Study Notes

Identifying Carpentry Tools & Materials

Rule: Metal plate for testing surface straightness; zigzag rule for measuring distances; Puta-Pusta rule/steel tape available in 3m for distance testing.
Try Square: Essential for forming precise squares.
Marking Knife: Used to mark the grain direction on wood.
Marking Gauge: Indicates wood grain as well as desired width and thickness.
Divider: Useful for marking curved lines, such as circle joints.
Sliding T-Bevel: Tests wood edges and allows for straight lines at non-right angles.
Claw Hammer: Versatile tool for driving and removing nails.
Mallet: Ideal for striking wooden-handled tools like chisels.
Saws: Different types for cutting wood, including rip and back saws; coping saw for curves.

Types and Uses of Construction Materials

Lumber: Commonly used for siding, flooring, paneling, and built-in trusses.
Nails: Fasteners for various materials including plastic and concrete.
Screws: Essential for holding objects together securely.
G.I Wire-Tie: For reinforcing bars and securing objects.
Cement: Binds materials by hardening and adhering to surfaces.
Sand: Provides strength and stability in concrete, asphalt, and mortar.
Gravel: Similar to sand, used for structural stability.
Steel Reinforcement: Counteracts compressive and tensile stresses in concrete to prevent cracking.
G.I Sheet: Utilized for walls, panels, covers, and partitions.

Parts of Requisition Form

Requisition Form: Lists project needs with descriptions, sizes, and prices, including quantity, unit, description, unit cost, and total amount for materials.

Name of Project

Study Table: Purpose for studying, writing, and reading.

Measurements and Definitions

Key measurements include millimeters, liters, inches, and feet.
Definitions clarify terms like "standard," "volume," "graduation," "calculation," "mensuration," "perimeter," "substate," and "dimension."

System of Measurement

English System: Originated in England; uses yard, inch, and foot.
Metric System: French origin; includes meters, kilometers, and centimeters.

Tools of Measurement

Tools such as dividers, pull-push rules, rulers, try squares, meter sticks, compasses, protractors, and calipers for accurate measurement.

Unit Conversion

Metric to Metric: 1 meter = 100 cm; 1 cm = 10 mm; 1 dm = 0.1 m.
Metric to English: 1 meter = 3.28 feet; 1 kilometer = 1093.61 yards.
Board Foot Formula: Board foot (Bd.ff.) = T x W x L / 12 (T = thickness, W = width, L = length).

Reading a Ruler (Metric System)

Halves: Identified as 1/2.
Quarters: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4.
Eighths: 1/8 through 8/8.
Sixteenths: 1/16 through 16/16.

These notes capture the essentials of carpentry tools, materials, methods of measurement, and conversion processes for effective study and practical application in carpentry and construction projects.
