Wood Working Marking

Remember you may need pencils for slight marks (which are commonly worn over the right ear of the carpenter), but also measuring compasses which may not be enough if you use your child’s. For longer distances you may need to mark the center with a nail and tie a rope for reaching the desired points.

 

Square

Its main use, as you might have guessed by now, is to allow a 90 degrees angle between the boardings. Although there are also scholar rules for measure, it is not necessary to use them. You can rely on any object which you recognise the craft as industrial work, or small pieces of wood sheets, in case you are hurried and you do not have a square: anything that can be adapted to the area you are working on. One more tip: the wood allows you to mark the square and helps you to figure out how the final work will look like.

Generally the metal part is at right angles, or moving parts that can change the angle, by type. Tool used for drawing angles and check edges

There are different types of squares:

UNIVERSAL: Charting anguls 90 º and 45 º.

Bevel It permits the delineation of different angles and transporting them.

 

Carpenter’s gauge

This tool is also used for marking. It consists of a removable piece with a screw over a rule that can be fixed wherever you need. This is very useful in case you need to use the measure over different boardings.

Carpenter-s compas

This metal tool with two movable arms with pointed toes connected by one end. The gauge can measure and make circles of different sizes.
