WOOD WORKING
INTRODUCTI
O
Wood work or carpentry deals with making joints for a variety of applications like door
frames, cabinet making furniture, packing etc.,
Timber:
Timber is a name obtained from well grown plants or trees. The timber must cut in such a
way that the grains run parallel to the length. The common defects in timber are knots,
wet rot, dry rotetc.,
Market sizes of timber:
-
Timber is sold in market in various standard shapes and sizes.They are:-
Log:-
The trunk of a tree, which is free from
branches.
Balk:-
The log sawn to have roughly square crosssection.
Post:-
A timber piece, round or square in cross section with more than 275 mm in width,50 to
150 mm in thickness and 2.5 to 6.5 mts
length.
Board:-
A sawn timber piece, below 175 mm in width and 30 mm to 50 mm inthickness.
Reapers:-
Sawn timber pieces of assorted and nonstandard sizes, which don’t conform tothe above
shapes.
WORK HOLDING TOOLS:

Carpentry vice:-
It is a work holding device. When handle vice is turned in a clockwise direction,the
sliding jar forces the work against the fixed sawn. The greater the force appliedto the
handle, the tighter to the work held.
Bar clamp:-
It is a rectangular (or) square block with V-groove on one or both sides oppositeto each
other. It holds cylindrical work pieces.
C-Clamp:-
This is used to hold work against an angle plate or V-block.
VEMU Page 6
MARKING AND MEASURING TOOLS:

Try square:-
It is used for marking and testing the squareness of planed surfaces. It consists of a steel
blade, fitted in a cast iron stock. It is also used for flatness. The size of a try square used
for varies from 150 mm to 300 mm, according to the length of the blade. It is less accurate
when compared to the try square used in fitting shop.
Marking gauge:-
It is a tool used to mark lines parallel to the edges of wooden pieces. It consists of a
square wooden stem with a riding wooden stock on it. A marking pin, made of steel is
fitted on the stem. A mortise gauge consists of two pins. In these it is possible to adjust the
distance between the pins, to draw two parallel lines on thestock.

VEMU Page 8
Compass and dividers:

This is used for marking circles, arcs, laying out perpendicular lines on the planedsurface of the
wood.
CUTTING TOOLS:
Hack saw:-
It is used to cross cut the grains of the stock. The teeth are so set that the sawkerfs will be
wider than the blade thickness. Hard blades are used to cut hard metals. Flexibleblades
are having the teeth of hardened and rest of the blade is soft and flexible. Chisels:-
These are used for removing surplus wood. Chisels are annealed, hardened andtempered to
produce a tough shank and a hard cutting edge.
Rip saw:-
It is used for cutting the stock along the grains. The cutting edge of this saw makesa sleeper
angle about 60o whereas that saw makes an angle of 45o with the surface ofthe stock.
Tenon saw:
It is used for cutting tenons and in fine cabinet works. The blade of this saw is very thin
and so it is used stiffed with back strip. Hence, this is sometimes calledback saw. The
teeth shapes similar to cross cutsaw.
DRILLING AND BORING TOOLS:
Auger bit:-
It is the most common tool used for boring holes with hardpressure.
Gimlet:-
This is a hand tool used for boring holes with handpressure.
Hand drill:-
Carpenters brace is used to make relatively large size holes, whereas hand drill is used for
drilling small holes. A straight shank drill is used with these tools. It is small light in
weight and may be conveniently used than the brace. The drill is clamped in the chuck.
MISCELLANEOUS TOOLS:
Ball peen hammer:-
It has a flat face, which is used for general work and a ball end is used for riveting.Mallet:-
It is used to drive the chisel, when considerable force is to be applied, steel hammer should
not be used for these purpose, as it may damage the chisel handle. Further, for better to apply
a series of light taps with the mallet rather than a heavy single blow.
Claw hammer:-
It is a striking flat at one end and the claw at the others. The face issued to drive nails into
wood and for other striking purpose and the claw for extracting nails out of wood.
Pinches:-
It is made of steel with a hinged and is used for pulling out small nails from wood.

SHEET METAL WORKING

INTRODUCTION:
Many engineering and house hold articles such as boxes, cans, funnels, ductsetc., are
made from a flat sheet of metals. These process being known as tin smithy. For this,
the development of the article is first drawn on the sheet metal then cut and folded to
form the required shape of the article. The edge of the articles are then secured
through welding, brazing, soldering, rivetingetc.
Sheet metal materials:
A variety of metals used in a sheet metal shop such as black iron, aluminum and stainless
steel. A sheet of soft steel which is coated with molten zinc is known as galvanized iron.
The zinc coat forms a coating that resists rust, improves the appearance of the metal and
permits it to be solderised with greater care.
Hand tools:
The common hand tools used in sheet metals work are steel rule, usually of 60 cm length,
Vise gauge, dot punch, scriber, trammels, ball peen hammer, and straight peen hammer,
cross peen hammer, mallets, snips and soldering iron.
Trammels:-
Sheet metals layouts require marking of arcs and circles. This may be done by usingthe
trammels. The length of the beam decides the maximum size of the arc that canbe scribed.
Wire gauge:-
The thickness of the sheet metal is referred in numbers known as standard wiregauge
(SWG). The gaps in the circumstance of the gauge are used to check the gaugenumber.
Bench shears:
Sheet metal may be cut by shearing action. In this the force is applied through a
compound lever, making it possible to cut sheet metal up to 4mm thick. The chopping hole
can shear a mild steel rod up to 10mm diameter.
Snips:-
Snips are hand shears, varying in length from 200mm to 600mm. 200mm to 250mm
being the commonly used. The straight lines are curved snips or bent snips arefor
trimming along inside curves.
VEMU Page 20
Hammers:-
Ball peen hammer has a cylindrical slightly curved face and a ball head straight peen and
similar to the cross peen, but it is positioned paralleled to the handle which can be used
conveniently for certain operations of folding.
Stakes:
-
Stakes are nothing but anvils, which are used as supporting tools and to form seam, bend,
rivet sheet metal objects.

Stakes:
-
Stakes are nothing but anvils, which are used as supporting tools and to form seam, bend,
rivet sheet metal objects.
SHEET METAL JOINTS:
Various types of joints are used in sheet metal work to suit the varying requirement.
These are self-secured joints, formed by joining together two pieces of sheets metal and
using the metal itself to form the joints. These joints are to be used on sheets of less than
1.6 mm thickness.
Riveting:-
Rivets are used to fasten two of more sheets of metal together. It is the commonpractice to
use the rivets of the same material as that of the sheets having fastened.
Sheet metal
screws:-
These are used in sheet metal work to join and install duct work for ventilation air
conditioning etc. These screws are also known as self-tapping screws since theycut their
own threads.
Soldering:-
Soldering is one method of joining two pieces of metal with an alloy that melts at a lower
temperature than the metals to be joined for a good job. The metals to be joined must be
free from dirt, grease and oxide. Solder is made of tin and lead in equal proportions. It
comes either in the form of wire and bar.
Soldering iron:-
Soldering requires a source of heating. A common method of transmitting heat ofthe metal
surfaces is by using a soldering iron.

BRAZING
Brazing: Brazing is defined as the technique of joining two similar or dis-similar materials,
by addition of special filler metal. Brazing is also called as hard soldering and it results in a
stronger joint than soldering. It can withstand temperatures up to 800°C and higher
pressures. The filler metal, i.e. solder used in brazing is known as spelter, a non-ferrous
metal or alloy. The following are the stages involved in brazing:
1) Make a tight fitting joint. Where necessary, file a groove along the joint forthe solder to
run into.
2) Clean the surface of the joint, free from oil, dirt, grease, rust, etc.
3) Apply flux with a brush
4) Preheat the area until the flux dries out. Then, heat the joint until it is brightred.
5) Apply the solder when it begins to melt; move the torch along the joint forthe solder to
flow evenly.
6) Clean, file and smoothen the joint
Advantages:
1. Produce leak-proof joints, which are superior to soldered joints.
2. Produce corrosion resistant joints.
3. Brazing can be performed on similar or dis-similar metals.Disadvantages:
1. Large areas cannot be brazed easily due to the possibility of lack of uniformheating of
internal surfaces.
2. Joints have poor strength compared to welded joints.
3. Require tightly mating parts.
4. Brazing fluxes may produce toxic fumes.
5. It cannot be performed on hardened steel.
Precautions: Avoid the inhalation of fumes produced because of fluorides and fluorine
compounds that are present in brazing fuses, particularly those used withsilver, magnesium and
aluminum silicon brazing filler metals.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
INTRODUCTION:-
Power is supplied to domestic installations through a phase and a neutral, forming a single
phase. A.C 230V, 2- wire system for industrial establishments. Power is supplied through
three phase four wire system to give 440V. Fig. Shows the power tapping for domestic and
industrial purposes. The neutral is earthed atthe distribution sub-station of the supply.
When supplied to domestic utilizes power is fed to a kilowatt meter and then to a
distribution panel. The panel distributes power along several circuits’ breakers. The panel also
serves as a main switch.
Electrical wiring is defined as a system of electrical conductors, components and apparatus for
conveying electrical power from the source to the point of use. The wiring system must be
designed to provide a constant voltage to the load.
ELEMENTS OF HOUSE WIRING:-

Fuses & circuit Breakers:
These are the devices to provide protection to a circuit against excess current.
Open link
fuses are not in safe in operations, even though they are cheaper and reliable. Itconsists of a
thin strip of metal (or) wire.
Electric switch:
This is a device that makes and breaks or changes the course of electric circuit. It consists
of 2 or more contacts mounted on an insulating structure and arranged such that they may
be moved in to and out of contact with each other by a suitable operating mechanism.
Plug:
It is a device carrying 2 or 3 contact, designed for engagement with corresponding plugs
pins and arranged for connection to fixed wiring and arranged for attachment to
appliances such as radio, T.V, table, fan etc.,
Socket outlet:
It is a device carrying 2 or 3 contacts, designed for engagement with corresponding plug
pins and arranged for connection to fixing wiring.

Main switch:-
This is a switch intended to connect or cut-off the supply of electrical to the whole of an
installation. It is generally of metal clad type. The metal clad givesgreater strength and safety.
The main switch contains one or more fuses, single phase, and A.C. circuits.
Incandescent light:-
Incandescent means ‘glowing at white heat’. A lamp actually works like heating elements that
it
gives off light by becoming white hot, the amount of power it consume is stamped on the
bulb. Higher the wattage, brighter the light. The bulbs have filaments made of tungsten.
Interior wiring:-
Wires & wire sizes:- A wire is defined as a bare or insulated conductor consisting of one (or)
several strands. An insulating wire consists of a conductor with insulating material made of
Vulcanized Indian Rubber (VIR) (or) Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC). The wire may consist of 1
or several twisted strands. A multi sore conductor consists of several cores insulated from one
another and enclosed in a common seating. Wire sizes are specified by the diameter of the
wire, using a standard wire gauge (SWG), which also gives an idea of the current carrying
capacity. The specification consists of the both the number of strands and the diameter of the
each wire in it

SOLDERING
Soldering is one method of joining two or more pieces of metals by means of fusible alloy,
called solder, applied in the molten state. The melting temperature ofthe solder should be
lower than that of the base metals being joined.
Method of soldering:
The following are the stages involved in soldering work.
1. Clean the surfaces to be soldered.
2. Keep the surfaces to be joined, close together.
3. Apply a thin layer of flux with a brush.
4. Heat the soldering copper to proper temperature.
5. Tack the seam by applying solder at several points.
6. Begin at one end and move the copper bit slowly, adding solder as needed.
7. Allow the joint to cool.
8. Clean the joint and then test the joint for strength.
Advantages:
1. It is the most economical method of joining.
2. It produces leak-proof joint quickly.
3. The temperature involved is very low, when compared to welding. The costof the
equipment is cheap.
4. Soldering can be performed on similar or dis-similar metals.
