A small plane that can easily be used with one hand.

Bridle joints are very similar to the mortise and tenon joint. The difference is in the cut of both the mortise and tenon - they extend to the full width of the piece being used for the tenon and the full depth of the section being used for the mortise.

Simple joint in which two pieces of wood are placed against each other but held with nails, screws, dowels, glue or other fastenings.

Many different types available, used to enable secure fixings when a cavity is present such as stud partitioning walling.

A saw with a thin, narrow blade used for cutting round sharp curves.

To sink the heads, screws or bolts flush with or slightly below the surface of the timber using a countersinking drill bit.

A stone used for sharpening cutting tools, treated with oil to prevent steel particles from clogging the pores of the stone.

Collective measures protect more than one person at any one time, e.g. scaffolds, nets, guardrails. Personal control measures rely upon personal protective equipment and only protect the user, e.g. lanyard, hard hat.

Rectangular groove or recess in the edge of a board, which holds panel or glass in a door or picture-frame.

A saw for cutting length-ways with the grain.

Shakes are cracks in the timber which appear due to excessive heat, frost or twisting due to wind or poor nutrientcontent of the soil during the growth of the tree. Shakes can also be a result of seasoning.Depending upon the shape and the positions shakes can be classified as star shake, cup shake, ring shakes and heart shakes.
