RESOURCE 15 BASIC WOODWORKING HAND TOOLS JUNIOR CYCLE

RESOURCE 15: BASIC WOODWORKING HAND TOOLS JUNIOR CYCLE WOOD TECHNOLOGY STRAND: Principles & Practices 2. 6 million years ago early humans developed the oldest known tools, which were made from a combination of wood and stone. The evolution of humans and technology, including tools, has lead to the development of highly skilled crafts people in a broad HISTORY range of disciplines. In Woodwork, there are fundamental hand tools for marking out and LINK processing material. Each require many hours of practice before mastery is achieved. Planning & Management and ELEMENT: Communicating LEARNING OUTCOMES: 1. 1, 1. 2, 1. 3, 1. 4, 1. 5, 1. 6 & 1. 7 NOTES Being able to identify basic woodworking hand tools is essential for any woodwork student. Identifying what tool is necessary to execute a particular process promotes practical confidence and practical competency. Marking Out tools are very important in terms of the accuracy of all cutting processes. Being able to competently use cutting tools ensures that accurate, precise and neat work can be produce in an efficient and safe manner. All woodworking hand tools are hazardous and it is of the utmost importance that tools are respected. Mistakes regarding the use of hand tools will occur during practice as you progress toward mastery. However, it is important that such mistakes are made within the domain of safe practice and thus reducing the risk of any potential injury. Don’t be a fool, know your tools!

There are variations of the above, as you will learn. JUNIOR CYCLE WO O D T E C H N O L O G Y SCOILNET PDST JOE LYSTER 2019/20 RESOURCES
