Lesson 03:

Woodworking Machines & General Safety

1. Woodworking Machines Safety: ● Always wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield (including safety glasses or goggles). ● Wear dust masks when required. ● Wear protective footwear when required. ● Make sure the equipment is properly grounded before use. ● Electric power cords should be above head level or in the floor in such a way that they are not tripping hazards. ● Keep work area free of clutter, clean, well swept, and well lit. Spills should be cleaned up immediately. Floor areas should be level and non-slip. Good housekeeping practices and workplace design will reduce the number of injuries and accidents from slips, trips, and falls. ● Use gloves to protect hands from splinters when handling wood but do not wear them near rotating blades and other machinery parts where the gloves can catch. ● Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning on the power. ● Keep the area free from water and moisture. Do not use electrical equipment outdoors in the rain. ● Always keep your attention on the work. For example, if you must talk to another person, turn off the equipment first. 2. Wearing the Right Clothing 3. Using a Single Extension Cord. 4. Avoiding Distractions. 5. Continual Learning. 6. Maintaining a Clean and Tidy Workshop. 7. Keeping Your Blades and Bits Sharp. 8.

Jointer Safety Tips: ● As with all woodworking machines, wear eye and ear protection at all times. ● Make sure wood passing over the blades is snug between the fence and guard so no part of the cutterhead is exposed. ● Keep hands well away from the cutterhead at all times. ● Do not joint wood thinner than about 3⁄8 in. or shorter than 12 in., and avoid stock with loose knots. ● Use a push stick whenever possible (not your fingers) to move the board across the blades. ● Always turn off and unplug the machine before reaching up into the dust chute to clear out clogged chips.

Lesson 05:

Wooden Defects Marking, Fixing, Laying Out

Wood Defects: ● Bow: A board that rocks from end to end when laid on one face. ● Crook: A board that rocks from end to end when laid on one edge. ● Cup: A board that rocks from edge to edge when laid on one face. ● Twist: A board that rests on opposite diagonal corners when laid on one face. ● Checks and shakes: Checks are cracks across the growth rings. Shakes are cracks between the rings. ● Knots: These are remnants of branches. Natural Wood Defects: ● Bark pockets ● Bird pecks ● Burls ● Coarse grain ● Fungal damage: The more common effects of fungal damage include: ■ Blue stain ■ Brown rot ■ Dry rot ■ Heart rot ■ Wet rot ■ White rot ● Insect defects: Some of the more common insects include: ■ Wood boring beetles ■ Pin-hole borers ■ Termites ● Knots ■ Sound (or tight knots) ■ Unsound knots (or loose knots) ■ Encased knots ■ Knothole ■ Spike knots ● Raised grain ● Shake: There are two types of shakes: ■ Star Shake ■ Ring Shake ● Split ● Stains ● Spalting ● Twisted fibers. Wood Defects Due to Conversion: ● Chip mark ● Diagonal grain ● Torn grain ● Wane ● Machine burn ● Machine gouge.
