Objective:
To sharpen student's critical eye and interest
in detail.
Materials/Requirements:
Old issues of carpentry, craft
and woodworking magazines.
What To Do:
Have your students read the Safety Is Specific
entry on Jointers, Planers and Shapers. Next, instruct them to
clip from old magazines you've collected all photos and
illustrations of these or other power tools in use. Your students
should also clip all references to use and care of the tools.
Do
they see or read anything that differs from what they
learned in class and read in their class booklets? Can they find
any errors or unsafe practices?

Operators must be fully alert at all times when using these tools. Careful preparation must begin even before a power tool appears on the scene. Stock is a critical concern with this equipment; choose it carefully. Chipboard, panel board, or stock containing nails, paint or varnish can create a hazard. Knots in wood can be a threat, too. It's also essential to learn to use pushblocks and featherboards with these tools. |
