2.2 Lay out form sheathing and

stiffeners with tolerances of
+3 mm for all measurements and
for squareness
 Learning Objectives

At the end of the learning period, you should be

able to:

1. appreciate the importance of accurate

measurement in carpentry,
2. Identify the procedures in lay-outing and
cutting to dimension of form sheathing and
stiffeners, and
3. accomplished the activity sheet after the
lesson.
Guide Questions

1. Marco was assigned in a workplace wherein the average noise level

reaches 90 decibels. What type of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
he must used to prevent hearing impairment?

2. Assuming you are a Chemical Engineer, and your workplace presents the
potential of causing facial injury from physical, chemical, or radiation
agents. What PPE you must wear to prevent such incident?

3. Ronald works as a laborer in a construction site, and

he was asked to gather and arrange all used lumbers

from potential foot injury?
BRIEF HISTORY
https://hausoftools.com/blogs/news/the-history-and-evolution-of-the-hammer
• The first hammer, believed to have originated more than 3 million years ago,
was basically just a heavy, round stone, usually a hard stone like granite, shaped
by water in rivers or the sea.
• The first major innovation to the hammer is believed to have occurred sometime
around 30,000 BC, thousands of years after the earliest cave paintings.
• The major change to the hammer was to use a bone or a stick and some
leather or other stringy substance to secure the hammer
• Metal was introduced some 20,000+ years after the handle was invented. The
hammer, and the bulk of metal things, were made of bronze, thus starting the
Bronze Age.
• Bronze gave way to iron around 2000 to 1800 BC and as this led to steel the
hammer evolved even more.

Definition of
Formwork Sheeting
and Stiffeners

 Stiffeners are secondary plates or sections which are

attached to beam webs or flanges to stiffen them against
out of plane deformations
 WHERE?

Where to use FORMWORK

 WHY?
 The use of formwork in construction
Importance
has brought about many advantages
of
that cannot be substituted with other
FORMWORK
technologies.
 The safety of workers is paramount in
the construction industry and
formwork provides proper access and
working platforms that ensure the
safety of workers during construction.

 The chalk lines are a tool for marking long,

straight lines over distances onto the surface
of an object to provide accurate guides where
using a ruler or straight edge tool would be
impractical.
 CUTTING TOOLS

 A crosscut saw is a general term for any saw

blade for cutting wood perpendicular the wood
grain.

 The Bolo is a tool that is used for cutting

pieces of wood; this tool serves like a long
heavy knife.
  A claw hammer is a tool primarily used for driving
nails into, or pulling nails from, some other object.

 A sledgehammer is a tool with a

large, flat, often metal head, attached
to a long handle.

PROPER TOOL
MAINTENANCE
 Always store tools in its
proper place. That
proper place is where
the tool will be
protected from damage.
  Make sure that the tool
is wiped off and cleaned
if any oil, grease,
chemical gets on the
tool, prior to storing it.
 This will prevent other tools from
getting coated with these substances
rendering them not ready to use.
 Some tools need
additional
maintenance such as
sharpening or
dressing that makes it
safe to use.
 Check tool handles for
defects such as burrs,
splinters, missing/loose
grips
