Branco Assistant Professor ISISE, Dept. Civil Eng., University of Minho Guimarães, Portugal Thierry Descamps Assistant Professor URBAINE, Dept. Structural Mech. and Civil Eng., University of Mons Mons, Belgium 1. Introduction Joints play a major role in the structural behaviour of old timber frames [1]. Current standards mainly focus on modern dowel-type joints and usually provide little guidance (with the exception of German and Swiss NAs) to designers regarding traditional joints. With few exceptions, see e.g. [2], [3], [4], most of the research undertaken today is mainly focused on the reinforcement of dowel-type connections. When considering old carpentry joints, it is neither realistic nor useful to try to describe the behaviour of each and every type of joint. The discussion here is not an extra attempt to classify or compare joint configurations [5], [6], [7]. Despite the existence of some classification rules which define different types of carpentry joints, their applicability becomes difficult. This is due to the differences in the way joints are fashioned depending, on the geographical location and their age. In view of this, it is mandatory to check the relevance of the calculations as a first step. This first step, to, is mandatory. A limited number of carpentry joints, along with some calculation rules and possible strengthening techniques are presented here.

I used to cut the joints with a combination of hand and power tools, but I quickly realized that I had to find a more efficient way if I was going to keep the price of my furniture out of the stratos- phere. I tried many different methods, but when I saw furniture maker and teacher Gary Rogowski using a slot mortiser, I was sold on the idea. A slot mortiser basically is a table with a thing I needed—except fit into my budget. axes, stops to control mortise width and horizontally mounted router equipped Prices for joint-making machines and com- depth, and a system to index and secure with a spiral bit.

    Howard Brady WOOD DESIGNS Copyright © 2019 by Howard L. Brady Note: Every item shown in this album was an original, one-of-a-kind design. The design process from concept through crafting to the finished item is a source of incredible satisfaction to me, and a process that extends well beyond woodworking into music composition, and (with my brother) creation of innovative educational materials. A few years before I retired, Dave Campbell, a senior engineer and friend at Skydata where I worked, remarked that as a writer of technical communications documents for satellite communications equipment, I was an “information designer.” Those were kind works, and, I hope, accurate. This octogenarian loves designing. ii Toys for my great-grandson, Mason: The front-end loader and dump truck were my first major toy designs, built November 2017. Most solid wood is poplar, plywood parts are Baltic birch, dark wood is Indian rosewood, from a local tree destroyed in one of the 2004 hurricanes. Metal parts were aluminum (truck bed edge rails, front end loader bucket and crosspiece), brass (truck steering components) and stainless steel (all fasteners, operating levers). Lever and knob above truck cab controls steering. 1 Built March 2018: Toy box for Mason’s third birthday, May 6th: 2 November 2018: Toy flat-bed wrecker and grumpy wrecked race car for Mason’s Christmas. One of Mason’s parent’s close friends is Tim Daugherty, who races his #88 car (so far NOT wrecked) in figure-8 races at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Southern California.

The first section outlines the rationale and content of the two training programs as well as the basic VESL objectives that they seek to address. The next section, a VESL learning guide, discusses the main principles of the ESL method, learning characteristics of ESL students, the ESL learning environment, curriculum development, teaching techniques (including survival and competency-based methods, the notional-functional approach, use of the world outside the classroom, and total physical response), student assessment, and placement levels. Educational goals and curriculum design are covered next. The carpentry curriculum includes 25 units that are intended to provide students with hands-on and classroom instruction in the identification, proper handling, care, and maintenance of trade tools and equipment; the fundamental processes and techniques of the carpentry trade; applicable codes and safety practices; and blueprint reading and job estimation techniques.
