  • The Basic Toolkit
    THE BASIC TOOLKIT There is a constant stream of members joining the Guild who are new, or relatively new, to woodworking, and who have little by way of hand tools, but are keen to get started. There are different approaches to this. Firstly there is the saying “Do not sharpen a tool until you need to use it. Do not buy a tool until you need to sharpen it.” On a more practical level, you will want a minimum of tools to get you started. Before cutting a piece of timber, you will need to mark it out. The following will start you off: ♦ A ruler for measuring, such as a 300 mm steel rule, and a tape measure — with readable scales. ♦ A marking knife and a pencil (an HB pencil sharpened to a fine point — a flat carpenter’s pencil is too coarse for fine marking, but may be useful elsewhere). ♦ A marking gauge — this will allow you to scribe a line parallel to an edge. It is not a difficult tool to make, and is a good early project. ♦ A combination square — this enables you to mark square to an edge, and at 45º. We then move on to cutting. For this I would suggest the following: ♦ A tenon saw, or similar backsaw. ♦ A bench hook — this is a simple, but useful accessory, and like the marking gauge, easy to make. ♦ A coping saw, for cutting curves. ♦ A set of four or five bevel-edged chisels. ♦ A mallet for when you need to strike a chisel. Modern chisels with plastic handles are not damaged by striking with a hammer, but a mallet has a larger striking face, reducing the risk of missing and hitting your hand! Making your own mallet would be a good project.

  • Build a Sawhorse
    Youth Explore Trades Skills Carpenter Build a Sawhorse Description Carpenters need to be able to accurately interpret drawings in order to extract information. Measuring correctly, cutting accurately, and using fasteners appropriately are necessary skills that every carpenter must develop. In this Activity Plan, students will have the opportunity to develop these skills by constructing sawhorses in small groups. Sawhorses are indispensable on a construction site and can prove to be constantly useful around the home. Their versatility is shown by their ability to function as workbenches, stepladders, vises, scaffolding, storage racks, seating, and platform and table supports. Lesson Outcomes The student will be able to: • Extract information from a drawing • Proficiently perform basic measuring and layout • Cut materials in an accurate and safe manner using appropriate tools • Join materials together using appropriate fasteners • Build a sawhorse that can be used in other activities within the course Assumptions The student will: • Have an understanding of measurement systems used in carpentry and the use of tape measures, squares, and basic layout techniques. • Have had an introduction to the safe use of basic hand tools and portable power tools, including portable circular saws, mitre saws, and hammers. • Be aware of common fastening devices, including common and finishing nails, wood screws, and wood glue. Terminology Gusset (cleat): a strip of wood used to strengthen or support the surface to which it is attached. Sawhorse: a beam with four legs used to support a board or plank for sawing. Commonly used to support lumber, or as a work surface. Sliding T bevel: an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles.
