Tooth Cutting Tools

1. Back Saw – making wood joint.

2. Coping Saw – irregular shape and curves

6. Long crosscut Saw – large and round lumber

 7. Rip Saw – along the grain

8. Dovetail saw-Dovetail Saw - small back saw with a straight chisel type handle ; cut
very fine joints

DRIVING TOOLS

1. Claw Hammer - used to drive and pull out nails on wooden surfaces.

2. Mallet - made out of wood or rubber used to drive other tools like chisel.

3. Nail Set - used in setting the head of a finishing nail below the surface of the wood.

4. Screw Driver - used to drive and loose screws

Wood Lathe Machine

An equipment use to form wood by mean of turning.

PARTS OF WOOD
TYPES OF WOODS
1. LUMBER

Softwood

(coniferous, 20%)

Hardwood

(deciduous trees, 6-12%)

2. Yard Lumber

Select grade-lumber of good appearance that can take different finishes such as stain, paint, and
enamel.

Common grade– suitable for rough carpentry. It is not of finishing quality (eg. Coco Lumber)

3. Manufactured wood

– Also called man-made wood, this are timber sheets which are produced by
gluing wood layers or wood fibers together.

• Wood veneer –thin slices of wood

• Plywood – a sheet material from thin layers or "plies" of wood veneer

• Pressed wood or Fiber wood –Medium-density fiber (MDF), made from woodchips

• Particle board – also known as Low-density fiber (LDF) or chipboard. It’s cheaper, denser and
more uniform than conventional wood and plywood

• Laminated wood – logs are processed by sawmilling and drying

Lumbers are sold following the description:

 Surfaced two side or S2S – planed or smooth on 2 sides.

 Surfaced four side or S4S – planed or smooth on 4 sides.

 Surfaced in two side and one edge or S3S – board has been surfaced S2S first, then one
edge is ripped straight.

 Rough lumber – unplanned usually passes exact dimension in T, W, L.

 Surfaced lumber – Planed lumber usually lessened in actual size by about 3/8 of an inch.
Board foot (unit measurement of lumber) (T” x W” x L’ ) / 12
• Example:

– 7 pieces of 2” x 4” x 12’ , cost Php 11.00 per board feet.

– 2x4x12 = 96/12 = 8 bd. ft. x 7 pcs = 56 bd. Ft.

– (8 bd. Ft. x 7 pcs) x Php 11.00

– 56 bd. Ft. x Php 11.00

– Php 616.00

Common Wood Joints

1. Dado Joint (across the grain) Groove that runs on board, commonly use for making
cabinets and bookshelves.

2. Rabbet Joint (along the grain) Commonly used for making frames to hold glasses in
drawers and other cabinetwork.

3. Mortise and Tenon (force fitting) Oldest and strongest kind of wood joint. This is
considered best for quality chairs, tables and benches.

4. Miter Joint Uses 45 degrees angle cut, intended for making frames.

5. Butt Joint- simple and easiest.

 • WOODWORKING METHODS

• DESIGN A PRODUCT
Designing processes to follow;

1. Purpose

2. Draw a conceptual picture.

3. List the materials needed.

4. List the tools and equipment

5. Prepare drawings

6. Make prototype
• Roof System
1. Shed or Lean-to-Roof – Simplest form of roof consisting of one single slope.

2. Gable or Pitch Roof – Most common type and economical form of roof

3. Hip Roof – Common form used in modern houses

4. Hip and Valley Roof – Combination of hip roof and an intersecting gable roof forming T or L
shaped building.

5. Pyramid Roof – Modification of hip roof

6. Gambrel Roof – Modification of the gable roof with each side having two slopes.

7. Dome – Hemispherical form of roof

Truss
– series of triangles used to distribute load and stiffen the structure spacing

– Girts – the structural member that supports the rafters or truss of a building.

– Collar Beam – ties between rafters on opposite sides of roof.

– Purlins – the structural member placed on top of the rafter or top chord of a truss that
support the roofing materials.
The Stairs
 • The length of the Stringer could be determined by either the use of Pythagorean theorem or by
actual measurement.

Formula:

L = (rise)^2 + (run)^2

L= length of the stringer

rise = height of the flight of the stairs.

run = horizontal distance from the first to the last riser of the stair flight.
