because we cannot put one whole building in a plain thats why we use a scale rule to reduce the huge building into a smalll drawing.

what is the name of the line that we work from to create the building?
we use a building line which we get when we set out profiles.

Assignment 4  Saw Horse Project

1. we got a rough piece of wood from the machine room where we used the buzzer to plane the width of the timber and then we used the thicknessor to plane the length of the timber.

2. after that we marked a 100 in from the edge, to get the angle we used a piece of timber that had the angle in it after marking out the angle we used it to mark on the 100mm, from the 100mm we marked 90mm for the legs, on top we marked 16mm in, from the mark on the sides.

3. after marking it all out i use the panel saw and cut in a parrarel line 0 - 16mm and then i used the chisel to chip out the pieces i cut.

4. we got the legs from the workshop, to mark it we used the the angle from the piece of timber with the 60 by 10 angle on it and then we cut out the angle.

5. after we cut out the angle we glue all four legs with pva and then we nail the legs in

1 Site setout
 Where do we get our mark for the  building line?

we can square a building going diagonal one end of the building line to the other, we do this on both sides and if it is square the numbers will be the same
Name all the parts?

2 Power tool safety
Skill Saw,Beltsander, jig saw, drill,Thickness-er, buzzer, nail gun gas powered, air?
Discribe what each tool does?

Skill Saw
is a machine where you can cut a straight line, diagonal or reduce the thickness

Beltsander
is a machine that saves you time in sanding by hand this will only take a few minuters to sand a piece of wood.

Jig Saw
is a machine that you can cut inside a piece of wood this is better then using a skill saw cause you can do alot that a skill saw cant do.

Drill
this machine drills holes in a piece of wood

Thickness-er
this machine saves time in planning it will reduce the thickness of the piece of wood while having a clean finish 

Sub floor flooring Research

Tempory sub flooring

temporay sub flooring is a sturdy piece of wood which you can use anywhere in a house it is excellent for heavy load where it can support the weight of vehicles and other heavy objects, it is easy to be assembled into any shape and easily alligned and releasably locked togeather. the good things about sub flooring is sub flooring is its cost effective, easy for storage and some sections of it kan be reused.

A method of assembling a temporary flooring assembly is also disclosed. A plurality of rectangular sections are provided. each of the sections has first and second ends and first and second sides, with a keying means extending from the first end and a locking means formed in the second end. a pair of slots are formed in the respective first and second sides of each section. a cam lock is rotatably secured proximate the first side adjacent the first side slot. the cam lock has an arm pivotally moveable through the first side slot. the first side of one of the sections is aligned with the second side of another of the sections so that the slots are aligned. the cam lock is pivoted so that the arm passes through the first side slot and into the second side slot, thereby securing the first and second sides togetha

 

Bearers

 

Sub floor frame: T-section bearer and inline joists

---

Single span joists are set between and are supported off a T section bearer. This produces a shallower floor than conventional bearer and joist arrangements.

Sub floor frame: Joists on bearer

---

The conventional arrangement in sub floor frames is for joists to run over the top of bearers. Joists and bearers are regularly used as continuous span elements running the full length or width of the building.

Sub floor frame: Inline joists fixed to bearer with joist hangers.

---

Single span joist are set between the bearers and supported with proprietary sheet metal beam hangers. This produces a shallower floor than conventional bearer and joist arrangements.











floor joists

the top horizontal framing member of the wall. A horizontal framing member laid at and nailed to the top of the vertical studs. Top horizontal member of a frame wall supporting ceiling joists, rafters, or other members.

14/03/11

for first block we were in the computer lab we we doing:

• assignment 2 which was to find out what types of timber used in the constuction industry               (New zealand)and how we treat timber.
• we also did a research on work horse/ saw horse

after break we were in the classroom talking about profiles and

Assignment 2

The tiypes on timber used during construction:

• Rimu
• Radiota Pine
• Fijian kauri
• Oak
• Kwila
• Balau

For timber framed buildings most of the timber used must be treated to prevent damages within the wood by insects and moisture. the treatment is accordance with nzs 3640 which will normally be:

• Baron salts (H1.1, H1.2)
• Light organic solvent persavative (H.1, H1.2, H3.1, H3.2)
• Copper chrome asenate (H3.2, H4, H5, H6)
• Amoniacal or alkaline copper quaternary (H3.1, H3.2, H4, H5)
• Copper Azole (H3.1, H3.2, H4)

When using copper - based treated timber for exposed situation:

• site treat cut ends
• do not place cut ends in the ground
• do not burn off - cuts on barbecues or in domestic fireplaces

H1.1 - framing to external wall clad with masonary

H1.2 - enclosed subfloor framing

H3.1 - exterior plywood- painted

H3.2 - exposed subfloor - unpainted

H4 - exposed subfloor framing

H5 - veranda posts in the ground.

Day 6

Today we were continuaing with our joint and drawing boards in the workshop , after lunch break we were in the class room discussing the tools we used, the safety aspects for the machine, and i also learnt what 5x5 is.

These are the machines we were discussing and what safty aspects are:

Router

The router is a power tool used to rout out an area in the face of a piece of wood and the outside of the wood.
