HISTORY OF WOODWORKING

W

E KNOW FROM THE DISCOVERIES MADE BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS

before written history, wood was used for shelter, tools, weapons, culinary implements, and even decorative items such as jewellery. Significant advances in craftsmanship and construction complexity would, however, await the availability of iron as a harder-than-wood cutting edge. By Biblical times, we know that tool technology and work methods were considerably advanced, providing a solid foundation for later developments. Mediaeval Woodworking. The Mediaeval Period and the Renaissance. 7

WOODWORKING BLUEPRINT

Woodworking was among the many arts that flourished and achieved a high degree of sophistication during the Renaissance. It was in the early middle ages, in the tenth through the fourteenth centuries, that woodworkers began to specialize, and different branches of the craft developed: sawyers, hewers, joiners, carpenters and woodcarvers. Also, at this time, the various Craft Guilds were formed to promote the training of new workers and to protect their respective disciplines-specific trade procedures often became closely-guarded information. How Tools Were Developed The Role of Tools - As the craft of woodworking advanced, there developed a parallel, supporting technology-that of tool making. Initially woodworking tools were wooden-bodied with metal cutting edges. Even today, some of the most sought-after tools are constructed in this manner. The late middle ages gave-way to the industrial revolution which eventually made it possible to replace the traditional, hand-operations with machines. This change was opposed in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries by a strong Arts-and-Crafts movement in England, the United States, and Russia. The proponents of this movement felt that machine produced woodwork was demeaning to the worker and sought to emphasized the creativity, dignity, and individuality of the craftsperson. Now, in the early part of the twenty-first century, two divergent paths seem to be emerging. Many woodworking professionals are up-grading or replacing their machines with Computer-Numerical-Control (CNC) equipment.

Among many hobbyists, there is renewed interest in traditional work methods: hand-cut joinery, decorative inlay, carved embellishments, and hand-turned lathe work. What Does The Future Hold? The Future. Wood, properly managed, is a renewable resource. Fortunately, in recent years, there has been an enhanced awareness of the need to preserve the world's equatorial rain forests, where many of the finest hardwoods and exotic specialty woods are found. Woodworkers are counted among the most dedicated of these preservationists. A whole subcategory of woodworking - that of utilizing recycled wood gleaned from old homes, barns, and bridge timbers - is thriving. Few materials offer the beauty, durability, and usefulness of wood as a construction medium. As any devout woodworker will proclaim, the pleasure and satisfaction derived from practicing this challenging and rewarding craft are incomparable.

portion from a piece of material like wood or plastic. Some carpenters are expert craftsmen who play important roles in the lives of ordinary folk and society as a whole.

Carpenters contributed their hands-on talents to make furniture, houses, and other woodwork. Thankful as we may be to carpenters, bear in mind that we too can perform basic carpentry skills using hammer, nails, and perhaps a woodworking router in the shed or garage. You can master a few skills in the art of carpentry so you do not have to call someone else each time you need to fix a doorknob or re-attach a broken chair leg. Always remember that working with tools like a router or a nail gun may present some risks. But if you have enough basic know-how, some common sense and safe habits, you can fix things and perhaps come to love a new hobby. A woodworking router is actually a very interesting piece of hardware. Learning to use it may take some time and a considerable amount of effort. When you become proficient with this powerful tool, however, you can do things to materials like wood that you cannot accomplish with other basic tools. It has an automated or a manual hand plane, with a blade attached to its base plate. You can hollow out a part of your item, which is usually wood. This power tool can cut cleanly through wood or hard plastic and help you make a shape with far less effort and in less time. Try doing that manually with another regular tool and see how hard it is, and how much time it would consume. Router bits are sharp metal ends of different shapes and sizes used together with routers.

These add details and finishing to virtually all types of carpentry projects. Your task or intention can dictate the type of bit you will be using. A flush trim bit, for example, creates a flush surface on a piece of wood, while specialised detailing router bits like the dove tail can make more detailed finishing. It is advisable to master the easier bits before you try to move on to more detail oriented bits, so you can learn to handle the router with a steady hand. Remember that power tools like the woodworking router demand skill, so read the manual before using the machine. Ask for some tips from someone who has experience in handling a similar apparatus, preferably a seasoned carpenter. Wear safety gear like clear goggles and heavy duty gloves whenever you use power tools or simple implements like a hammer and nails. Use only recommended bits for your router and do not neglect to perform maintenance checks on it so you can use it for a long time.
