The Sukun, Lowokwaru, and Karangbesuki areas of Malang City are known for their supply of construction workers, the most significant proportion being carpenters. However, the transformation of modern construction materials, such as light steel, aluminum, and WPC, is gradually replacing the role of wood in structural work. This has reduced the scope of work for pre-construction carpenters, so a solution is needed to maintain the sustainability of their profession through post-construction work. This community service program is designed in response to this challenge through training in making smart furniture: functional, compact, and modern furniture relevant to the limited space needs of student boarding/rental housing around the State University of Malang campus. The activity methods include concept counseling, introduction to technical design (DED), and direct manufacturing practice in two partner workshops, namely the Revan Furniture and Indah Meubel wood workshops, each making smart furniture using different material variants (solid wood, Dutch teak, multiplex, and HPL finishing). The main work is a folding table and chair unit with dimensions of 120x100x90 cm that can be easily folded for minimalist housing needs. Evaluation of the training and outreach results showed a 45% increase in understanding of working drawings, a 20% increase in jointing skills, and a 20% increase in OSH awareness. This product meets three key criteria for engineered furniture: functionality, ease of use, visual appeal, and comfort. In conclusion, this training enhanced the carpenters' technical capacity and opened up new economic opportunities in the adaptive furniture sector..ABSTRAKWilayah Sukun, Lowokwaru, dan Karangbesuki di Kota Malang dikenal sebagai penyedia pekerja konstruksi, proporsi terbanyak adalah tukang kayu. Namun, transformasi material konstruksi modern seperti penggunaan baja ringan, aluminium, dan WPC, secara bertahap menggantikan peran kayu dalam pekerjaan struktur. Hal ini berdampak pada berkurangnya ruang lingkup kerja tukang kayu pra-konstruksi, sehingga diperlukan solusi untuk mempertahankan keberlangsungan profesi mereka melalui pekerjaan pasca-konstruksi. Program pengabdian ini dirancang sebagai respon atas tantangan tersebut melalui pelatihan pembuatan smart furniture: furnitur fungsional, ringkas, dan modern yang relevan dengan kebutuhan ruang terbatas pada hunian kost/kontrak mahasiswa di sekitar kampus Universitas Negeri Malang. Metode kegiatan meliputi penyuluhan konsep, pengenalan desain teknis (DED), hingga praktik pembuatan langsung di dua bengkel mitra, yaitu bengkel kayu Revan Furnitur dan Indah Meubel, pembuatan smart furniture masing-masing menggunakan varian material berbeda (solid wood, jati belanda, multiplek, dan finishing HPL). Karya utama berupa unit meja-kursi lipat berdimensi 120×100×90 cm yang dapat dilipat secara mudah untuk kebutuhan hunian minimalis. Evaluasi hasil pelatihan dan penyuluhan menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman gambar kerja sebesar 45%, keterampilan kerja sambungan sebesar 20%, dan kesadaran K3 naik sebesar 20%. Produk ini memenuhi tiga dari empat kriteria utama furnitur teknik: fungsionalitas, kemudahan penggunaan, daya tarik visual, dan kekurangan adalah kenyamanan. Kesimpulannya, pelatihan ini meningkatkan kapasitas teknis tukang kayu, dan  membuka peluang ekonomi baru dalam sektor furnitur adaptif.

Building materials that emit pollutants, are non-renewable, and generate environmental waste require attention. Wood, a popular and natural material, is facing increasing scarcity, necessitating a substitute. Laminated bamboo emerges as the most akin and natural alternative to wood. Research into laminated bamboo encompasses diverse cross-sections, joint types, and field applications, demanding further investigation.This study aimed to ascertain failure types and damage patterns in laminated bamboo hollow section beam-column joints modified with glue-in rod-bracket connections, using petung bamboo (dendrocalamus asper). The research employed an experimental approach with descriptive analysis. Joint failures were evaluated based on moment-rotation relationships within prescribed rotational limits per standards, while joint damage was assessed through visual inspection of joint components.The study's dependent variables included thread rod diameters of 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 4 6 embedded thread rods, while the independent variables were failure types and joint collapses. Results revealed serviceability failures in samples 8.6, 10.4, and 10.6. Joint damage across all test specimens primarily manifested as broken thread rods. The highest joint strength observed was 6.28 kNm in sample 10.6, with the lowest at 2.25 kNm in sample 6.4.Based on the findings, increasing thread rod diameters to achieve ductile joints resulted in longer rotations but did not meet the planned strength due to bracket-induced prying effects causing bolt head failure. Despite this, the collapse type aligned with the research plan. Addressing the bracket's fulcrum effect during field applications requires solutions, potentially involving enlarging the bracket's base and increasing the number of thread rod points. The tests did not damage the laminated bamboo components, emphasizing the need to consider laminated bamboo cross-sectional dimensions and thread rod fulcrum effects in subsequent tests to ensure uniform component performance.
