6. Project one Project Brief This introductory project allows you to practice basic hand skills in marking out and cutting whilst at the same time learn about visualisation and design. It involves two key features in woodworking: groove rebate After you have created a 3D “abstract” structure featuring both through and stopped grooves and rebates you will cut a groove to fit a piece of wood which in essence is a joint piece of Jelutong or pine approx 10” x 4” x 3” grooves & rebates MENU On a prepared piece of wood, use a ball point pen, try square and marking gauge to mark out a groove across the grain. First see Hand tools and Golden Rulesprepared piece of wood Hand toolsGolden Rules Remove the waste using a tenon saw, chisel and mallet 1 2 On another surface mark out and cut a rebate using a tenon saw 3 Using all the surfaces cut some more grooves and rebates including stopped grooves and rebates 4 Using a saw and chisel explore the block with these features making them larger if the lines are not cut accurately until you get it right 5 Draw your ideas on paper as the abstract block evolves See Drawing Mark out and cut a groove copying from another piece to fit a “joint” See Wood JointsWood Joints 6 help Exit

7. Project two This project explores basic frame and carcase constructions MENU In this project the practical exercise is to create a small framework using 50 x 25mm prepared soft wood framework carcase Most woodwork items use either or both Nails and glue suffice for very basic constructions but for strength, durability and visual appeal we should consider other methods. Joints such as halvings, mortice & tenons, mitres and dovetails can be used for solid wood frameworks. carcase framework halving mitre loose tenon tenon Carcase and frame constructions can be jointed with biscuits and dowels See wood joints wood joints See Power toolsPower tools This framework explores four different basic joints and includes a routed rebate on the rear for a plywood panel halving dowel Biscuit mitred Dovetail halving This framework serves as a picture frame to mount the Certificate for the Design and Make in wood course.

9. Golden Rules of Woodwork MENU If you learn these seven key rules right from the start it will pay huge dividends to the speed and accuracy of your work. The mother of all rules is : Get it right first time and don’t fuss about with it ! 1 2 Always shade waste. It highlights the portion to be cut away. Use diagonal lines for maximum clarity. 3 Use face marks as a reference for measuring and marking. 4 Always saw on the waste side of the line sawing down the grain first, then across, to avoid splitting the wood 5 Always leave the line on. If you cut past it you lose your reference point 6 Chisel across the grain first and then down, otherwise the wood will split 7 Avoid short grain. Y should be longer than X help Always use a line when working wood. You can remove it right at the end. Making ProcedureMaking Procedure Exit

10. Preparation of timber MENU Successful accurate woodworking relies on the wood being accurately dressed to size before you start making. The requirements for Preparation of timber are : All adjacent surfaces are “square” All surfaces are smooth and flat All opposite surfaces are parallel 1 Select and plane face side, checking the surface is flat with a steel rule. See Hand ToolsHand Tools 2 Plane face edge flat and check squareness with a try square 3 Gauge and plane to width using a marking gauge and smoothing plane 4 Gauge and plane to thickness 5 Square off ends using a steel rule, try square and tenon saw Once you have learned the process by hand methods you can use a planer thicknesser to quickly prepare the timber.

13. I X L T Wood joints Joints are at the very heart of woodworking as they form the basis of constructions and add great visual appeal. It helps to know a little about how they work. This video clip demonstrates the principles of jointing. There are four main wood connecting or joint configurations. They are X, L, T and I. Each configurations has a family of joints. Let’s look at a few examples I X L T I L T Wood joints are applied to constructions This video clip demonstrates some basics. MENU click on videos to play again help Exit

14. Tool care MENU You don’t need the most expensive tools to do the job but they must be looked after and most importantly – kept sharp. A plane blade should be re-sharpened every hour of use. Grinding is only necessary if the blade gets badly worn or chipped. Router bits should be carefully honed on the inside edges using a diamond whetstone. Prevent rust by installing a de-humidifier if your workshop is damp. Careful racking and storing of tools makes your workshop more orderly and pleasuirable to use. help Exit

15. Making procedure There are seven major steps to making most woodworking articles (other than wood turnery) MENU Selection of materials 1 Individually select each piece of wood looking for bowing, knots and splits Preparation of materials 2 Sometimes you can purchase the timber already machine dressed Marking out 3 Involving steel rule or tape measure, try square, marking knife or biro Cutting operations 4 Involving tools such as a saw, chisel, plane, drill, router etc. Cleaning up 5 Cleaning up involves planing and sanding and is done before and/or after Assembly (internal surfaces are cleaned up before) Assembly 6 This involves the use of glue and clamps Finishing 7 Finishes range from oils and lacquers to wax depending on the timber and its use help Exit

16. Drawing Drawing is an essential part of woodworking – being able to communicate ideas freely and quickly on paper to solve problems. MENU VP1VP2 VP3 Making quick freehand perspective sketches with a soft pencil or biro is the most useful. This is how you make a perspective sketch of the abstract block in project one. First draw a horizontal eye level line with two vanishing points VP1 and VP2. Next draw the vertical axis and add the third point of perspective - VP3. Add two marks to depict the height of the object. Now join lines from these marks to the vanishing points at VP1 and VP2 Add marks to depict the width and depth of the object and join lines to VP1 and VP2. Now thicken the lines of the outline. Remember the projection lines are feint and the outlines are bold. Use this procedure to add extra features on the abstract block such as grooves and rebates, using projection lines first and then drawing the outline. With a little practice you can make quick sketches without using the grid, once you understand where the vanishing points are. You can use either a ruler or practice drawing freehand. Use the sketches to add dimensions to the item of woodwork you are making If you need to watch the perspective grid process again, EXIT from the programme and re- load the disc and return to this page for the sequence to repeat. Here are some examples of freehand sketching by Jeremy Broun which have been created quickly using a soft pencil, felt tip pen or ball point pen.

19. About woods Annual rings depict the age of the tree and when planked you can tell which way the board will bend as the annual rings straighten out. Wood is man’s oldest renewable natural resource and its use throughout history has touched almost every human activity from tribal masks, weaponry, and buildings to transport, furniture and paper. There are leaf bearing hardwoods and cone bearing softwoods categorised generally by their physical properties with some exceptions : Pitch pine is a softwood but is very hard Balsa wood is a hardwood but is very soft Logs are converted into boards either by slice cutting or quarter sawing Here are some examples of hardwoods and softwoods Hardwoods are slow growing Softwoods are fast growing The living tree can be 60% water in weight. When felled the moisture content can reduce to 25% but boards needs to be seasoned to around 11% for domestic use.

20. Designing in wood To make something you have designed yourself is immensely rewarding. Lets explore the wheel by using an example of a design by Jeremy Broun for an occasional table. The JKB Design Wheel is aimed to help you design as it allows you to juggle with different ideas. Each concept is a trigger to get the wheel turning. MENU but how do you go about designing and what is Design? A designed object is one that is planned and that fulfills a practical and aesthetic function. It results from asking a lot of questions about the way an object can be made, how it can work, how it will look and what it will cost in terms of materials and time. The table was for an exhibition celebrating the 15 th Century explorer John Cabot. click on video to play again help Exit

21. Glues & finishes Modern glues are stronger than the wood fibres and can cure in as little as 30 minutes The purpose of a wood finish is to protect and enhance the grain. Finishes range from French polish, cellulose, acrylic lacquers to oils and waxes. MENU Titebond PVAEpoxy Cascamite It is best to use clamps to ensure a good glue line. Traditionally, furniture in Britain tends to be over finished. An oil often enhances the piece Oil wax PU varnish Cellulose Acrylic lacquer help View this video on using Cascamite View this video on glues & Titebond Exit

22. Holding devices Plywood bench designed by Jeremy Broun Low cost workmate MENU When making anything in wood it is essential to support the workpiece. When sawing wood if it is not secure the saw will jam. You can hold or grip wood in a vice or by clamping it to a bench. The revolution in workmates offers a combined bench with gripping device and can be as cheap as £10. G clamp help A hotmelt gluegun is a useful ‘extra pair of hands’ for securing work temporarily.
