Basic Tools used in wood work

 Today in wood work we learnt about 5 new tools that are being used in wood, There is: Carpenter Pencil,Wood work try square, Marking gauge, sliding bevel, and combination set square. Our task for today was to identify and describe what these different tools are and what they are used for:

Carpenter's Pencil:

What is a carpenter's pencil?:  A carpenter pencil is a pencil that has a body with a rectangular or elliptical cross-section to prevent it from rolling away. Carpenter pencils are easier to grip than standard pencils, because they have a larger surface area. The non-round core allows thick or thin lines to be drawn by rotating the pencil. 

Why is a Carpenter's Pencil flat?: Carpenters pencils are flat in order to keep them from rolling off the surface the carpenter had placed them on. Many times a carpenter or woodworker is holding multiple items in their hand while marking something.

Marking Gauge:

What is a Marking Gauge:A marking gauge is used in woodworking to mark out lines for cutting or other purposes. The main purpose is to scribe a line parallel to a reference edge. The gauge consists of a beam, a headstock, and a scribing or marking implement, typically a pin, knife, pen or wheel. The headstock slides along the beam 

Try Square:

What is a Try Square: A try square or try-square is a woodworking tool used for marking and checking 90° angles on pieces of wood. Though woodworkers use many different types of square, the try square is considered one of the essential tools for woodworking. The square in the name refers to the 90° angle. 

Combination Set Square:

What is a Combination Set Square: A combination square is a multi-purpose measuring and marking tool used in metalworking, woodworking, and stone masonry. It is composed of a rule and one or more interchangeable heads that can be attached to the rule. It is a measuring tool which is designed primarily for measuring angles and lengths. It is used by people working in a number of different trades, including woodworkers.

Sliding Bevel:

What is a Sliding Bevel: A sliding T bevel, also known as a bevel gauge or false square is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. The sliding T bevel can set any angle and transfer it on another piece. The bevel can be used to duplicate an existing angle, or set to a desired angle by using it with any number of other measuring tools

POWER SAWS:

The portable electric circular saw, with the blade attached to a motor shaft, is probably the most commonly used saw, particularly by home handymen.

Hand saws:

A hand saw usually requires muscles because it's really all about swinging the saw and swinging with power that way it will saw it's way into the wood/timber.A hand saw has One big blade like maybe a metre long.It has teeth on the blade at the very bottom.

Sand paper:

Sand paper it like a piece of strong paper with rough layers of rocks I guess on it.Sand paper is used for smoothing out something on you piece of timber/wood like a rough but on your piece of wood the sand paper is used to smoothing it out.

File:

A file is a tool used to remove fine amounts of material from a work piece. It is common in woodworking, metalworking.A file has a square-ish piece of metal attached to a hand-holder.The metal square also has rough bits on it similar to the sand paper.

Drill:

A drill is a man-made machine and is used to create holes in an object like timber.The drill creates a hole for a screw to be screwed in to attached something to another.A has a engine and electric engine with a drill bit attacher at the front.
