Prepare the work piece as per specifications in a length of 302 mm, width 45 mm and
thickness 30 mm.
2) Marking:
3
a) Using a try square and pencil, first mark face side from left side of the work piece with
distance of 53mm then 45mm and 52mm.
b) Next draw 2mm line, it’s given for cutting clearance.
c) Then from right side 45mm and 105mm to be marked.
d) Using a try square and pencil, draw perpendicular line for all four sides of the given work
piece.
e) Using marking gauge draw the center line 15 mm face edge for both side.
f) Next step to mark 45mm down side for draw the diagonal line of width 5mm.
g) Do the same procedure for another side (left side).
h) The intersecting portion to be marked on the 45mm face side and 15mm face edge, one side
top another side bottom.
3) Cutting /Sawing / Chiseling:
a) Using Carpentry bench vice to hold the piece horizontally and tightly in a vice such that the
portion to be cut is just above the jaw and then to make groove cut
b) Use firmer chisel left side above the diagonal lines.
c) Then take the work piece and place them on the left side of bench vice then use the hand
saw up to 15 mm depth on both diagonal lines.
d) Now using a firmer chisel take series of cuts to remove the wood up to the bottom line, as
shown in figure.
e) Next to hold the piece vertically and tightly in the vice such that the portion to be cut just
above the jaw and use a hand saw to cut the line markings. Remove the required depth
slightly
on the line as shown in figure.
f) Use the firmer chisel cut on the Diagonal lines as shown in figure.
