WOODWORKING for carpentry

WOODWORKING Wood is an inexhaustible material. When a tree is cut down, another tree grows in its place either from a seed that is planted or one that is blown by the wind or dropped by a bird. Unlike metals, the moment the ore is mined from the mountains, all that is left a hole. When the metal rusts, it is wasted and is never replaced in some other way as in the propagation of trees. COAT HANGER Some of the skills developed with this project are the following: a. planning a surface smooth b. planning a piece round or cylindrical c. sawing inside and outside curves with a coping saw or a compass saw d. smoothing inside curves with a half round spokeshave; smoothing an outside curve with a flat – bottom spokeshave e. drilling a hole through f. making a pattern Besides the various skills developed in making a coat hanger, this article has its economic value. Mothers spend some amount of money to provide the family with coat hangers so that shirts and dresses of the children can be kept in the wardrobe without being folded and therefore, are free from creases. The materials for the coat hanger can be taken from scrap pieces of wood found in the shop or in the home. The materials needed are as follows: 1. A piece of wood, tanguile, 1.95 cm x 7.62 cm x 40.64 cm ( ¾” x 3” x 16” ) 2. A piece of wire, gauge no. 12 about foot long The pant hanger may be taken from the excess of 1.27 cm . (1/2”) of the width of the stock. The tools needed are as follows: 1. a rule 2. a coping saw or a compass saw 3. a smooth plane 4. a flat bottom spokeshave and a half – round spokeshave 5. a hand drill with .317 cm. ( 1/8”) bit. The steps in making a coat hanger are as follows: 1. Prepare the pattern for the hanger. A half – pattern may be prepared. Do it on a piece of cartolina or any cardboard. 2. Plane smoothly the surfaces of the stock. 3. Trace the pattern on the stock 4. With a coping saw or a compass saw, saw out the coat hanger. 5. Smoothen the outside curves with a flat – bottom spokeshave. Smoothen the inside curves with a half – round spokeshave. 6. Prepare the pant hanger. Round the piece with the smooth plane. 7. Lay - out the hole for the wire suspender. 8. Drill the hole through for the wire suspender. 9. Lay out the holes for the wire holder of the pant hanger. 10. Drill the holes for the wire holder of the pant hanger. 11. Drill holes on both ends of the pant hanger. 12. Prepare the wire suspender and the wire holders for the pant hanger. 13. Insert the wire suspender through the holes. Shape it as illustrated. 14. Drive the wire holder for the pant hanger into the hole. Insert the other end of the wire holder into the holder at the end of the pant hanger. 15. Apply finishing materials if desired.
