. 4-H WOODWORKING PROJECT, UNIT I
By J. B. BROOKS and E. R. YOUNG ~
The purpose ol` tl1is project is to encourage club lll(}llll)€l`$ to
have well-equipped [arm shops i11 order that tl1ey may learn tl1e
l`undamentals ol woodworking, tl1e identification of 11ative woods.
tl1e selection, care Zllltl ttse oi tools, tl1e readi11g oi plans, and [ill`
painting or finishing oi woodwork. .\rticles ll2l\'C l)(2(‘ll selected
which lllily bc 111adc witI1 the iitnitcd lllill('l`l2ll>. tools and ctjuip-
. ment commonly found on the [arm. Knowledge gained by master-
_ ing this project will give club members more self-reliance and ability
i11 planning and executing the more diflicult jobs ol repair a11d i1n-
provement needed in the llOl]lC and on the i`arm.
SUGGESTIONS
I. Read carefully the requirements and organization sugges-
tions o11 tl1e second page oi? this circular beI`ore enrolling i11 this
project.
2. Before beginning work on an article, study the drawings. -
list of materials and directions. The drawings give dimensions, de-
tails, and 111etl1od of assembling parts into a [inished article. Altho
tl1e materials needed are given i11 exact sizes, it is 11ot expected that
tl1e pieces will be purchased in these sizes from a lllllll)Cl` dealer.
\\’hen selecting materials from which to make these articles. regu-
lar stock sizes should be obtained oi such lCllglllS and widths that
variotts parts oi tl1e article llllly be cut o11t with tl1e least waste of
material.
  .»\ecuracy, economy ol` time, neatness, ntechattical skill a11d
clear thinking are sotne ol` tl1e things one should strive to de-
velop in this project.
~l. Upo11 completing work for tl1e day, the shop or work space
should be cleaned ZIll(l all tools pill away. Club members will hud
it l)lC2lS(llll to work in il well-kept sl1op. The old saying, "lieep your
sl1op and your shop will keep you." is a good motto for every club
n1e1nbere11rolli11g i11 this project. .\n orderly work space also leads
to greater success in attai11i11g1l1e {lllll 2lll(l purpose ol` this project.

THE WORK SPACE
Even tl1o El well-equipped lillllll Sll()l) is :1 very profitable invest»
ment, it is 11ot necessary to have il sep211‘:1te building lor il sl1op 111
order to do lllC work required 111 this project. \\’orking space may
be found lll :1 school building, b:1se111e11t of tl1e house, or lll one
C()l`ll€l` of il l]l2lCllllWCl`}` shed. tobacco barn. tobacco stripping shed,
or other outbuilding. Any well-lighted. well-ventilated l`(')Olll hav-
ing suflicient floor 2ll`C2l lor :1 l)Cll(Tll 2lll(l work space 111:1y be used.
l’rovision should be made for l1e:1ti11g tl1e work space, since most of
tl1e work o11 tl11s project may be (l()IlC during cold or l`2llll)' weather.
'l`l1e brick brooder stove illustr:1ted 111 Kentucky Extension (jircular
No. l57 might be used for this purpose.
SELECTING WOODWORKING TOOLS
Club niembers will not necessarily have to buy a large number
of tools 111 order to €l`ll`Oll in this project as SOlll€ of the111 111ay be
_ already available o11 tl1e [arm. Those that are out of order should
be repaired a11d sharpened (see tl1e section 011 care a11d repair of
tools o11 p:1ge 5). If tools 1n11st be p11rcl1:1sed, select well-know11
111:1kes, of good quality :111d proper size to use for g`CllCl`2ll repair
work o11 tl1e liZll`111. Tools 111ade from good lllfll€l`l21lS 121st longer Illl(l
:1re easier to keep lll good conditio11. If tl1e funds for buying tools
:1re limited, buy those which are most 11eeded. Additional tools
llllly be acquired as experience is gained a11d tl1e more diihcult jobs
are undertaken.

CARE AND REPAIR OF TOOLS
Sp Club members should cultivate a desire for good tools and learn
in how to keep them in proper condition. lt is easier to do accurate
Eu. work with clean, sharp tools than with rusty, dull ones.
.1;, Tools should be kept in a clean, dry place convenient to the
d workbench. They may be placed on a rack, in a cabinet or in the
\._ drawers ol the workbench. The space lor each tool may be indi-
(L cated by a painted picture of the tool where it is to be placed (see
O[ hgure 1). At a glance one can see where each tool belongs and miss-
,1. ing tools can be easily identified.

All metal parts of woodworking tools should bc given a thin

s may be cleaned by rubbing theni with oil and powderctl punnce
stone or hne sandpaper.

 6 Ken/itc/cy ENf€7I.YI-OIZ Circular No. 325
Literature on sharpening and repairing woodworking tools may
be obtained from the various tool manufacturers or from local
hardware dealers. lt is advisable for the club members to have an {
experienced person teach them how to sharpen and repair the tools l
they will use in this project.
SELECTION OF LUIVIBER
The grade of lumber and kind of wood to use in making an
article depend upon the strength and finish desired. Oak, gum,
beech, hickory, or other strong wood should be used in making ar-
ticles such as milking stools and hammer handles. Since unusual
strength is not required in such articles as the bird house, tool box, E
flower box and feed hoppers, such woods as pine, cypress and bass- I
wood may be used. In making book ends, door stops, or other I
articles to be used in the home, woods that may be given an attrac- K
tive finish should be used. \‘\i’oods such as maple, walnut, cherry
and gum are considered among the finer furniture woods which ex-
` cel in strength and beauty when properly finished.
FINISHING WOODWORK
The first thing to do in finishing an article after it is assembled
is to prepare the surface. The wood should be planed and rubbed
with fine sandpaper or steel wool to remove all mill marks and i1n—
perfections. All the smoothing processes should be done with the
grain of the wood, as cutting across the grain mars the surface and
shows in the Hnished work. Stain, wood Filler, shellac, varnish, wax,
enamel, or a combination of these may be used to Hnish articles for
the home. A Hnish should be chosen that blends with other pieces
of furniture in the house. ,»\rticles to be used outside the house
may be given two or three coats of paint. Local paint dealers can
furnish information regarding the selection of paints and hnishing
materials and their application to different kinds of wood.

SAWHORSE
At least two sawhorses are required in the shop. The sawhorse
should be made o[ material surfaced on all sides and edges. Before
starting to lay out the material, make a careful study ol the draw-
ing to determine angle cuts. Alter sawing and chiseling out slots
(A) in the beam, hold the legs against the beam in the slots and
mark the cuts (B) with a straight-edge laid on top oI` the beam.
Alter the legs are cut, screw them to the beam holding them at the
correct slant. Then mark and cut the Iour ?%4" x Bl//Q" x l2" l)l`2l(Q_C$

HOMEMADE JIG SAW°" ,1
The homemade jig saw shown in Hgure 4 is used to cut curved or {
irregular lines where a hand saw could not be used. This saw may
also be used for cutting enclosed curves such as the 2%" entrance 1 A
holes for the bird house shown in Hgure l2. For such enclosed
curves, a small hole should be bored with an auger bit, one end ol
the saw blade released and inserted thru this hole, then the saw {
blade replaced in the saw arm.  
All pieces except the M/’ x 3l/I" X SO" upright and the saw table A
should be made of hard wood. The saw table may be made ol` ply- (
wood.
* Plans and directions for building the homemade jig saw were furnished by Mr. Ray-
mond Layne, leader of the West Union 4-H Club. The saw was demonstrated at Junior
Week by this club, in 1938.
