  • 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.

  • Bench Stop & Hooks
    Bench Stops and Hooks Eight stone-simple designs for gripping your work By Andy Rae Until woodworkers evolve a third hand, we will continue to search for new ways to clamp or hold work to our workbenches. This humble- looking collection of stops and hooks still ranks at the top of my list. As far as shop-made tools go, these extra hands are stone-simple to make and, more importantly, just as easy to use. Bench stops and hooks work by preventing a workpiece from wandering while dressing it with a hand tool. In many cases, this mechanical advantage provides all of the holding power you’ll require to complete a particular task without the need for additional levers or hold-downs. Because no fussy Bench Stop Tips adjustments are necessary, these • Lightly chamfer the bottom • Wax the soles and sides stops and hooks enable you to “working” edges of stops and of the planes that contact shift quickly and seamlessly fences to provide clearance the jigs for better control from one step to the next. for dust and debris. and an easier cut.

AT rn CENTS PER COPY Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis PREFACE In 1922 the International Joint Conference Council of the Print­ ing Industry planned an investigation of the hygiene of the printing trades. The general supervision and control of the investigation was placed by the Joint Council in the hands of Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman. The Bureau of Labor Statistics was, from the start, called into these conferences and subsequently agreed to do a definitely outlined part of the work involved in the general survey. Under the agree­ ment the Bureau of Labor Statistics was to conduct a branch of the work involving the employment of at least one field investigator. Mr. Swen Kj aer was assigned to this field work. The schedules and questionnaires had of course been jointly agreed upon by Doctor Hoffman and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Special Agent Kjaer began his field work in October, 1922, completing it early in 1924. The present bulletin is the beginning of the publication, of the re­ sults of the joint survey of the hygiene of the printing trades made by the International Joint Conference Council of the Printing In­ dustry and the Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation.

  • Type-Composing Machines of the Past, the Present, and the Future
    Type-Composing Machines of The Past, the Present, and the Future. A PAPER Read before the Balloon Society of Great Britain, at St. James’ Hall, October 3rd, 1890. by JOHN SOUTHWARD, Editor “Paper and Printing Trades Journal”; Author of “The Dictionary of Typography.”, “Practical Printing,” “The Principles and Progress of Printing Machinery” Article, “Typography” in “Encyclopaedia Britannica” and “Printing” in “Chambers’s Encyclopaedia” Examiner (1878) in Printing to City and Guilds of London Institute for the Advancement of Technical Education. [COPYRIGHT.] LEICESTER: RAITHBY, LAWRENCE & CO., LIMITED, DE MONTFORT PRESS, 1891. ADVERTISEMENT. The following Paper is given as it was originally written. Owing to shortness of time, some passages had to he omitted in the reading. THE visitor to the composing department of a printing office finds a number of operatives engaged upon a process that is, apparently, extremely monotonous and fatiguing. Standing before a pair of shallow wooden trays, known as cases, inclined desk-like, the compositor holds in his left hand what is called a composing-stick a little iron or brass frame, one side of which is movable, so that it may be adjusted to the required width of the page or column which the workman has to set up. The "copy" from which he works rests on the least-used part of the upper case. The practised compositor takes in several words at a glance provided the author writes an intelligible hand, which virtue is by no means universal. One by one, then, the compositor puts the letters of each word and sentence into his stick, securing each letter with the thumb of his left hand, which is, therefore continually travelling from the beginning to the end of the line.
