Inside the Carpenter’s Toolbox Video:
This 19-minute video opens the carpenter’s “toolbox” and shows your female (and male) students how carpenters turn building materials into buildings.
Students will learn about the tools and construction materials carpenters depend on every day. After a rundown on manufactured wood products like plywood, OSB, I-beam joists and glu-lams as well as the fasteners that hold them all together, the video covers a variety of carpentry tools divided into four groups: planning and drawing, measuring and marking, cutting and shaping and fastening and assembly. Types of carpenters -- rough, finish and general -- are also discussed, and safety is reinforced throughout. The DVD concludes by highlighting resources that are available to those interested in becoming carpenters.
The DVD comes with a downloadable instructor’s guide featuring educational standards, vocabulary, discussion questions and project ideas for your students!
