 What is it

1.1 Describe carpentry materials and tools

Carpentry Tools and Construction Materials

1. Rule.
Rules are either made of metal or
wood. The metal rule is made of
hardened and spring-tempered high
carbon steel. It is marked off in inches
and fractions of an inch.

1.1. Metal rule has two straight edges.

Either side can be used to test if
wood is straight and flat.

1.2. Zigzag rule. Wooden rules are

two to three feet long and have
joints so they can be folded up to
fit in the pocket. Rules are used
for measuring distances, testing
flat surfaces, and checking
straight.

1.2. Push-pull rule or steel tape is

used to measure longer distances
available from 3 meters to 7.5
meters long.

10
2. Try Square. This tool is used for
testing if surface squares with another
form a square corner. It is also used
for marking out lines which must
square with the edge of wood.

3. Marking Knife. This knife has a steel

blade sharpened to a cutting edge
held firmly in place by a wooden
handle. It is used for marking off lines
usually across the grain of wood to be
cut.

4. Marking Gauge. This tool is used to

mark lines along the grain of wood or
to indicate the desired width and
thickness of wood. The wood is held at
an angle while the gauge stock is
pressed and tilted to let the spur trail.
The gauge is then moved along the
length of the wood so the spur joint will
cut a line as it goes along.

11
5. Divider. While the marking knife is
used for straight lines, dividers are
used for marking out curved lines such
as circles and parts of a circle joint. It
is also used for marking equal
distances along a line. The two legs
are set to size from a rule. One point is
placed on the center mark, and the
divider swung around so that the other
point cuts a curve in the wood.

6. Sliding T-bevel. This tool, like the try

square, can be set at any angle. Its
blade is slotted and held in the sack by
a screw. If loosened, the blade can be
moved about. After it has been set to
the required angle, the screw is
tightened. The bevel is used for testing
slopes of a beveled edge and for
making straight lines that are not at
right angles with the edge of the wood.

7. Claw hammer is the heavier type of

hammer with a claw used for driving
and pulling out nails.

8. Mallet. This tool is similar to a

hammer but its head and handle are
made of hardwood. It is used when
hitting wooden-handled tools such as
chisel. It is also used when
assembling wood work.

12
9. Wooden smooth plane. This tool is
used for planing a piece of timber
almost to size. It is also used for
removing the bulk of waste from a
piece of sawn timber.

10. Iron smooth plane. This tool is

used for smoothing wood after the jack
or trying plane has been used. It is
smaller than the jack plane but its
cutting edge is ground and sharpened
straight like the try plane. The
smoothing plane should never be used
for general planing because its finely
set blade is intended only for
smoothening work.

11. Tang firmer chisel. This is used

for cutting and shaping woods. It has a
blade of hardened steel set on a steel
shoulder that has a steel tang and is
held by a wooden or plastic handle.
The handle is fitted with a metal ring
called a ferrule.

12. Socket firm chisel. This tool

functions similarly as a tang firmer
chisel. The upper part of the socket
chisel blade is shaped like a hollow
cone in which the handle is set.

13
13. Gouges. These are used for
hollowing woods and cutting curved
shapes. They are like chisels but
have a curved blade. Their curves
vary in shape from almost straight to
very rounded. A mallet is used for
greater control when gouging.

14. Spokeshaves. These are used for

planing curved edges. Grip the tool in
both hands, work it away from you
along the edge of the wood following
the grain.

15. Saws. There are two kinds of saws:

power saws (those run by electricity
and handsaws (those that are
manually operated). Handsaws are
of various types.

15.1. Crosscut saw is used for

cutting across the grain of the wood.
The teeth of this type are set
alternatively to the right and left so
that the cut is wider than the
thickness of the saw blade. It cuts
both as a knife and a chisel.

15.2 Ripsaw is used for cutting

wood along the grain. Its teeth are
sharpened at an angle to form points
with sharp cutting edges like a
chisel.

14
 15.3. Backsaw is a fine-toothed
cross-cut saw with a heavy metal
band across the back to hold the thin
blade firmly in place.

15.4. Coping saw is used for sawing

curves out of thin wood. The narrow
blades are so designed to cut curved
shapes.

16. Rasp. The teeth of rasp is cut on

the principle of cutting wedges. The
rasp is used for roughing off
surfaces. They are described by
length, shape, and cut, which refers
to the coarseness and shape of the
teeth.

17. Brace. This is used for holding bits

when boring and counterstriking in
wood. Holes are made in wood with a
brace bit.

18. Hand drill. This is used for drilling

holes up to ¼ of an inch deep. The drill
bits come in different sizes and are
used with boring holes in wood.

15
19. Screwdriver. The blade end of the
screwdriver should fit smugly into the
slot of the screw, otherwise, it may slip
and damage the screw head as well as
the surrounding wood.

19.1 Flat screw driver is used in

driving flathead screws.

19.2 Philip screw driver is used in

driving Philip head screws.
20. Bench. A bench is a working table
with bench vise and bench hook
installed on it. It is used in cutting and
planing lumbers.

21. Bench vise. The woodworker’s

bench vise holds lumber for easy
working. The vise is attached to the
bench so that its two top edges are
flushed with the top of the bench. The
movable jaws may be fully adjusted by
turning the handle.

22. Bench hook. This is used to hold

small pieces of wood while sawing or
chiseling. It is made of a piece of wood
usually eight inches wide and nine
inches long. It has two square stoppers
screwed on opposite ends.

16
Carpentry Materials

Carpentry is an area of industrial arts which makes use of a variety of

materials. These materials include lumber, plywood, nails, screws, other type of
fasteners and other kinds of hardware and accessories frequently used in making
projects out of wood.

1. Lumber is a kind of wood that is sawn for commercial purposes. It is

commonly used for structural and furniture purposes.

Classification of lumber

1. 1 Rough lumber – refers to undressed

lumbers. It is commonly used in
various framing and scaffolding
works.

1.2. S4S - refers to lumbers that are

dressed in four sides.

2. Siding Wood Board is a type of material installed on the exterior part of a

building to protect the building from bad weather.

2.1. V-cut refers to the shape of the

recesses visible on the face of a
panel. This cut is the result of an
angular beveled edge which creates
a visible and distinct
V- shaped recession in the face of
the panel.

17
 3. Molding is an embellishment in strip form, made of wood or other structural
material used to decorate or finish a surface such as the wall of a room or
building or the surface of a door or piece of furniture.

Kinds of moldings

3.1. Baseboard molding is a wooden

board covering the lowest part of an
interior wall. Its purpose is to cover
the joint between the wall surface
and the floor.

3.2. Corner molding is a wooden board

used to protect the edge of the wall
at an outside corner, or to cover a
joint on an inside corner.

3.1. Hand rail is a wooden rail designed

to be grasped by the hand so as to
provide stability or support.
Handrails are commonly used while
ascending or descending stairways
and escalators in order to prevent
injurious falls. Handrails are
typically supported by posts or
mounted directly to walls.
3.1. Dentil molding is a type of wooden
trim that has blocks shaped like teeth.
It is composed of tooth-shaped

planks in which adjacent boards are
joined by means of interlocking
ridges and grooves down their
sides. They are commonly used for
flooring.
4.2. Wood tiles are any products
manufactured from timber that are
designed for flooring, either
structural or aesthetic. Wood is a
common choice as a flooring
material and can come in various
styles, colors, cuts, and

5. Veneer products refer to thin slices of wood and sometimes bark, usually
thinner than 3 mm (1/8 inch), glued onto core panels such as plywood,
particle board or plyboard to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and
panels for cabinets, parquet floors, ceiling and partition wall.

5.1. Plywood is a type of strong thin

wooden board consisting of two or
more layers glued and pressed
together with the direction of the
grain alternating and usually sold in
sheets of four by eight feet.

19
 5.2. Ply board is a laminate made of
thin layers of wood.

6. Hardware and Accessories

1. Nails. The easiest way to join two pieces of wood is by fastening them with
nails. Nails are commonly made of steel and have large flat heads and
pointed ends. They come in different sizes and shapes. They are used for
rough carpentry and packing-case work.

Kinds of Nails

1.1. Common wire nail has a much

larger head and diameter than
other nails. It is mostly used in
carpentry works.

purlins.

1.5. Flat head nails have flat, wide and

round heads. They're used to fix
sheet materials such as G. I. plain
sheet or plywood where the greater
surface area of the head holds the
sheet.

1.6. Brad nails are shorter than one inch

of common wire nails. They are thin
nails of the same thickness
throughout but tapering in width and
having a slight projection at the top
of one side instead of a head.

2. Spikes are nails measuring

more than six inches.

3. Screws are short, slender, sharp-pointed metal pins with a raised helical
thread running around and a slotted head, used to join things together by
being rotated so that they pierce on wood or other material and are held
tightly in place.

21
 Kinds of Screws

3.1. Wood screw is a metal screw with a

pieces of wood together. Wood
screws are commonly available with
flat or Philip head. A wood screw
generally has a partially unthreaded
shank below the head.

3.2. Metal screw is a kind of hardware

supply, which is used for tightening
metal objects. This kind of fastener
features a threaded shank along-with
a flat/rounded head.

3.3. Tekscrews are also called self-

tapping fasteners or self-drilling
screws — are screws that have a
very small carving at the end of their
tip, called a drill bit. The drill bit tip
creates a small hole by tapping
before driving it in.

3.4. Lag screw has a hexagonal head

and requires a wrench rather than a
screw driver to drive it in or unscrew
it.

3.5. Cup screw features a hex drive at

one end and a cup-shaped
indentation at the other. It is
commonly used set screw head style.
The thin edge of the cup end digs into
the contact surface for high holding

22
 power.

4. Screw hook is a small hook with a

threaded shank for screwing into
woodwork or paneling.

5. Bolt is a long metal object that screws into a nut and is used to fasten things.

Kinds of bolts

5.1. Machine bolt is a threaded fastener

used with a nut for connecting metal
parts having a thread diameter of
about 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) or more and
a square or hexagonal head for
tightening by a wrench.

5.2 Expansion bolt is a bolt that expands

when tightened and requires no
thread when inserted in the hole.

5.3 Stud bolt is a bolt with threads on

both ends designed to be screwed
permanently into a fixed part at one
end and to receive a nut on the other.

5.4 Carriage bolt is a large bolt with a

round head used chiefly for fixing
wooden panels to masonry or to one
another.

23
 6. Accessories

6.1. Hinge is used to fasten two pieces

of wood that are movable like
window panels, doors, cabinets,
trunks, chest and boxes.

6.2. Door knob is a mechanism used to

open or close a door. It has a bolt or
spindle running through it that sits
just above a cylinder to which a
spindle is connected. Turning the
knob pulls the cylinder into the
direction of the turn.

6.3. Barrel bolt is a rod-shaped bolt used

for fastening a door or the like. It is
attached to one side of the door at
the edge and sliding into a socket on
the frame of the opening.

6.4. Hasp is a slotted hinged metal plate

that forms part of a fastening for a
door or lid and is fitted over a metal
loop and secured by a pin or
padlock.

6.5. Cabinet handles are may be made

of metal, glass or wood. They are
fastened to doors and drawers of
tables.

24
6.6. Drawer slide is a kind of
accessories that is fixed to the side of
