This document discusses carpentry tools, equipment, and materials. It is divided into sections on measuring tools, lining tools, testing tools, and edge-cutting tools. The measuring tools section describes common tools like bench rules, folding rules, zigzag rules, tape measures, and caliper rules. The lining tools section lists pencils, scratch awls, marking gauges, chalk lines, and scribers. The testing tools section names try squares, steel squares, T-bevel squares, plumb bobs, and spirit levels. Finally, the edge-cutting tools section explains planes like jackplanes, smooth planes, block planes, and jointer planes, as well as spokeshaves, chisels, and different

2. CARPENTRY TOOLS,
EQUIPMENT, AND MATERIALS
Carpentry is the skill of creating furniture or other objects from
wood.

3. COMMON CARPENTRY
TOOLS
Tools are defined as implements
used to modify raw materials for human use.
Tools can be considered as extension of the
hand thereby increasing its speed, power,
and accuracy. From the early age up to the
present generation, tools can be considered
as man's partner in his struggle for survival.
Knowing the different tools and
equipment and their uses, facilitate work
activities and project making and it helps
every student to save time and effort in
performing different tasks in woodworking.
Tools are classified according to their uses.

4. MEASURING TOOLS These are the tools used for laying out measurements.
The following tools are included in this group.

5. MEASURING
TOOLS
1. Bench rule
This is a one-piece
rule made of one or two-
foot length. It is commonly
used for general
measurement in school
shop.

6. MEASURING
TOOLS
2. Two-foot four folding rule
This is generally used
in measuring short distances.
It is also used as at protractor
with the aid of a table. It is
made of four folds connected
by three hinges that are 6
inches apart.

7. MEASURING
TOOLS
3. Zigzag rule
This is used for rough
layout. It is also used to
measure distances greater
than two feet.

8. MEASURING
TOOLS
4. Push-pull tape
This is used to
measure longer distances.
It is available from
one meter to 50 meters
long tape.

9. MEASURING
TOOLS
5. Slide caliper rule
This is a special tool
used to measure the
outside diameter of
cylindrical objects.

11. LINING TOOLS
1. Pencil with round head
This is used in
marking rough work.

12. LINING TOOLS
2. Scratch awl
This is used in
drawing lines and
marking of points in
measuring.

14. LINING TOOLS
3. Marking gauge
This is a tool
most appropriate in
marking lines
parallel with the
edges of the wood.

16. LINING TOOLS
4. Chalk line and
reel
These are
used in marking
very rough work.

17. LINING TOOLS
5. Scriber
This is used in
marking fine work.
It is made of
hardened steel with
a sharp point
designed to mark
fine lines.

This is used
for squaring and
testing smaller
work.

3. Sliding T-bevel
square
This is a
special square used
to lay out angles of
different degrees
and to test miter
joints.

4. Plumb bob
This is a tool
used to check the
straightness of
posts, studs, and
the like.

the like.

28. TESTING
TOOLS
5. Spirit level
This is used for
both guiding and
testing the work to a
vertical or horizontal
position.

position.

30. EDGE-
CUTTING
TOOLS
These are the tools having
thin, sharp edges and are
used for cutting lumber.

31. 1. Planes
These are tools for
shaping wood. They are used to
flatten, reduce the thickness of,
and impart a smooth surface to a
rough piece of lumber or timber.

32. a) Jackplane
This is the most
useful plane because of its
convenient size and is
used for planing pieces of
wood that need to have
straight edges and
surfaces.

34. b) Smooth
plane
This is used for
smoothening a lumber
surface flat and cleaning
up flush-framed work,
chamfers, and rounding
edges.

36. c) Block plane
This is a plane
having a single-iron plane
blade that is placed with
the beveled side up.
It is used for
planing end grain.

38. d) Jointer plane
This is used for straightening
long and uneven surface of
wood.

40. e) Fore plane
This is used for planing
large surfaces

42. 2. Spokeshave
This is used for curved
surfaces that cannot be done with a
circular plane.

45. 3. Chisels
These are
indispensable tools used
in carpentry. They are one
of the most abused tools.
They are constantly used
for prying, opening cases,
as screwdriver, or an
opener.

46. a) Paring
chisel
This is a
light duty tool
used to plane
long parallel
with the grain
of wood.

47. b) Firming chisel
This is a heavy tool adapted to
withstand severe strain, as in
framing work and where deep
cuts are necessary.

48. c) Framing chisel
This has a very heavy and
strong blade used in rough
carpentry work like shipbuilding.
