Q

What are the four main stages of working with timber?

A

the four main stages of working with timber are:
Squaring - to give at least one flat surface and one straight edge
Datum edge marking - to remind where to measure and mark from
sawing, chopping and paring - to remove and shape the wood
Preparing for (and) finishing - gluing, sanding and applying a protective/aesthetic finish

Q

Why is datum marking important before machining timber?

A

Datum edge marking is important before machining timber because
it records which face and edge are the flattest and straightest. This means all marking and measurements can be more accurate and reliable.

Q

When sanding, the various coarseness or ‘grit’ being used should get rougher, or smoother?
