General safety rules
In woodworking an important part of your
experience will be to follow safe practice
and procedure, so that you may not injure
your self as well as others. So, you are
required to study know and learn the

• Always dress properly
• Follow direction
• Keep the shop clean
• Learn to use the tool correctly
• Avoid horseplay
• Report all accident
Measuring & marking out tools
• Among the first things you must learn when
you are with wood are how to make exact
measurement and how to layout the stock.
• Accurate cutting and shaping will be
wasted if the project has not been laid out
with precision.
1. Measuring tool
• Tape rule
• Folding rule
• Try square
• T-bevel
• Caliper
• Combination square
Sawing
• It is the process of cutting of wood to the
required dimension
• On the wood work shop ,the worker man use a
number of different saws.
• There are two type of sawing. This are
1.cross cut saw
2.rip saw
•
A. Cross cut saw (crossing)
• It is the process of cutting wood across the
grain
• the saw teeth sharpened like knife and it will
set
• Set is the process of bending the teeth to the
left and right
• Set makes the saw alternately to the cut wider
than the blade
• The saw cut is culled kerf
Con`d…
• Since the kerfs' is wider then the blade, the
blade will not bind the sawing is done
B.Rip saw (Ripping)
• It means cutting of wood along the grain or
fiber
• The tooth is chisel shaped
• The tooth is chisel alternately to the left and
right
NAILLING
• It is the process of joining or combining
wooden parts together by using nail.
• Choosing the right kind of nail for the job
must done before starting the work
• There are different kind of nail. the most
common are
• During nailing we use different percussion
tool. the most common are
Chiseling
• It is the process of cutting wood using
chisel
• It is specially use for curved surface or
irregular shape that we can not cut with a
saw
• The most common types of chisel are
Making different joint
• Joints-its main function is to attach to parts
together
• Different jobs required different wood
joints provide different strength and style
• There are two common ways to create
wood joints
a.mechanical wood joints
b.non-mechanical wood joints
Mechanical wood joints
• Those joints which required the use of
reinforcement
• The reinforcement are
nail,screw,dwell,metal fastener
• E.g. of Mechanical wood joints
A- butt joints-this kind of joint is used
when strength is not the primary purpose
• B.lap joint
• C.rabbet joint
butt joints
Rabbet joint
Non-mechanical joints
• The type of joint that do not required
reinforcement.
• This type of joint is structurally very strong but
this kind of joint take a lot of practice to be
perfect. E.g. dado joint
dovetail joint
mortise & tenon
dado joint
dovetail joint
Mortise & tenon
Sanding, painting & finishing
Sanding—is the process of smoothing or
removing some irregularities on the surface
of the wood.
---it is usually done along the grain.
Painting—is the process of Appling paint on
the wood.
---are decorative & protective coating
for the less expensive wood.
• Finishing— is the application of various
materials such as stain, varnish, fillers and
the like.
- the purpose of finishing is in order to:
1.enhance it’s natural beauty
