job".

Recruit 50 woodworkers only 20 people apply

Starting at 300 yuan per day, including board and lodging, working 8 hours a day, if you work overtime, every hour will be calculated according to the above standards. This is the recruitment conditions for carpentry from the Xiamen Gaojun Redwood Furniture Company in the new year. But such attractive conditions did not elicit a desirable effect.

"At present, only about 20 people have intentions, and several of them are still swinging around." Huang Shan, general manager of Gaojun Redwood, told the Herald reporter that this year the company plans to expand the recruitment of 50 carpenters and added 20 on the basis of a daily salary of 280 yuan last year. Yuan, but it seems that this wish is hard to realize.

"Now carpentry is more sought-after, many masters are still comparing and watching in their hometowns, and go wherever the salary is high." Some practitioners told the reporter that the daily salary of 300 yuan is only the price of ordinary carpentry. If you are a master with good craftsmanship, Wages are higher, and furniture companies have to "bond" them with bonuses or red envelopes every month.

According to Huangshan, several masters of their company can get about 15,000 yuan per month. Not only that, when these carpenters came home for the Spring Festival, the company had to buy them a good ticket, and in order to keep a good master, the boss even had to come to the house to pay a New Year visit.

"Carpentry wages are rising every year, with an overall increase of at least 10%." For this, Peng Jianchu, the executive director of Redwood Furniture for years, felt the same way. According to him, the carpentry wages in Xiamen are higher than those in Guangdong and Xianyou. The monthly salary of ordinary carpenters in the above areas is about 6,000 yuan, and the monthly salary of a good teacher can be tens of thousands.

Traditional carpenters may fear no one

Although salaries are increasing year by year, carpenters with traditional woodworking skills are decreasing year by year.

"Apprentices need at least 5 years, and after the expiration, they may not be able to become real carpenters." According to industry insiders, traditional woodworkers need a solid foundation, and not many people are competent. Like the most commonly used tenon structure in the traditional process, the technical requirements are very high. There can be no deviation in the production of the middle scale. Even if the gap at the connection can only be stuffed with one hair, it will affect the overall line and shape.

However, due to the relatively hard materials such as mahogany wood, the technical requirements for carpentry are higher. It is understood that currently, valuable furniture carpentry is mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan and Hunan.

Why is the traditional job of carpentry more and more in short supply? "It's hard work, and the social status is not high." An insider analyzed. According to him, even those old carpenters with high salaries are reluctant to let their children inherit their craft, but choose to send them to college or find another way out. "If you go on like this, in another 10 years, this technology may be unsuccessful." The above-mentioned industry insiders are worried.

Process cost accounts for 50%

The rising wages of woodworking have made the cost of many valuable furniture increasingly higher.

Some practitioners told the Herald reporter that in the past, when determining the basic price, wood, craftsmanship, and styles each accounted for 1/3, but now, craftsmanship has accounted for 50% or even more.

For example, if the above-mentioned manufacturers make a set of African rosewood simple Ming-style sofas (5 sets), the materials needed are about 1.5 tons. Based on the current calculation of African rosewood from 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan / ton, the cost of wood is up to 7,000 yuan. In terms of craftsmanship, the time required for bare carpentry is at least 15 days. Based on 300 yuan a day, the carpentry fee is 4,500 yuan. In addition, the engraving labor cost is about 4,000 yuan, and the polishing labor cost is nearly 2,000 yuan. Even if it does not count other processes, the process cost has exceeded 10,000 yuan.

Woods such as Vietnam and Laos rosewood, although more expensive, have higher process costs. The same set of furniture, other wood can be completed in 15 days, and this kind of precious furniture will be required by the boss to extend it to 20 days or even longer, naturally increasing the cost of craftsmanship.
