Mitchell +12 B 22 + +Printed in United States of America + + + + +PREFACE + + +Toys are today regarded as educational factors in the life of boys and +girls. New toys come into demand at frequent intervals in the growth and +mental development of the child. On account of the unfailing interest on +the part of the pupils in toys and because of the unlimited educational +possibilities contained in toy making, this work is rightfully taking an +increasingly important place in the manual arts program in the schools. + +This book is the outgrowth of toy-making problems given to junior-high +and high-school pupils. The author claims no originality for some of the +toys. However, most of them have been originated or improved upon in the +author's classes. + +While it is entirely satisfactory to have any of the toys mentioned in +this book made as individual projects, they are here offered as suitable +group projects or production projects, and it is hoped that the +suggested form of shop organization for production work as treated in +Part I is flexible enough so that the plan can be applied to most any +shop conditions. + +The drawings of toys in Part II will suggest a variety of articles which +may be used in carrying out the production work. + +Of course, the success of organizing and conducting classes for this +kind of work depends largely upon the instructor. He must know +definitely what he is trying to get done. He must adopt and pursue such +methods of dealing with both the members of the class and the material +as will contribute directly towards the desired end. + +Toy making carried on by the so-called productive plan, if handled +properly, will bring out many of the essentials of an organization +typical of the commercial industries. Together with its educational +possibilities and its power to attract the attention of those engaged in +this activity, toy making will rightfully take its place alongside other +important subjects offered in a complete industrial arts course. + +The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to William E. +Roberts, supervisor of manual training, Cleveland Public Schools, for +valuable suggestions and inspiration; to Joseph A. Shelley, Jersey City, +N. J., for suggestions on finishing kiddie car wheels; to the Eclipse +Air Brush Company, Newark, N.

Bats 117 + + + + +SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS + + +Where the work is to be done on the so-called productive basis, it is of +utmost importance that, before starting, the classes should be so +organized as to allow the work to be carried on in the most efficient, +progressive manner. The form of shop organization suggested in this book +is recommended. However, the instructor may, particularly if he has had +good practical shop experience, employ other methods of organization +that are just as good and possibly even better for his particular class +and the conditions under which he has to work. + +It is also of great importance that the instructor should acquaint +himself with the processes involved in the making of each toy before +allowing the class to begin it. This may be accomplished by the making +of a sample of the contemplated project, carefully analyzing its +different parts and arranging the operations in a logical sequence. +This phase of the work may be done during class discussions and +demonstrations at which time the different jigs and fixtures needed for +progressive production may also be developed. + +The different methods of coloring toys have been suggested with the hope +that the student will gain a realization of the importance of finishing, +from both the artistic and the practical point of view. The application +of paint by means of compressed air is the latest development in the +coloring of toys, and an equipment in the school shop illustrating the +principles of compressed air as applied to productive finishing of toys, +is a step forward in making school shops function as they should. + +The working drawings in this book should serve as suggestions. They have +been so constructed as to be free from unnecessary technicalities, and +to leave as much opportunity as possible for the exercise and +development of the student's judgment. + +It will be found that toy making offers itself readily to the desired +co-operation and correlation with other departments in the school. For +instance, the art department may aid with the designing and color scheme +to be used on toys; the general metal shop may help in the making of +necessary metal parts: the mechanical drawing department can co-operate +in the making of working drawings; the mathematics department can figure +the costs of production, etc., etc. + +It is hoped that the purpose of this book is not merely to set forth a +few plans and drawings for the construction of toys, but to give the +work the broadest possible application; creating a constructive +influence on the minds of the students, in which case it will also act +as a means of bringing into closer relationship their life outside of +school with the work in school. + + + + +[Illustration: TOY MAKING ON A PRODUCTIVE BASIS EMPLOYING FACTORY METHODS] + + + + +PART I + +OPERATIONS IN TOY MAKING + + + + +CHAPTER I + +PRODUCTIVE WORK + + +#1. Suggested Plan for Shop Organization.#--While it is entirely +satisfactory to have any of the toys mentioned in this book made as +individual projects, they are here offered as suitable group projects or +production projects. Production work may be defined as work done by a +class to turn out a number of similar projects that have a marketable +value, with the aid of jigs, fixtures, and other means of duplication, +illustrating the industrial or practical application to the tasks in +hand, Figs. 1, 2, and 3. This does not mean, however, that the school +shops be transformed into a factory in the full sense of the word. It +should differ from a factory in that the education of the student is the +major part of the product, while in the factory production is the +foremost aim. + +In doing work by the productive plan two important problems will present +themselves at the outset; first, the time element; and second, +industrial or practical application to the tasks in hand. + +A brief explanation of the plan of organization in one of the author's +classes will attempt to show how nearly these problems can be solved. + +[Illustration: Fig. 1. Material for toys, prepared on a large scale] + +#2. Grouping of Students.#--Classes are divided into groups of between +four and six boys, with a boy foreman appointed at the head of each +group. The foreman is held responsible for the work turned out by his +boys. He is to see that they understand just what is to be done and how +it is to be done. All the group foremen are directly responsible to the +general foreman who in turn is responsible to the instructor. The +general foreman is to act as an inspector of finished work after it has +received the group foreman's O.K. He is also held responsible for the +condition of the shop during his class hour. This includes looking after +all material, the manner in which stock is put away after class, and +adherence to all shop rules that have been adopted to help in the +efficiency of shop procedure. + +[Illustration: Fig. 2. A large order of toys partly constructed] + +#3. The Time Clerk and Tool-Room Clerk.#--A "_Time Clerk_" is appointed +to take charge of the time cards. He is also held responsible for all +the clerical work that is to be done in the shop. + +A _Tool-Room Clerk_ is appointed to take charge of the shop tool room. +He is to keep check of all tools given out and taken in. His spare time +should be devoted to the care of tools. + +If possible, each boy in the class should be given an opportunity to act +in each capacity that has been created, so that he may get the most +varied experience in shop procedure. This will necessitate the changing +of boys from one group to another; the changing of foremen, clerks, +etc., at intervals which will of course be governed by the size of the +class and the number of hours devoted to the work. + +[Illustration: Fig. 3. Milk wagons completed by the production method] + +#4. Recording Attendance.#--Boys, upon entering the shop, register their +presence at the Time-Card Rack, Fig. 4. This is done by turning the time +card shown in Fig. 5, so that the back side, which has the word present +printed at top, is exposed. The time clerk then inspects the cards and +notes those that have not been turned, and records the absences. He then +fills in the date and passes the cards out to the boys in the shop. +Toward the latter part of the period, a few minutes time is given the +boys to fill in the necessary data on the time card. + +The time cards are then collected by the time clerk and put into a box +where the time cards of all the classes are kept. In the meantime the +time clerk puts back into the time rack the cards of the incoming class. +This duty is performed by the time clerks of all the classes, thereby +necessitating the use of only one time card rack. + +[Illustration: Fig. 4. The time-card rack.] + +#5. Time Cards.#--Referring to the time card mentioned in Fig. 5 it will +be seen that the workman's shop number is filled in at the top. Then +under the heading of "Woodworking Department" are two horizontal rows of +items which need very little explanation. Following are three columns +headed "Operation," "Assignment," and "Time." Below the word "Operation" +are set down the various operations undertaken in the woodworking +department, with several vacant spaces provided where other and special +operations can be filled in. It will also be noticed that "Operations" +are divided into two kinds, machine work and bench work. The +instructor's glance at the time card will tell him at once what phase of +the work the boy has been employed in and will help him in apportioning +the work so that the boy is offered a varied experience. + +#6. Using Time Card.#--For shops that are not equipped with the kind of +machines marked on the illustrated card, it would be well to omit the +names of machines in the "operation" column. The instructor may then +fill in the operation whatever it may be. + +Under the heading "Assignment" and against the operation which is to be +undertaken by the student, the instructor writes in the name of the part +to be made. This is the student's assignment and it should be read by +him at the time he records his presence at the time-card rack upon +entering the shop. + +In making assignments, the instructor may find it rather difficult to +keep up with large classes of boys. This difficulty may be overcome by +making an assignment to an entire group instead of to each boy. For +example, in a class of twenty-five that would probably be divided into +five groups, the instructor may make the assignment to the foreman of +each group and each foreman in turn can inform the boys of his group as +to the nature of the assignment. The boys can then enter the assignment +on their time cards at the end of the period when the time spent on the +job at hand is also recorded. + +The student's shop number, name, and grade should be filled in by the +time clerk who can get out a number of cards for each student in advance +and these are kept ready for use by the instructor. The instructor can +then mark the project and the job number together with the student's +assignment. At the same time he estimates the journeyman's time and rate +and enters them in the space provided. + +The time card in Fig. 5, is 3-1/2 inches by 9 inches, made of three-ply +bristol board. All worker's cards are printed on white colored bristol +while those of the foremen are of blue colored bristol. This plan is for +the instructor's convenience to be able to pick out the foremen's time +cards at a glance. + +In the triple column under the heading "TIME" is provided room for the +date and spaces in which the student can write the time in minutes spent +on the various operations on that date. The triple columns on each side +of the card allow of the cards being used for six days. If a job lasts +longer than six days another card should be used marking them No. 1 and +No. 2, respectively, in the space marked "Card No." Both cards should be +fastened and kept together. + +[Illustration: Fig. 5. Time card] + +Effort should always be made to have all the assignments short (less +than six days) so that the student's record may be computed at the end +of each week by the time clerk. + +#7. Grading Students.#--The next four spaces contain in condensed form, +the information itemized in other parts of the card. This, together with +other information set down by the instructor, is the vital material +sought for. + +The item A "Journeyman's Time" is very easily recorded by the +instructor. It is arrived at in the same way as in making out the +estimate for any piece of work and can be recorded almost at once. The +main purpose here is to set for the student a standard of time on which +to work. + +The item B is the rate in points per hour, based on the journeyman's +time. + +The item C is the total of the student's time added together from the +various spaces under "Time." + +Item D "Quality Decimal" is the quality of the student's job expressed +in the form of a decimal, with 100% as the maximum. This mark should be +filled in by the instructor when the student completes his job. + +The next item, the number of points the student earns is found by the +formula Points = (AxB)D + + Points earned per hour = ((AxB)D)/C + +For example, a student receives an assignment to cut to thickness, +width, and length, sixty chair legs. The size of the legs he is to get +from the job blueprint. He spends 60 minutes a day, for three days, +making a total of 180 minutes or 3 hours. The time it would take a +journeyman to do the same job is estimated at 2 hours. The rate +adopted is at 80 points per hour; the journeyman therefore earns +AxB = 2x80 = 160 Points. The quality of the student's job is graded by +the instructor as 75%. The number of points the student earns is found +by the formula Points = (AxB)D = (2x80).75 = 120 Points. To find the +number of points the student earns per hour, divide 120 points by the +number of hours it took the student to complete the job, which equals +120/3 = 40, the number of points the student earns per hour. However, +if the student would be graded 100%, he would earn the same number of +points as the journeyman. But of course, he would have done it in three +hours where the journeyman has earned the same number of points in two +hours. It will readily be seen that this scheme offers the student an +everlasting incentive to equal the journeyman's record. + +Having obtained the points on the time card or assignment card as it may +be called, these are then transferred to a monthly accomplishment sheet +as shown in Fig. 6, which is provided for all the students in all +classes. + +[Illustration: Fig. 6. Monthly accomplishment sheet] + +The total number of points for each boy, group, and class can then be +easily obtained. These totals can be put up in poster form and hung on +the shop's bulletin board, showing the standing of each boy, group, and +class. It is surprising the amount of interest and competition that can +be aroused; everyone working for the highest honors, unconsciously, with +a competitive spirit that will bring out considerable thought and effort +to the matter of handling material for maximum production. + +#8. Preliminary Discussion and Preparation for Shopwork.#--Of course, no +time card or assignment-record scheme can hope entirely to eliminate the +necessary preliminary discussions and preparation. The author has found +it of material help to meet the foremen of all the classes at hours +other than their regular class hour and discuss such topics as "Securing +Cooperation," "Instructing Workers," "Maintaining Cleanliness and +Order," "Records and Reports," "Inspecting Work," "Routing Material Thru +Shop," "Care of Stock," etc. + +Details regarding construction and assembling should be worked out by +the instructor beforehand, and also developed with the class as the work +progresses. Care should be taken that plans are carefully made regarding +the storage of stock and unfinished parts. + +The old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," is an +old one, but a good one. + +#9. Bazaars, Toy Sales, Etc.#--The plan of selling toys, that are made +in the school shop, to the boys and girls of the school is a plausible +one. It can very easily be accomplished in the form of bazaars, +exhibitions, or school toy sales. + +The writer has had a number of samples of different toys made and put on +exhibition, and orders taken, requiring a deposit on each order. These +were then turned in to the shop department and the toys made on the +productive plan. + +The boys in the shop would receive school checks, Fig. 7, for the total +number of points that they earned for the semester. These checks could +then be used by them towards the purchasing of any of the toys that were +put on sale; a certain number of points required for the purchase of +different toys. + +[Illustration: Fig. 7. Credit check, based on number of points carved] + +This plan was made possible by adding on to the number of orders +received an additional number equal to the number of boys in the shop. +For example, twenty-four orders for toy milk wagons were received by a +class of twenty-four boys. Then instead of making twenty-four toy milk +wagons we doubled the number and made forty-eight of them. The price +that was figured on for the twenty-four orders would more than cover the +cost of material for the other twenty-four articles that the boys would +be able to buy with their earned checks. + + + + +CHAPTER II + +COLORING TOYS + + +#10. Sanitation Emphasized.#--All application of color to toys should +carry with it a realization that toys are meant primarily for children +and that all paints should therefore be free from poisonous compounds. + +All paints used should be of good quality so that it will not come off +easily to discolor the hands or tongues of children who cannot resist +the temptation of sticking everything possible into their mouths. + +#11. Preparation of Surfaces.#--Wooden toys may be finished quite bright +and in various colors. + +Before applying the color it is absolutely necessary that every part of +the toy has been thoroly sanded. Where sanding is done by machine, care +should be taken not to sand the wood too much. Many difficulties may +arise from too much as well as from too little sanding. In hand sanding, +the use of a block 2-1/2" x 3-1/2", to which is glued a piece of cork, +is recommended. + +#12. Application of Water Colors.#--Toys may be colored by the use of +different materials and by various methods. Kalsomine colors, opaque +water colors, variously known as show card colors, liquid tempera, and +letterine,--all come under the heading of water colors. All but the +kalsomine may be obtained in small jars and ready for use. Kalsomine +colors come in powder form in various colors and may easily be prepared +by mixing with water and a little glue to bind the parts together. They +are much cheaper than the ordinary forms of transparent and opaque water +colors. They may be applied with the ordinary water color brushes. + +After a coat of water color has been applied to the toy, it may be +necessary to remove the rough parts with very fine sand paper. Care +should be taken not to "cut thru" when sanding. + +To preserve and protect the water color on the toy a coat of white +shellac may be applied. If a more durable finish is desired a coat of +good clear varnish over the shellac will serve the purpose. + +#13. Analine Water Stains.#--For general finishing of toys analine water +stains will produce excellent results. They are known for their ability +to penetrate the wood deeply and the ease with which any shade can be +produced. Water stain raises the grain of the wood more than any other. +This makes it necessary to sandpaper down the raised grain until smooth +and then proceed with the shellacking and varnishing until the desired +results are obtained. + +In preparing analine water stains, only analines that are soluble in +water are used. Place an ounce of the analine to a quart of hot or +boiling water, pouring the water over the dye-stuff and stirring +meanwhile with a wooden paddle or stick. Soft water is the best. In +about an hour the dye may be filtered thru a piece of fine woven cloth. +As metal is apt to discolor the dye, it is better to use a glass +container. If the prepared solution is too strong it may be diluted in +more water. Use hot water for diluting the stain. + +The work with water stain must be done quickly in order to obtain a +uniform coloring on the surface. Water stains are used a great deal +where the dipping process is employed in the finishing of toys. A hot +dipping stain is preferable to a cold dipping stain, first, because it +penetrates more readily and second, because it dries quicker. + +#14. Formulas for Analine Water Stains.#--(Stock Solutions). + +_Red_: Rose benzol five parts, water ten parts. + +_Rose Red_: Dissolve 3 oz. Rose Bengal in 5 pints of water. + +_Blue_: (a) Dissolve 1 oz. of the best indigo carmine in 8 oz. of +water. (b) Prussian blue dissolved in water. + +_Dark Blue_: Dissolve 3 oz. Bengal blue in 3-1/2 pints of boiling water, +and stir and filter the fluid in ten minutes time. + +_Green_: Mix Prussian blue and raw sienna in such proportions as will +give the desired color. Mix in water. + +_Brown_: Dissolve 3 oz. of Bismark brown in 1/2 gal. of water. + +_Yellow_: Auramine 4 parts, sulphate of soda 10 parts, mixed in water. + +_Black_: Nigrosine black, four ounces, dissolved in one gallon of +boiling water. + +When wanted for use, these analines may be diluted with water. The rule +is, an ounce of analine to the gallon of water to form a working stain. +Or to a pint of the stock solution, as it is called, you may add three +pints of water. + +#15. Oil Stains.#--It will be found that quicker work can be done with +oil stain than with water colors. For that reason, oil stains are also +used a great deal as a dipping stain. In preparing oil stains, the best +mineral or earth pigments to dissolve with turpentine are Van Dyke +brown, chrome green, burnt and raw sienna, and lamp black. + +#16. Shellacking.#--There are two kinds of shellac, orange and white. +The white shellac is orange shellac that has been bleached. The purpose +of shellac as commonly understood is to give a quick coat over the +stain. The thin coat formed serves as a protector for the stain and also +as an undercoater for the following coat of varnish. In this way at +least one coat of varnish is eliminated and a great deal of time saved +because the shellac dries within a few minutes. To thin shellac use +denatured alcohol. + +On cheaper toys a coat of shellac only may be used as a covering for the +color stain. If orange shellac is used it will be found that it effects +the color of the stain used. White shellac also produces a slight change +in color and for this reason many working with toys will use a good +clear varnish instead. + +#17. Varnishing.#--Two or three coats of varnish will produce a very +durable finish. The first coat of varnish ought not be quite as heavy as +the succeeding coats. If the varnish is of extra heavy body it should be +reduced slightly for the first coat. The best varnish reducer is thin +varnish. To prepare this reducer, take one part varnish (the same +varnish to be reduced), and two parts of turpentine. Shake these +together well and let stand twenty-four hours before using. This will +reduce the consistency of the varnish without tearing down the body as +pure turpentine would. The first coat of varnish should be allowed to +dry thoroly before the second coat is applied. + +Oil varnishes made from good hard gums, pure linseed oil, and +turpentine, are the most valuable. In using turpentine to thin varnish +care should be taken that adulterated turpentine is not used. To play +the game safe it is advisable to use a little benzine, for it will not +injure the varnish, but will evaporate entirely, and not flatten the +varnish as turpentine does. + +#18. Points on Varnishing.#--(1) The less varnish is worked under the +brush the better its luster. (2) Use clean brush and pot, and clean +varnish. See that the surface is clean before beginning to varnish. (3) +Allow a coat of varnish plenty of time for drying until it becomes hard. + +#19. Colored Varnish.#--Colored varnish is that in which a proportion of +varnish is added to the pigment and thinned. The base is usually an +earth color such as ochre, sienna, venitian red, Van Dyke brown, umber, +lamp black, etc. + +With this the work can be done in one coat. This method of finishing is +usually employed on the cheaper class of toys where it isn't advisable +to apply an expensive finish. + +#20. Another Suggestion for Finishing.#--Tint a gallon of benzine or +gasoline with chrome green, chrome yellow, and vermilion, ground in +Japan until the desired shade is obtained. This formulae is especially +good for dipping purposes. + +#21. Use of Paint.#--Although paint can be bought ready prepared and in +any color, as has been stated, it is advisable to have the students mix +their own colors and choose their own color scheme. + +#22. Ingredients of good Paint.#--The best paints are usually made by +mixing together white lead, linseed oil, pigment of the desired color +(colors ground in oil), and a drier. + +While white lead is sufficient as the pigment for white paint, a better +result is obtained by mixing zinc oxide with the white lead. These two +substances have the convenient property of balancing each other's +disadvantages. For instance, zinc oxide has a tendency to crack and to +peal, which is overcome by the tougher coating formed by the white lead. +Again, when white lead is exposed to light and weathering, it becomes +chalky, which fault is remedied by the property possessed by zinc oxide, +of remaining hard. + +The linseed oil used is obtained from flaxseed by pressing the thoroly +ground seed. About twenty-three gallons of oil can be obtained from one +bushel of the seed. By boiling the oil with lead oxide or manganese +oxide it can take more oxygen from the air, and thereby its drying +powers are increased. + +Driers are substances that absorb oxygen from the air and give part of +it to the oil. The raw linseed oil absorbs the oxygen from the air very +slowly, but the addition of turpentine is a great aid in overcoming this +defect. + +To insure the best results in painting, one must first consider the kind +and condition of the surface to be painted, and to what use the toy will +be put; then decide on the proper composition and consistency of the +paint. + +#23. Application of Paint.#--In applying the paint to the toy the first +coat should be thinned. This will act as a primer or undercoat for the +succeeding coats of paint. Care should be taken that plenty of time is +allowed between coats for the paint to dry thoroly. Three coats of paint +will produce a good finish. + +#24. Preparation of surface.#--All woodwork must be sanded and thoroly +dry before any paint is applied. Care should be taken to see that all +knots and sappy streaks shall be covered with a coat of orange shellac. +Then apply the first coat. + +After the priming coat of paint is thoroly dry, putty up all knot holes, +dents, cracks, and other defects in the surface with a pure linseed oil +putty composed of equal parts of white lead and whiting. When putty is +dry, proceed with the other coats. + +#25. Tinting Materials.#--Formulas for making tints are to be followed +only in a general way. Make some allowance for slight variations in the +strength and tone of different makes of colors. Chromes and ochres vary +noticeably. Weigh out your color and add it gradually, not all at once, +noting the effect as you go. When you reach the desired shade, stop, +regardless of what the formula calls for. Turpentine and dark driers +will slightly alter shades. Make allowance for this. + +#26. Mixing Paints.#--Faulty mixing, even with the best of materials, is +not likely to make durable paint. The important thing is to give the +lead and oil a chance to incorporate themselves in that close union +which they always make if allowed to do so. The following directions +give best results. The order is important. + +(1) Break up the white lead with a paddle, using only enough oil to +bring it to the consistency of colors in oil. + +(2) Add your colors for tinting. Coloring matter added after the paint +has been thinned is likely to break up in lumps which leave streaks +when brushed out. + +(3) Put in drier. + +(4) Add remainder of oil, stirring well. + +(5) Last of all, put in turpentine. + +Thinners help only the flow of the paint never the quality. + +To strain paint thru cheese cloth before using will be a safeguard +against lumpy colors and streakiness. Paint also spreads further if +strained. + +#27. Paint Formulas.#--As most toys are exposed to the weather a great +deal, the following formulas are recommended. These take no account of +tinting materials. + +(a) Priming Coat: + + 25 pounds pure white lead + 1 gallon pure raw linseed oil + 1/2 gallon pure turpentine + 1/4 pint drier, free from rosin + +(b) Body Coat: + + 25 pounds pure white lead + 3/8 gallon pure raw linseed oil + 3/8 gallon pure turpentine + 1/4 pint drier, free from rosin + +(c) Finishing Coat: + + 25 pounds pure white lead + 1 gallon pure raw linseed oil + 1/4 pint pure turpentine + 1/4 pint drier. + +One must exercise his own discretion in using a larger or smaller +quantity of oil according to whether the wood is oil absorbing, as white +pine, poplar, and basswood, or less permeable, as yellow pine, cypress, +spruce, and hemlock. + +#28. Formulas for Making Tinted Paint.#--Any color or tint may be +obtained by varying the addition of tinting colors. These tinting colors +are called "colors in oil." The colors should be added to the white lead +before the paint is thinned. + +To twenty-five pounds of white lead ground in oil add colors in oil as +follows: + + Medium Blue Slate 3-1/2 oz. lamp black + + Gray Blue 1/4 oz. lamp black + 1 oz. Prussian blue + 1/4 oz. medium chrome green + + Dark Drab 5 lbs. French ochre + 1/2 lb. lamp black + 1/4 lb. Venitian red + + Dark Slate 2 oz. lamp black + 3 oz. medium chrome yellow + + Dark Lilac 1 oz. lamp black + 5 oz. Venitian red + + Lilac 1/2 oz. lamp black + 1-1/2 oz. Venitian red + + Forest Green 1-1/2 oz. lamp black + 8 lbs. light green + 5 oz. medium chrome yellow + + Buff 1-1/2 lb. French ochre + 3/8 oz. Venitian Red + + Cream 5 oz. French ochre + + Sea Green 3/8 oz. lamp black + 1/2 oz. medium chrome green + 1-1/4 oz. medium chrome yellow + +Where tinting colors are used in sufficiently large quantities to alter +the consistency of the paint, add one-half as much linseed oil and +turpentine, by weight, as you add tinting material. + +#29. Enameling.#--When using enamel as a finish for toys, care should be +taken that the surface of the toy is in proper condition. To obtain good +results proceed as follows: Give the wood a coat of shellac. Sand +lightly and dust. The following coat should consist of part of white +paint and one part of the enamel to be used. This coat should be +slightly tinted with the finishing color, if the finishing coat is not +white. Allow twenty-four hours for drying thoroly; then sand with +No. OO sand paper. Next apply a coat of enamel of the color desired for +the finished work. (Enamels may be tinted with colors ground in oil.) + +Should the enamel not work freely, add a spoonful of benzine to a gallon +of enamel. Turpentine may also be used as a thinner for enamel. + +A better finish of enamel consists of two coats of paint before applying +the enamel. This gives it a stronger body and of course makes it more +durable. + +Because of its durability and for sanitary reasons enamel is the most +desirable finish for toys. Its glossy finish is attractive and very +appealing to children. + +#30. The Dipping Method.#--When a considerable quantity of toys is to be +finished, the problem to be faced will be the cost of application of the +paint rather than the cost of the paint itself. The dipping process, +(immersing the material to be covered) is found to be the most +successful, especially in toy making, where so many small parts are +used. + +Many of the small pieces made can be subjected to the dipping process at +quite a saving of time and labor, with probably better results than +where the application of paint or stain is done with a brush. + +The success of the dipping process depends on the arrangement adopted +for holding the toys while the actual dipping is done and while they are +drying. Here the exercise of a little ingenuity on the part of the +students and teacher, will overcome most difficulties. + +Supposing that a number of checkers, or handles, or small wheels are to +be stained. A dipping frame as shown in Fig. 8 could very easily be +prepared. You will notice the screen tray (which is removable), and the +tin sheet which slopes towards the container. The small pieces to be +stained can be handled in wire baskets with mesh just small enough so +that the pieces will not fall thru. + +The wire basket is then immersed in the container and worked up and +down, so that the liquid will penetrate and touch all pieces. It is then +pulled up and swung over the screen tray, where the contents of the wire +basket is dumped. Here, the superfluous paint will drip off on the tin +sheet, which, because of its slope, will cause the superfluous paint to +flow back in to the container. Fig. 9 shows the dipping frame in use. + +The screen tray can be removed and placed in a rack to allow for further +drying. Several trays could then be made and a rack to hold them could +very easily be constructed. + +The paint used for dipping purposes must so be prepared that too much +does not run off or too much stay on, for this is surely one way to +spoil the work. It should be thinned to the right consistency and care +should be taken that the thinners used are of the best quality. + +Where larger pieces of work are to be dipped, wire attachments could be +devised and each part hung separately over the dipping frame until ready +to be placed in a rack. If the wire attachment forms a hook on one end, +it will be possible to hang up the toy until drained and dried. In +removing the toy from the paint it should be drawn out very slowly so +that the surface of the paint may be left as smooth as possible. + +Where one desires line effects on toys, these may be lined in afterwards +with a small size striping brush or sign painter's pencil. + +[Illustration: Fig. 8. Dipping frame] + +[Illustration: Fig. 9. Using the dipping frame] + +#31. Polishing by Tumbling.#---Excellent results in polishing large +quantities of small pieces, may be obtained by tumbling. The material to +be polished should be thoroly dry. The parts are then placed in a +tumbler as shown in Fig. 10. Cut up paraffine wax into small pieces, +using about one-fourth pound to each tumbler full of toys. Allow these +to tumble several hours. This will distribute the wax evenly over the +parts and produce a polished surface. + +The tumbler as shown in Fig. 10 is turned by hand, altho it could very +easily be placed in a lathe, where one is available. + +#32. Care of Brushes.#--A suitable place should be provided for brushes +that are not in use. A tin-lined keeper is recommended. Brushes should +be suspended so that their bristles will not touch the bottom of the +keeper, and have the liquid in which they are kept come well up over the +bristles, so that none of the paint or varnish may dry in the butt of +the brush. + +#33. Paint Application by Means of Compressed Air.#--In recent years, +great advancement has been made in the application of paint by means of +compressed air. The early use of pneumatic painting equipment was +confined almost exclusively to the application of finishing materials +such as japans, enamels, lacquers, varnishes, etc., on manufactured +products. But in the past few years improvements have been made which +eliminate all of the difficulties originally experienced and make +possible the use of this method for interior and exterior painting, such +as buildings, ships, etc.; and at present, a large portion of factory +maintenance work is done in this manner. Excessive fumes have been +eliminated and all materials can be applied without removing the +volatile thinners, solvents, binders, etc., thru air reduction. This is +brought about thru the use of low pressure and the perfection of +ingenious patent nozzles and other improvements. + +[Illustration: Fig. 10. Tumbler for polishing small pieces] + +#34. Uses of Pneumatic Sprayers.#--Pneumatic paint sprayers, or air +brushes, are extensively used in the manufacture of toys, furniture, +automobile bodies, sewing machines, telephones, electrical equipment; in +fact, very nearly all manufactured products, as well as on ships, +structural steel and iron work, bridges and buildings. + +The speed of the air brush is very great compared with hand-brush work. +Usually, an air-brush operator will accomplish as much in one hour as a +hand or bristle-brush worker will in one day; and it is possible to +obtain an even coating, free from sags, runs or brush-marks and better +results are obtained than with the hand brush method. A film of paint +can be applied in one operation equal to two hand-brush coats, as it is +not necessary to reduce paints by thinning as much for air brush +application, in a great many instances, as is the usual practice for +hand-brushing. The air sprayer can also reach places inaccessible to the +hand brush, and a perfect coat can be applied over rough, uneven +surfaces, which could not be obtained by hand-brushing. + +In considering pneumatic painting equipment, the most important thing to +be kept in mind is the proper application of materials. This can be +successfully accomplished only thru the use of compressed air at low +pressures. By this is meant using only sufficient main-line air to lay +the paint, enamel, varnish or whatever finish may be used, on the +object. Excessive pressure results in fumes, waste of material and air +reduction taking place. By air reduction is meant the removal of the +more volatile solvents, thinners, binders, etc., thru evaporation, and +the material thus loses its adherent and coherent properties. + +Both types of air-brush equipment illustrated here require three cubic +feet of air per minute to operate and the pressure necessary depends on +the density, consistency or viscosity of the material used. For example, +undercoaters, japans, etc.; require from twelve to fifteen pounds of +pressure to apply perfectly; while enamels and varnishes take from +eighteen to twenty-five pounds. Water stains require about five pounds +of pressure. + +#35. Construction of Pneumatic Painting Outfit.#--A pneumatic painting +outfit for finishing work consists essentially of an air brush, either +of the attached-container type or the gun-type with separate paint +tank, and a small compressor of sufficient capacity to operate the air +brush, which can be belt-driven from shafting or direct connected. An +exhaust hood with fan, for the removal of fumes, is advisable where the +operation is reasonably continuous and especially where lacquers are +used. The paint, ready for application, is poured into the tank; and the +compressed air line leads to the tank with a branch line for air and +paint from the tank to the nozzle of the gun type of machine; while only +the air line is required with the attached-container type. + +The air hose used is 5/16" in diameter while the paint or fluid hose is +the same size. The paint hose is made of a special compound to resist +the action of the thinners, solvents, etc., used in the paint; and it is +important to have this correct, so that the lining will not disintegrate +and clog the air brush or gun. + +Fig. 11 shows a five-gallon container type. It will be noticed that the +fluid connection is nearest the nozzle and that the air connection is at +the bottom of the grip. + +#36. Special Attachments for Different Surfaces.#--A cone nozzle is +furnished for painting irregular surfaces and a fan nozzle for wide, +flat work. Adjusting and locking the nozzle regulates the degree of +atomization. The jets of the fan nozzle are depressed to prevent being +knocked out of alignment. Final regulation of the flow of material is +made on the back of the gun, independent of the pressure on the material +container. A wide variety of adjustment is possible with this positive +regulation. + +The first pull on the trigger gives air only, which can be used for +dusting ahead of the work; and as the trigger is released, the air valve +closes last, which prevents clogging and dripping. When adjustments have +been made the trigger action is the only moving part of the machine. +Figs. 12 and 13 show the five-gallon container type in actual use. + +#37. Cleaning Pneumatic Machines.#--It is not necessary to take the gun +apart nor disconnect the hose to clean the machine. Thinner can be run +thru the device without loss by placing a small can of reducer of the +last material used in the machine, and forcing it thru in the usual +manner. + +[Illustration: Fig. 11. A five-gallon air brush outfit] + +#38. Directions for Cleaning Machine.#--Close right-hand Air Valve and +open release valve. Unscrew air nozzle a few turns. Obstruct outlet with +thumb and pull trigger. Spraying pressure is thus forced thru gun and +fluid hose and the material backed into the container. It is advisable +frequently to run thinner thru the machine as follows: (1) Place small +can of thinner in center of container directly beneath fluid tube. (2) +Replace cover and tighten wing-nuts. (3) Close left-hand air valve and +open right-hand air valve. Pressure on container will force thinner thru +the machine and clean perfectly without loss. Do not use spraying +pressure in cleaning. The thinner can be used again for either cleaning +or thinning purposes. + +[Illustration: Fig. 12. Using pneumatic paint sprayers] + +#39. Directions for Operating Pneumatic Equipment.#-- + +1. Attach main-line air hose to air filter. + +2. Attach fluid hose to connection marked "Fluid" on tank and to the +front connection near air nozzle on hand-piece. + +[Illustration: Fig. 13. A five-gallon outfit in actual use] + +3. Attach air hose to connection marked "Air" on cover and to the handle +connection on hand-piece. + +4. Thoroly mix and strain material so that it is entirely free from +skins, lumps, and foreign materials. + +5. Tighten wing-nuts until paint container is air-tight. + +6. See that release valve is closed. Then open right-hand air valve, +turn fluid-pressure regulator until gage shows 5 lbs. pressure in +container. Pull trigger and use fluid regulator on gun to control the +flow. If material is heavy, increase pressure in container. + +[Illustration: Fig. 14. Attached container type of sprayer] + +7. Open left-hand air valve and turn spraying pressure regulator until +sufficient pressure (5 lbs. to 25 lbs.), is obtained to lay the material +on. + +8. Make final adjustment of the flow of material with fluid regulator on +back of hand-piece and get proper spray by adjusting the air nozzle. + +9. Spraying pressure and pressure in the container depends upon the +density of the material used and the size of the surface to be coated. A +little experimenting on the part of the operator will determine the best +pressure to use. When the fan nozzle is used, 3 to 5 lbs. more pressure +should be applied to the material container and from 5 to 8 lbs. more +atomizing or spraying pressure used. + +Fig. 14 shows a complete attached container which operates on +identically the same principles as the type shown in Fig. 11. It +consists of a 1-1/2 pint container, reducing outfit, compressor, and air +tank. The 1-1/2 pint container as shown in Fig. 15 is supplied complete +with two fluid tips, gasket, agitator tube, cup-holder, hose union, and +six feet of air hose. + +The reducing outfit in Fig. 16 consists of a regulative valve, an air +gage, and an air filter, complete with connections and fittings. This +outfit is for the purpose of maintaining an even low spraying pressure. + +Regulated pressure is applied to the air-tight material container, +raising the coating material to the nozzle where only sufficient +main-line pressure is used to lay the coating on. The spraying pressure +necessarily depends on the density, consistency and viscosity of the +material used. + +[Illustration: Fig. 15. A one and one-half pint container and parts] + +For fine finishing work, where the quantity of materials used each day +is not great, or where the colors are changed frequently, the attached +container type is recommended. + +#40. Preparing Colors.#--The three primary colors are red, blue and +yellow. With the three primary colors at hand, almost every variety of +color desirable for ordinary use can be easily prepared. Fig. 17 shows a +color chart. + + Red mixed with yellow will result in orange. + Red mixed with blue will result in purple. + Yellow mixed with blue will result in green. + +The colors obtained by mixing any two primaries are called secondary +colors. Therefor the secondary colors are orange, purple and green. + +Orange mixed with purple will result in brown. + +Orange mixed with green will result in olive. + +Purple mixed with green will result in slate. + +The colors obtained by mixing any two secondaries are called tertiary +colors. + +The tertiary colors are brown, olive and slate. + +Of course different tones of each color can be made up by mixing unequal +proportions. + +[Illustration: Fig. 16. Reducing outfit] + +[Illustration: Fig. 17. Chart showing proportions required for standard +colors] + + + + +CHAPTER III + +COMMON WOODS USED IN TOY MAKING + + +#41. Economy in Selecting Material.#--Economic use of materials should +be encouraged at all times. Toy making offers an excellent opportunity +where economy may be taught in the most practical way. + +Where toys are to be painted, more than one kind of wood may be used in +the same toy and thereby using up small pieces of wood that would +otherwise be called scrap. Yet, it is not advisable to sacrifice the +strength and durability of the whole toy for the sake of using up a +piece of scrap wood which weakens the particular part of the toy where +it is used. For that, in the long run, is not economy. + +#42. Qualities of Different Woods Used.#--The following are some of the +common woods used in toy making. + +Maple: hard, fine grained, compact, tough, used for wheels, axles, +handles, dowel rods, etc. + +Ash: white, strong, open grained, easily worked; used for bodies of +coasters, wheels, axles, oars, etc. + +Oak: hard, firm and compact, strong and durable, hard to work. + +Birch: moderately hard and heavy, even grained; difficult to split, but +easily worked. + +Chestnut: resembles oak in appearance, is much softer, moderately hard, +course grained, not strong, but durable. + +Cypress: moderately hard, very fine and close grained, virtually +indestructable; known as "the wood eternal". + +Basswood: white, light, soft, tough, closed grained, easily worked, not +strong, but durable; used for almost any part of a toy where much +strength is not required. + +White Pine: very light, soft, close and straight grained, inferior; easy +to work. + +Yellow Pine, yellowish, grain noticeable, harder than white pine, +stronger. + +Tulip (yellow poplar): light, soft, close and straight grained; tougher +than many woods equally soft, compact, not very strong or durable, +easily worked. + +Spruce: straight growing, light, straight and even in grain, tough, +elastic, easy to work. + + + + +CHAPTER IV + +USE OF JIGS AND FIXTURES + + +#43. Value of Jigs and Fixtures.#--The use of jigs, fixtures, and other +labor-saving devices is an important factor in illustrating industrial +and practical applications in the school shop. It is advisable to let +each group of boys work out its own jig or fixture for the particular +job they have on hand. + +The three most common forms of jigs are cutting jigs, boring jigs, and +assembling jigs. The important reasons for the use of such devices are: +(1) They illustrate the speed of output in shop work. (2) They give the +student a good idea of machine operation. (3) They help in making the +parts interchangeable. (4) They offer an opportunity for getting first +hand information on cutting edge tools and their proper uses. (5) They +show the boy the value of the use of jigs in factory work. + +The toys illustrated in this book have many simple operations, such as +cutting stock to length, drilling holes, surfacing, etc., that can be +easily done by the use of the proper fixtures. + +For that reason toys are desirable projects to be made by the productive +plan. Fig. 18 shows the use of a jig and the miter box. + +#44. Cutting Small Wheels.#--A circle of the desired size wheel may be +laid out on the wood with the aid of a compass, and cut in the outline +with a coping saw or band saw. Of course, it would take quite a long +time by this method to make the small wheels in large quantities and +besides the result would not be as good as when the wheels are made by +machine. + +#45. Turning Wheels.#--Another way to produce wheels is to turn a +cylinder to the required diameter, on the turning lathe. Then cut the +cylinder on the circular saw into required thicknesses of wheels +desired. This method is recommended for quick work. + +[Illustration: Fig. 18. Production of toys by use of jigs] + +If it is desired to round the end of wheels the operation can be done by +leaving the cylinder in the lathe and applying the broad side of the +skew chisel as shown in Fig. 33. The wheels may then be polished with a +cloth after they have been sanded and while rotating in the lathe as +shown in Fig. 34. In sanding, use first a fairly course grade of +sandpaper, No. 1 or 1-1/2 and afterwards a fine grade, No. O or OO. +Before applying the cloth the wood may be varnished lightly while the +lathe is not running, taking care to wipe off all the surplus varnish. +The varnish will assist in giving the surface a fine polish when the +cloth is applied. For further explanations of the use of the turning +lathe, see Sec. 55. + +#46. Use of Wheel Cutter.#--Still another method of making small wheels +is by use of the wheel cutter as shown in Fig. 19. This wheel cutter may +be used in the ordinary bit brace. Good results may be obtained where +the wheels are made out of thin, soft wood. + +This wheel cutter is known on the market as a leather washer cutter. If +one cannot be obtained it can easily be made in the school machine shop +at a small cost. Fig. 20 shows a drawing of a wheel cutter. + +You will notice that the blade can be adjusted to cut any diameter +desired. + +#47. Use of Coping Saw.#--Where a band saw is not included in the shop +equipment, many articles such as animal forms and small wheels could +very easily be cut out with a coping saw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 19. Wheel cutter in use] + +A saw board, as shown in Fig. 21 should be fastened to a table top with +an iron clamp; or, a saw board made to fasten in a vise may also be +used. + +[Illustration: Fig. 20. Details of a wheel cutter which may be made in +school] + +When cutting out the toy part, the coping saw should be held in a +vertical position as shown in Fig. 22, and in an up-and-down motion, +with short fast strokes, following the outline carefully. Cut on the +line. Do not press hard on the saw for the blade is very thin and can +very easily be broken, but it should last a long time if used correctly. + +[Illustration: Fig. 21. Clamping the saw board to the bench] + +[Illustration: Fig. 22. Correct method of holding coping saw] + +#48. Cutting Sharp Corners.#--When cutting a sharp turn in the wood with +the coping saw, care should be taken not to twist the saw blade out of +shape. Upon reaching the sharp turn, continue the up-and-down motion, +but without doing any cutting; turn the wood very slowly until you have +made the complete turn, then continue with the sawing and follow the +rest of the outline carefully. + +[Illustration: Fig. 23. Removing the saw-blade] + +#49. Removing the Saw-Blade from Frame.#--To remove the saw-blade from +the frame, place the head of the frame against the table top as shown in +Fig. 23. Pressing down on the handle will release the saw-blade. When +inserting the blade into the frame the same method may be followed, +being careful that the teeth of the saw-blade point toward the handle of +the frame. The blade may be put in the end or the side slots of the +frame, using the side slots only when the end slots will not serve the +purpose. + +#50. Making Heavy Wheels.#--In turning heavier wheels that are to be +used for coasters, kiddie cars, etc., the work is done with the head +stock only, the wood being supported by the screw-center chuck or face +plate. + +In turning the wheel the first step is the scraping cut as shown in Fig. +24. This cut is properly made with the concave chisel held in such a +position as to give a light scraping cut. Care should be exercised not +to allow the chisel to extend too deeply, otherwise the material will +chip with the grain. + +After the desired circumference has been obtained the surface should be +worked to the desired form as shown in Fig. 25. This is accomplished by +using the lathe rest, set at right angles with the bed or parallel with +the face plate. The illustration in Fig. 26 shows the use of the +dividers in marking off the position of the various corrugations in the +wheel that is being turned. The sanding should be done while the wheel +is in the lathe. Use first a fairly course grade of sand paper and +afterwards a fine grade, No. O or OO. + +#51. Designs for Wheels.#--Suggestions for wooden toy wheels are shown +in Fig. 27. Those numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are plain wooden +wheels varying in design only. No. 8 and 9 are re-enforced with zinc and +large iron washers. No. 10 shows a segment of an iron pipe fitted in the +center of the wheel to prevent wearing away of material. No. 11 shows a +spoke wheel. The spokes are made of dowel rods; these fitting into a hub +that can easily be turned out on the lathe. No. 13 shows a wheel built +in segments which is then cut out on the band saw to resemble a standard +spoke wheel. The rim is 1/8" steel, fastened to spokes with very small +rivets. + +[Illustration: Fig. 24. Making heavy wheels. The scraping cut] + +#52. Cutting Wheels on Band-Saw.#--A circle of the required size wheel +may be marked off on the wood with a compass, then cut in the outline on +the band-saw. This method will leave square corners and will be more or +less out of truth with the center of the wheel. To true up and smooth +the outside of the wheel the lathe attachment as shown in Fig. 28 can be +easily prepared. This attachment consists of a block _A_ fastened to the +lathe bed with a single bolt, and a stop _B_ fastened to the upper face +of the block _A_. The carriage _C_ is a loose piece the same thickness +as the stop _B_ and is provided with a dowel rod to fit the central hole +in the wheel. This dowel rod is so located that when the edge of the +carriage _C_ is tight against the edge of the stop _D_, the distance +from the center of the dowel rod to the face of the abrasive material +on the disk, will be equal to the radius of the finished wheel. + +[Illustration: Fig. 25. Smoothing the side of wheels] + +The wood is cut out on the band saw a scant 1/16" over-size in diameter, +and is then placed on the dowel rod in the carriage _C_ which is held +flat on block _A_ while the edge of the blank is brought in contact with +the grinding disc face by pushing the carriage forward with the left +hand while the blank is slowly revolved with the right. This grinding is +continued until the edges of stop _B_ and carriage _C_ will remain in +contact during a complete revolution of the wheel blank. During this +grinding process, the carriage should be moved back and forth from the +edge to the center of the grinding disc so that the wear on the abrasive +material may be equalized. + +[Illustration: Fig. 26. Using dividers to mark for cuts] + +A similar device used for chamfering the edges of the blanks is also +shown in Fig. 28, as it looks when viewed from the front of the lathe. +The preceding description will suffice for this as the same system of +lettering has been used. It differs only in that block _A_ is made to +set at an angle of 45 degrees instead of being level. + +[Illustration: Fig. 27. Many ways of making wheels for toys] + +[Illustration: Fig. 28. Simple attachments which may be made for lathe] + +Grinding discs may be made either of metal or wood. Metal is preferable +but a hardwood disc fastened to a metal face plate will answer very +well. There are many methods of fastening the abrasing material to the +disc but the most convenient way is by the use of stick belt dressing. +The disc is coated with dressing by holding the stick against it as it +revolves and the abrasive is applied before the dressing has set. A pair +of dividers or trammels is used to cut the abrasive material to the same +diameter as the disc and it should be warmed on the uncoated side before +it is applied. It sticks tightly to the disc but is easily removed and +replaced with fresh material in a few minutes. + +#53. Boring Holes in Wheels.#--The center holes in wheels may be bored +with bit and brace, but better results are obtained if the holes are +bored in the lathe. A drill chuck fitted to the live spindle and a +drilling pad for the tail stock spindle will be required to do this job +efficiently. The tail stock is locked fast and the wheel to be drilled +is placed against the drilling pad and fed up to the revolving bit by +turning the tail spindle feed wheel. This method will produce a cleaner +hole and one that is square with the wheel face. + + + + +CHAPTER V + +OPERATION OF WOODWORKING MACHINES + + +#54. Importance of Machine Operations.#--A fair understanding of what is +the correct position to take at some of the principal machines such as +the lathe, universal saw, jointer, and sander, is very important to the +student in the wood-working department. Such knowledge is of special +importance to the one engaged in toy making, where every knowledge of +use of machines, is put to the test. + +[Illustration: Fig. 29. The roughing cut] + +[Illustration: Fig. 30. The sizing cut] + +Sufficient examples are given to enable the student to arrive at a fair +understanding of the correct postures. + +#55. Operating the Lathe.#--The lathe is perhaps one of the most +important machines used in toy making. It lends itself to unlimited +varieties of work and for that reason is really indispensible in the +shop. + +[Illustration: Fig. 31. The paring cut] + +In Fig. 29 the student is preparing to take the _roughing cut_ in +turning a cylinder. This operation consists of removing the corners of +the square piece and is done with the tool known as the _gouge_. + +After the roughing cut has been taken, calipers set to the diameter +desired will determine the depth of the next cut, _sizing cut_. The +illustration in Fig. 30 shows the student performing this operation with +the _cut-off tool_. + +[Illustration: Fig. 32. Using the cut-off tool] + +When the correct dimension has been found, the next step in the process +of turning a cylinder is the _paring cut_ or finishing cut, Fig. 31. +This is done with the _skew_ or _bevel chisel_. A very thin shaving is +removed by this operation. + +The ends are then cut by using the cut-off tool as shown in Fig. 32. It +is merely taking a slice off the end. If a very thin slice is to be +removed, it is usually made by the long point of the skew chisel. If it +is more than a quarter of an inch it should be _sized_ and then removed +by the skew. + +[Illustration: Fig. 33. Making convex surfaces] + +If it is desired to round the end of a piece or to produce a convex +surface the operation can be done by applying the broad side of the skew +chisel, as in Fig. 33. + +#56. Face Plate Turning.#--The preceding paragraphs describe the process +of turning when the piece is supported between the live and the dead +centers. The processes shown in Figs. 24, 25 and 26, illustrate the +character of the work done with the head stock only when the piece is +supported by the screw-center chuck or face plate. + +[Illustration: Fig. 34. Polishing wood in lathe] + +The first step in face plate turning is the scraping cut, Fig. 24. This +cut is properly made with the concave chisel held in such a position as +to give a light scraping cut. Care should be exercised not to allow the +chisel to extend too deeply, otherwise the material will chip with the +grain. After the desired circumference has been obtained the surface +should be smoothed with the skew chisel. + +[Illustration: Fig. 35. Cutting off stock] + +[Illustration: Fig. 36. Fluting on circular saw] + +Fig. 25 shows the student modeling a rosette, using the rest, set at +right angles with the bed or parallel with the face plate. Prior to the +modeling a shearing cut should be taken with the skew chisel to face +off the material to an even surface. + +[Illustration: Fig. 37. Cutting with special fence] + +The illustration in Fig. 26 shows the use of the dividers. The student +is marking off to a uniform scale the position of the various +corrugations in the rosette he is turning. + +#57. The Universal Saw.#--The operations that can be performed on the +universal saw are so many that no attempt will be made to illustrate +them all here. But enough are given to show the characteristic +operations involved in cross-cutting, ripping, and dadoing,--the three +basic uses of a circular saw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 38. Grooving, or ripping special work] + +It is a more dangerous tool than the lathe and the guard should be kept +over the saw at all times, except of course, in dadoing when it can not +be used. + +Figs. 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, illustrate the basic uses of a circular saw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 39. Cutting segments] + +[Illustration: Fig. 40. Surfacing board on jointer] + +#58. The Hand Jointer.#--The great variety of work that can be done on a +hand jointer depends very largely upon the knowledge and skill of the +operator. It lends itself to so many operations, that the student gains +much in knowledge and efficiency. + +[Illustration: Fig. 41. Cutting bevels on jointer] + +The five operations shown in Figs. 40, 41, 42, 43 and 44, give a fair +idea of the scope of work that is usually accomplished on a hand jointer +and show something of the method by which the work should be done. + +The jointer is another tool where the use of the guard should never be +omitted. + +#59. The Sander.#--The sander is an interesting machine in the school +shop for on it considerable "forming" can be done as with the lathe, +altho its prime use is to make smooth or polish. + +[Illustration: Fig. 42. Jointing the edge] + +In Fig. 45 the boy at the left is forming a mitre while the one on the +right is smoothing surface. + +[Illustration: Fig. 43. Rabetting on the jointer] + +[Illustration: Fig. 44. Cutting miter joints] + +[Illustration: Fig. 45.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
