WOOD WORKING

SAWING TECHNIQUE AND WOOD JOINT IMPORTANT POINT TO REMEMBER

WOOD WORKING

 The sawing method that produces boards with a straight grain pattern is called "rift sawing" or "quarter sawing."
 Rift sawing is a method of cutting logs into boards where the cuts are made perpendicular to the growth rings of the tree.
 Quarter sawing is a similar method that involves cutting logs into quarters and then sawing the boards from the center of each quarter
 primary method used to convert round logs into squared timbers-Hewing
 type of wood screw is best suited for use with hardwoods-. Flat head screw
 type of wood router is best suited for freehand cutting and shaping- Plunge router
 describe the process of cutting a piece of wood at an angle other than 90 degrees -Beveling.
 the most common type of screw head used in woodworking-Phillips head
 advantage of using a bandsaw instead of a circular saw for sawing lumber- bandsaw can cut curves.
 type of saw commonly used for crosscutting lumber=. Miter saw
 type of joint commonly used in woodworking to join two boards at a right angle-. Butt joint
 CANT – is a sawn log that is sent to another machine for additional processing by head saw
 the primary purpose of a gang saw in a sawmill- to crosscut lumber into shorter lengths
 edger in a sawmill- To straighten rough lumber before it is cut into boards
 cant sawing – the first sawing machine cut log into sides board and a cant centre part, the cant is then rotated by 90 degree and cut by the second sawing machine into board and centre board
 combination set – instrument has all feature try-square, bevel protractor, rule, scriber.
 Vice – To hold a work piece rigid at a stationary position.
 Strongest joint in wood working mortise and tenon joint but for cabinet work is dovetail joint
 Wooden jack pl
 types of saw is best for making precise, straight cuts in wood- Table saw
 woodworking tools is used to measure the angle of a joint -Bevel gauge
 woodworking tools is used to create a curved edge on wood- Spokeshave
 join two pieces of wood at a right angle, with one piece of wood fitting into a groove in the other - Rabbet joint
 joint is made by cutting a groove in one piece of wood and fitting a tongue into the groove on the other piece- Tongue and groove joint
 woodworking tools is used to cut curves in wood - Scroll saw
 woodworking joint is made by cutting a notch in one piece of wood and fitting the other piece of wood into the notch - Bridle joint at edges and many notches – finger joint
 woodworking joint is made by cutting a notch in one piece of wood and fitting the other piece into the notch at a right angle - Halved joint
 joint is made by cutting a notch in one piece of wood and fitting the other piece into the notch at an angle -Scarf joint
 joint is made by cutting a series of interlocking wedges in each piece of wood- Finger joint
 tools is used to make a bevelled edge/ decorative edges on a piece of wood /decorative patterns on the surface of wood - Router
 joints involves cutting a series of interlocking wedge-shaped protrusions into two pieces of wood that fit together to form a strong joint-Dovetail joint
 biscuits = are small, oval-shaped pieces of wood or plastic that used to join two pieces of wood together
 dowels are cylindrical rods made of wood, metal,plastic, and are used to join two pieces of wood together
 The 7elements of design are the fundamental aspects of any visual design which include shape, color, space, form, line, value, and texture
Color: Color helps establish a mood for your composition
Line: Line refers to the way that two points in space are connected
Value: In design, value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color
Space: Making proper use of space can help others view your design as you intended
Shape: In its most basic form, a shape is a two-dimensional area that is surrounded by an outline
Form
Texture: Texture is one of the elements of design that is used to represent how an object appears or feels
 Designing and fabricating a woodworking product involves several steps, including-
Ideation and Design/ Material Selection/ Cutting and Shaping:/ Joinery:/ Finishing/ Quality Control
 connectors is used to join two pieces of wood at a right angle and provides a clean, concealed joint -Pocket hole joint
 connectors is used to join two pieces of wood where one piece is set into a slot cut into the other piece Dado joint
 woodworking techniques involves cutting a piece of wood at an angle to create a beveled edge- Chamfering
 type of joinery that is used to connect two pieces of wood at a right angle- Butt joint
 coupling agent-A chemical that helps to bond the wood fibers with the thermoplastic resin in the composite material
 A thermoplastic can be melted and re-formed multiple times, while a thermoset plastic cannot be re-formed after it has been cured
 primary purpose of a metal ring (washer) in wood construction- To prevent the wood from splitting
 advantage of using screws instead of nails in wood construction- Screws are less likely to split the wood
 number of nails or screws required to join two pieces of wood- Fastener frequency
 common use for wood dowels in construction- joining wood boards edge-to-edge
 metal fastener is typically used for securing/hold wood framing to concrete or masonry- Wedge anchors
 metal ring is typically used to provide extra grip for a screw in soft or brittle wood- Star washer
 metal ring fasteners is best suited for use in hardwoods -Screw shank nails
 metal ring fasteners is best suited for use in softwoods -Annular ring nails
 What is the most commonly used metal for ring fasteners in wood construction-Steel
 Which type of metal ring fastener is the most suitable for exterior wood applications-Aluminum
 Which type of metal ring fastener is the most suitable for interior wood applications-Steel
 What is the recommended diameter of a metal ring fastener for softwood- 1/2 inch
 What is the recommended diameter of a metal ring fastener for hardwood-5/8 inch
 recommended spacing between metal ring fasteners when joining two pieces of wood together-8 inches
 metal ring fastener is the most suitable for heavy-duty wood construction applications-Steel
 metal ring fastener is the most suitable for light-duty wood construction applications-Aluminum
 metal ring fastener is the most suitable for joining two pieces of pressure-treated wood together-Steel
 What is the recommended length of a metal ring fastener for softwood-1-1/4 inches
 Metal ring fasteners are often used in which type of woodworking joint- Lap joint
 what is the recommended spacing for metal ring fasteners in a woodworking joint- 4 inches
 example of a metal ring fastener that is designed to be used with a screwdriver= Screw eye
 What is the recommended depth for a metal ring fastener in a woodworking joint-1/2 inch
 metal ring fastener is typically used in hardwood flooring applications- Cleat nails
