Basic Carpentry – On the Way to the Top

It seems everybody in the world knows a thing or two about basic carpentry. Or at least, the men do. For sure, these skills are rough, unrefined, and are limited to minor home repairs, replacements, nailing down noisy panels, and covering a hole or two. And the tools are rudimentary as well, from a hammer, to a plane, a chisel, a couple of nails, and down to a handsaw. Moreover, selection of materials is not given much thought and consideration. Further, safety is thrown out of the window like excess wood cuts. But there are carpentry schools that provide classes on the basics and the proper approach to the craft. Like other activities, there is a right way to carpentry.

Basic carpentry skills are needed to properly carry out home repairs, minor additions, renovations, and other projects. Trade schools that teach the basics of carpentering normally discuss about introductory courses such as the manual and power tools and how to use them, read and interpret drawings and symbols, how to mark and measure, executing small projects, basic principles, and practical carpentry skills. Tutorial videos and e-books are also available to the weekend carpenter. Joinery works are some of the basic skills. From the very simple glued joint, to the half joints, the angular mitred joints, the dovetail, mortise and tenon, and others. A mark of a good carpenter knows which joint to use on a particular project.

Carpentry is a complex undertaking that only professional carpenters can perform. Simple carpentry works that are mostly confined to drilling, nailing, and fixing need only the basic tools. One would only depend on simple manual hand and power tools. These tools are steel framing squares, tape measures, handy power nailers, some chisels, chalk line, an electric drill, retractable utility knife, extension cords for power tools, a ladder, power cutters, circular saw, hardware, accessories, and others. Safety goggles, hand gloves, and steel-capped boots cover the safety end. All these items for light construction can fit in carpenter kits and light trucks one can bring along in going to job sites.

Simple carpentry may be called light carpentry in that the size of the work can be managed by one or three people at most. And nearly all of these are related to carpentry jobs in homes, establishments, and interior works. They cover the work of constructing dry walls, fitting of door linings, cutting and fixing of architraves and skirting, dado rails, moldings, windows, kennels, play houses, and others. The proper handling of wood is basic at the same time very important to avoid wastage. Choosing the right kind of wood is also one of the basics. There are many types of wood, from soft to hardwood, that are chosen for work-specific purposes.

A basic carpentry course is a good start on the way to being a master carpenter. Probably the most practical and integral part of it is to accurately read and interpret architectural plans and schematic drawings and make functional multi-view sketches for actual execution. If one can’t correctly tell what and how the job entails and where, no matter his adeptness at his tools, then the individual is as good as a warehouseman. One very important facet is the understanding of electrical layouts and symbols to avoid electrical hazards and accidents. Proper analysis of drawing scales and transferring them to the job site is as important as knowing what the types of lines and their weights mean. There are numerous types of lines used in drawings that signify that something else is either above, below, or hidden.
