Setting Out Of Rods • Set out rods are basically detail drawings for the purpose of constructing joinery items • These drawings can be on paper and used in the workshop or • Drawn onto a piece of plywood • Sometimes ply is used for stability and paper over laid on top for clarity • Approximate size for a sample window 150mm – 200mm wide
Points To Consider When Setting Out A Rod • Dimensions Accurate – any inaccuracies will carry through to project • Sections should always be drawn with the face of the item facing the person setting out • Sections drawn full size and show clearly actual size of members • The rod should be easy to interpret, remove any set out lines • A cutting list should accompany the rod
Making the Rod • Straighten one edge and secure rod to bench, overlaying 10-15mm on bench • All gauging is done from this straight edge with pencil • Squares or rule and forefinger can be used • Use actual section pieces to help you set out • Gauging and step by step on following slides.
Step By Step Setout Of Rod • Mark off the overall height and gauge a line to represent the interior face of the frame. Use short lengths of the stock material, cut from scrap, as templates to mark in the outline of each section. • After the sill is marked, continue with the head, first positioning the storm moulding and then locating the head relative to it. Using short lengths of sash stock, mark in the sash top and bottom rails, and space the bars in between .
Step By Step Setout Of Rod Continued • Proportion the mortise-and-tenon joints, mark in and cross the mortises. • Follow a similar procedure with the horizontal section, first setting off the width and locating the storm mouldings, followed by the other members. • Finally prepare the cutting list.
Marking Out Stiles • Read in conjunction with handout notes
