Joining curved sections L3 Bench

While constructing ​ (a)   components it is always best to use ​ (b)   ​ (c)   -​ (d)   timber.

• less of

​ (a)   joints can be used to joint ​ (b)   sections of ​ (c)   timber together.

• Heading
• solid
• curved
• tongued
• dovetailed
• hollow
• straight
• laminated

 

  Built-up curved sections are best joined with a single heading joint:

• True

• False

  ​ (a)   lengths of curved timber will have a ​ (b)   grain direction along the ​ (c)  

• Laminated
• continuous
• length.
• short
• Morticed
• Steam bent
• width.

 

When laying the curved template on the timber it is best if the grain runs mainly along its length

• True

• False

Straight-grained timber is just as likely to break up as short-grained timber

• True

• False

Using short grained timber will likely result in...

• High quality products

• Less sanding

• Breakout

• Easy machining

Built-up construction is a more simple form of constructing curves than solid construction

• True

• False

Why do we really consider grain direction when designing and constructing shaped products?

• To reduce breakout and improve work quality

• To make machining easier

• To make machining more difficult

• To use the least amount of grain possible

Shaped components ​ (a)   with staggered ​ (b)   – this is a ​ (c)   construction method

• built up in layers
• heading joints
• strong
• made in one piece
• mortice joints
• stile joints
• weak
