  1. Chapter 3 Hand Tools

  2. Objectives • Correctly identify the hand tools used in woodworking • Explain the uses of each tool • Understand how to use hand tools safely • Know how to select and properly care for hand tools

  3. Introduction • Hand tools: tools powered only by the operator • Five general categories • Measuring, layout, and marking tools • Saws • Chisels and planes • Drilling tools • Shaping, smoothing, and scraping tools

  4. Measuring, Layout, and Marking Tools • Measuring tools • Steel tapes and wooden rules: woodworker’s primary measuring tools • Used for measuring widths, lengths, thickness, and for layout in conjunction with other layout and marking tools • Layout tools • A key layout tool is a true square • T-shaped or L-shaped tool used for drawing and testing right angles

  5. Figure 3-1 Tapes and rules.

  6. Measuring, Layout, and Marking Tools (continued) • Layout tools (continued) • Combination square • Try square • Speed square • Bevel square • Compass • Divider • Trammel point

  7. FRAMING SQUARE SPEED SQUARE TRY SQUARES DOUBLE SQUARE COMBINATION SQUARE Figure 3-2 Framing square, try squares, double square, combination square, Speed Square.

  8. Measuring, Layout, and Marking Tools (continued) • Marking tools • Anything used to inscribe layout or cut lines • Marking knife • Marking gauge • Mortise gauge • Saws • Used for cutting material to a specific size and shape • Rip saw • Crosscut saw • Combination saw

  9. Measuring, Layout, and Marking Tools (continued) • Saws (continued) • Backsaw family: miter saw, tenon saw, dovetail saw, gent’s saw, and dozuki saw • Flush cut saw • Coping saw • Chisels and planes • Chisel: metal tool with a sharp beveled edge that is used to cut and shape wood • Forced into wood to cut

  10. Measuring, Layout, and Marking Tools (continued) • Chisels and planes (continued) • Plane: used to flatten, smooth, and reduce the thickness of wood • Cut is much more controlled, because cutter is held securely in the plane • Bench plane • Block plane

  11. Figure 3-18 Diagram of a bench plane.

  12. Measuring, Layout, and Marking Tools (continued) • Drilling tools • Several hand tools are designed for drilling, boring, and countersinking operations • Brace • Hand drill • Yankee push drill

  13. Measuring, Layout, and Marking Tools (continued) • Shaping, smoothing, and scraping tools • Rasp • File • Riffler • Spokeshave • Drawknife • Card scraper • Cabinet scraper

  14. Measuring, Layout, and Marking Tools (continued) • Striking and fastening tools • Hammer • Nail set • Mallet • Screwdriver

  15. Figure 3-38 The screwdriver tip should fit the slot snugly.

  16. Hand Tool Safety • Keep your tools sharp • Never work a tool toward your body • Secure your work in a vise or with a clamp • Use common sense; your best guard against injury is your brain

  17. Figure 3-39 The material being planed is held securely in the bench vise.

  18. Hand Tool Safety (continued) • Selecting and caring for hand tools • Good quality, well-cared-for hand tools are precision instruments that will last a lifetime • Buy the best hand tools you can afford • Should be stored in locations that will protect them • Tips of chisels should be protected

  19. Hand Tool Safety (continued) • Selecting and caring for hand tools (continued) • Avoid rusting by wiping on a coat of light oil periodically • Surface rust can be removed with abrasives • Periodically wax soles of your planes

  20. Summary • Few of today’s woodworkers use hand tools exclusively, nor would most choose to do so • Developing skill with hand tools will give you a tremendous edge • Since processing is slower with hand tools, you have a chance to make corrections as you go • Keep hand tools sharp and safe from damage
