This infonnation consists of the philosophies of the movement, the leaders who contributed to the development of the program, and the objectives on which the program has been es­ t ablished. The body of the report consists of a course of study developed through the use of the instructor's guide sheets. These guide sheets outline each lesson for a step by step presentation. Included with the presentation is the method of presentation and the teaching devices with additional references for each presenta­ tion. Each guide sheet is concluded with the next assignment. This course of study is pr oposed t o meet the needs of a beginning tenth grade woodworking class. Findings and Conclusions: These instructor's guide sheets are intended to be flexible enough to be used individually when the need arises or as a part of the course of study, but no matter how they are used t hey must keep abreast with our advancing society and should be revised whenever necessary to meet the educational needs of the students and to fulfill the objectives of the program.

SUMMARY AJ."'iJD RECOMMENDATIONS 55 Sunnnary • ......•. 55 V Chapter Page Recommendations 56 A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY 57 vi CHAPTER I Introduction Since wood is one of the more abundant resources and because a majority of the household furnishings are constructed of wood it seems only fitting that the students should be introduced to woodworking. Many articles can be constructed in the woodworking shop which will enhance the beauty of the home, serve as a process for learning industrial methods, and develop future consumers knowledge. Woodworking, as a part of the general education curriculum, should emphasize the development of desirable working habits, the understanding of industry and its part in'our culture, the development of problem solving techniques, and the development of some skill in the use of the common tools and machines. Purpose of the Study. This study is planned to serve as an aid to the writer in helping to organize the course material into an orderly step by step procedure for classroom presentation. It is the hope of the writer that through the use of the step by step presentation of the lesson content the hit and miss type of presentation will be eliminated. The Problem Stated. The scope of the problem is to develop an adequate course of study through the use of the instructor's guide sheets. This course of study.must be applicable to beginning tenth grade wood­ working students and must be based upon the objectives of the industrial arts program. 1 2 Research Technique Used. The contents of this report will be obtained from books, magazines, bulletins, and reports found in the Oklahoma State University library. Additional information may be ob- tained from the industrial arts library at Oklahoma State University and from the personal library of the writer. Definition of Terms. In order to gain a better understanding of the terms used in this report it is necessary to define them at this time as such. Manual Training. A historical term describing education of the mind through the hands based on work instructions in the elementary industrial processes and the theory of formal discipline. It was offered originally for general educa­ tional value without regard to vocation and usually applied to the training of boys. (10, page 6) Manual Arts. The term came into use to express emphasis on the art side of manual training. In 1893, this term was used at Teachers College, New York City, to designate a building expressly for art and manual training. (4, page 441) Industrial Arts. Industrial arts is the study of materials and of the desirable changes made by hand or by several manu­ facturing processes from the raw state into products de­ signed to meet the consumer's needs and comforts for daily living. (9, page 5) General Education. For practical purposes the term implies three basic ·principles: (1) to transmit a way of life, (2) to improve and reconstruct that way of life, and (3) \ to meet the needs of individuals. (13, page 3) The Plan of the Report. Chapter two will be devoted to the history and philosophy of industrial arts from the early beginning to the present time. It includes the early leaders in the field and their contributions. Also, chapter two will contain the formulated objectives of industrial arts. Chapter three contains a course of study for a beginning tenth grade woodworking class. It contains the objectives for each lesson, presentation of the material, and the techniques and devices for presenta- tion. Chapter four will give the summary and recorrnnendations of the author. 3 In order to develop an adequate course of study for a beginning tenth grade woodworking class it will be necessary to review the past happenings during the development of the industrial arts program and the objectives of the ·program that determine the content of each lesson. This material will be covered in Chapter II of this study. CHAPTER II HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY 01" INDUSTRIAL ARTS Before entering into a study of the present day industrial arts program a review of the past becomes necessary so that one may better understand how the present program was developed. The material in this chapter deals with the periods which influenced the movement, the leaders who contributed to the development, and the objectives on which the present program is based. PART A Early History of Industrial Arts The ideas of industrial arts dates back beyond the time of recorded history. Primitive man was the first to use his hands in order to over­ come such environmental conditions as, providing food, clothing, and ) shelter for his family.

  • ADB Staked Armchair
    STAKED ARMCHAIR Chapter 2 Armbows are diff icult creatures. here’s something about building an armchair that tips the mental scales for many woodworkers. Making a stool is easy – it’s a board withT legs. OK, now take your stool and add a backrest to it. Congrats – you’ve made a backstool or perhaps a side chair. But once you add arms to that backstool you have committed a serious act of geometry. You’ve made an armchair, and that is hard-core angle business. Yes, armchairs are a little more complicated to build than stools or side chairs. But the geometry for the arms works the same way as it does for the legs or the spindles for the backrest. There are sightlines and re- sultant angles (if you need them). In fact, I would argue that adding arms to a chair simplifies the geometry because you have two points – the arm and the seat – to use to gauge the angle of your drill bit. When you drill legs, for example, you are alone in space. OK, I’m getting ahead of myself here. The key point is that arms are no big deal. So let’s talk about arms and how they should touch your back and your (surprise) arms. Staked Armchair all sticks are on 2-3/4" centers 2-3/4" 4-1/2" 3-1/2" 65° 38° 2-1/2" 2-1/2" CHAPTER II 27 Here.

    handwork The only hand tools I really need FROM MILLING AND LAYOUT TO FITTING JOINTS AND SMOOTHING, THIS TIDY KIT DOES IT ALL BY GARRETT HACK am fortunate to teach woodworking classes around the United States, in Canada, and in faraway places such as Japan and Germany. I learned early on that I need my own tools with me when I teach, ones that I know well and that are dependable, perfectly tuned, and sharp. Through the years, I’ve worked to minimize Ithe number of tools in my kit. It has to be complete enough to build a whole project, yet light enough to carry through airports and on buses and trains. Although I am still fine-tuning my kit—replacing a tool with a lighter version, for example—it’s proven to be lean and capable of a wide range of work. When it comes to hand tools, this kit contains all I need. Garrett Hack is a contributing editor. COPYRIGHT 2017 by The Taunton Press, Inc.
