Parts of a tree - VOT

 Task 1 - leaves - the  leaves are apart of a tree it is connected to the branch 

                       Branch - it is a part of the tree that grows from the trunk

                        Crown - refers to the total of an individual plant's aboveground parts

                        Twig  - are the smallest branches

                        Trunk - is the stem and is the main part of the tree

                        Roots - the part of the tree that is attached to the ground to help support the tree  

Task 2 -

Task 3 -Describe how trees become timber? The trees are cut down into the right lengths and then get transported to the timber mill where it is turned into the timber.

Task 4 - Describe and explain the different types of cuts?

              Quartersawn - The log is being cut in a radial angle into four quarters.

           plain sawn - is the most common type of cut. the annular rings are 30 degrees or less to                                                 the face of the board

            Rift sawn - is the most elite cuts the log is milled perpendicular to the growth rings which are 30-60 degrees to the face of the board

Task 5 - Give an example of timbers used in NZ?  KAURI, MATAI, BLACK PINE and RIMU

Task 6 - Give an example of defects in timber? Water stains, knots, Rind gals, shakes, and upsets

                

Basic Woodworking tools

 Different types of hand tools in a tech workshop.

Engineering set squares - is used as a marking and checking tool used to assess and mark straight lines. Made up of two straight pieces (stock & blade) that work together to create a right angle at exactly 90°.

Carpenters pencil: the reason why the shape is like this is that to stop it from rolling away. You can sharpen a carpenter's pencil by using a craft knife. 

Marking gauge - A marking gauge is used in woodworking to mark out lines for cutting or other purposes. The main purpose is to scribe a line parallel to a reference edge. 

Combination square - A combination square is a multi-use measuring instrument that is primarily used for ensuring the integrity of a 90° angle, measuring a 45° angle, measuring the center of a circular object, find depth, and simple distance measurements. It can also be used to determine level and plumb using its spirit level vial.

Sliding bevel - A sliding T bevel, also known as a bevel gauge or false square is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. Different from the square, which is fixed and can only set a 90° angle, the sliding T bevel can set any angle and transfer it to another piece.

How to convert millimeters to meters?

In maths today we learned how to convert mm to m you need to move your decimal point 3 places to the left to covert mm to m. I will be showing you how to convert mm to m.

For example :

4700mm  = 4.7m

8700mm = 8.7m

7262mm = 7.262

12000mm =  12m
