Using Marking Tools
|
|
|
GOAL: To identify marking tools for joinery and understand how to use them correctly.
Broadly speaking, solid wood joints come in three types: butt joints, mortise and tenon joints and dovetail joints. It is commonly believed that they are difficult to lay out, but there's actually an underlying simplicity to it. Furthermore, you need only five marking tools and they, too, are relatively simple: a pencil, a marking knife and three gauges - marking, cutting and mortise. You also need two measuring tools - try square and sliding bevel - to guide your pencil and marking knife. In this lesson, I'll introduce these tools and explain how to use them. Then I'll show you how to use them on the job, marking out the typical parts of a mortise and tenon joint and a through dovetail joint. |
