Sharpening of Drawing Pencils to conical point and knife edge
A well sharpened pencil is very essential to technical drawing. Pencils for lettering and freehand sketching should be sharpened to a ‘conical point’ while those for geometrical or engineering drawing should be sharpened to a ‘chisel point’.
All horizontal lines are drawn with the aid of tee-square. The set-square is used sitting squarely on the tee-square to draw vertical lines.

EVALUATION
1. Briefly explain how set-square can be used to draw vertical lines.
2. Mention five drawing instruments.



LESSON 2
Using the tee and set squares for drawing Lines
This is a practical topic. The teacher should DEMONSTRATE this as much as possible in class for the students
The various uses of setsquares are given below:
Image

Types and Uses of Lines in Technical Drawing

TYPES OF LINES ...........................THEIR USES
Thick continuous line ..................For visible outlines and edges.
Thin continuous line ..................For dimension lines, projection lines and construction lines.
Thin long chain line ..................For cutting and viewing planes as centre lines and path lines for indicating movement
Thick continuous wavy line................. For short break lines and boundary lines.
Thin continuous wavy line ..................For limits of partial views.
Thin ruled line with short zig-zags ....................For long break lines.
Arrow heads ...................Used at the end of dimension lines
Dotted straight line ....................For hidden outlines and edges

Boarder lines are also called margins. A space of about 10-15mm is left all around the drawing paper and is demarcated with straight lines. These drawing paper are called border lines. They beautify the drawing paper and protect the drawing inside.


Positioning and drawing the title block

Title Block: It gives necessary information about the drawing such as name of designer, school, class, date, scale etc. The title block is usually at the bottom right-hand corner of the drawing paper.

Writing (freehand) legible letters and numerals
Lettering is the art of writing of letters (alphabets) and numbers (figures) in bold form or lower case form on drawing.
The most important point is that the characters of the lettering must be uniform, legible, equally spaced and well proportioned. Lettering can be done either by free hand or with an instrument. The two styles of lettering are vertical or inclined styles.

LESSON 3
TOPIC: Woodwork Handtools: Measuring and marking out tools
SUB-TOPIC:
(i) Measuring tools
(ii) Setting and marking out tools

Measuring tools
Measuring is one of the activities carried out on wood or metal in the workshop to get the accurate size of the work done. Examples of measuring tools are metric rule, inside calipers, outside calipers, pairs of dividers etc. Metal or wood has to be measured into the required lengths relevant to the expected construction before cutting and construction can be done.

Metric Rule – Is the simplest measuring tool in a woodwork workshop. It is made of metal, wooden, plastic or coiled tape rule.
Image

Calipers are measuring instruments that are used to measure the diameters of circular shapes. There are three types of calipers.
(i) Inside caliper is used for measuring the diameter of the inner parts of a circular object.
(ii) Outside caliper is used to measure the diameter of a cylindrical bar.
(iii) Odd-leg caliper is used to measure the centre lines of round bars. This caliper is also called Jenny’s Caliper.
(iv) Divider is similar to the actual place where it is needed.
Image

Image

Image


Setting and Marking out tools – are try-square, sliding bevel, mitre rule, square, compass etc.
The next operation after measurements in woodwork or metalwork is marking out of the beginning and end of such measured lengths.
1. Try Square – It is used to mark lines that form a right angle. It is used to test the square-ness of an edge.
Image

2. Sliding bevel – It is used for duplicating angles and for setting out bevels. The lines of such angles should not be 450
Image Image

3. Mitre square – The mitre square is also used to mark angles, particularly angle 450
Image

4. Compass – It is used to mark the arcs of a circle.

LESSON 6
TOPIC: Freehand Sketching
SUB-TOPICS: (i) Definition or meaning
(ii) Techniques of Sketching


Definition or meaning
Freehand sketching is one of the quickest methods by which the shape of an object can be communicated to others without using any drawing instrument except a pen or a pencil. Examples of free hand sketches are:

Freehand sketching is of advantage because a good sketch reduces the amount of writing needed to describe an object.

Image

Image

EVALUATION
What is freehand sketching?
Name the instruments used in Freehand Sketching.





LESSON 7
Technique of Sketching
1. Sketching a Straight line: A straight line is defined as the shortest distance between two points. We can use freehand to draw a fairly straight line by the following procedures.
(i) Put a dash or dot far enough to the right-hand side of the paper.
(ii) Start to draw a line from the left-hand side to join the dash or dot with your eyes fixed on the point.

2. Sketching a curve: To draw a curve by freehand, it will be necessary to plot some points not too far from each other at different levels, like this --------- with the points in position attempt to draw curves by joining the dashes or dots.

3. Sketching a Circle: To draw circles, the easiest way is to draw lines which are equal in diameter to the circle in different directions. Each line must be as faint and straight as possible, each crossing one another at a central point. Now, join the points by little curves from the top of each line. Try to draw other circles by means of joining two large curves having half the size as radius and full size in diameter.

4. Sketching a Square Box: This can be sketched in an isometric or oblique view. Isometric views have the vertical height and the base lines included at 450 to the horizontal while the second base line is horizontal. Once it is decided which view to represent, the block is drawn by using a series of straight lines both vertical and horizontal, applying the techniques discussed earlier.

5. Sketching an Irregular Edge – Figures with irregular edges are best drawn by first sketching a regular or square block which can completely contain the object. The shape is then carefully shaped by using dotted lines joined to show the desired shape with appropriate curves.

LESSON 8
TOPIC: Scales and Scale Drawing
SUB-TOPICS:
i) Reading graduation on the meter rule
ii) Measuring and comparing given sizes

Reading graduation on the meter rule
Meter Rule is a flat measuring device used to measure the length, height or width of an object. It is normally made of wood, plastic or metal. The meter rule is graduated in millimeters (mm) or centimeters (cm).
10mm = 1cm
Many kinds of meter rule are graduated between 0cm and 100cm. The straight parallel bars on the meter rule show the readings.

Image

EVALUATION
The student should read the following points on the meter rule
(i) 54.5cm
(ii) 72.3cm
(iii) 38.7cm
(iv) 84.2cm




LESSON 9
Measuring and comparing given sizes
Measuring dimensions on the meter rule requires the following principles:
1) Do not take measurement directly with compass or dividers. Use the meter rule
2) Always place the meter rule along the line to be measured.
3) Always make a short dash at right angles to the meter rule during measurement
4) After setting off a dimension, always double-check your dimension to make sure that the distance is accurate
5) Small letters are used for the various units of measurement
6) For dimensions less than one, the decimal point comes after zero e.g. 0.25, 0.45, 0.85 etc
7) The units cm and mm are not written besides dimensions after measurement but a note is made on the drawing stating the unit of all the dimensions.
Image

EVALUATION

(ii) Materials for Scale Drawing
iii) Types of Scales used in Drawing

Scales and Scale Drawing
Scales drawing is different from ordinary drawing or sketching because it provides an accurate representation of the objects under consideration.
There are scales for reduction and for enlargement of the size of the object.
Materials for Scale Drawing
(i) Metric Rule: This has two flat straight edges. It is usually 30cm long.

(ii) Scale Rules: These have three straight edges and are triangular in shape. Each edge of the scale rule is graduated and each scale designation is marked on the rule.
Image

Image

EVALUATION
What is Scale Drawing?
Name two materials for Scale Drawing



LESSON 11
Scale Drawing (Types of Scales Used in Drawing)
Some objects are too big for the actual size to be contained on our drawing paper while some are too small for the parts to be clearly seen. We need to draw both of them to scale. Scale drawing is the drawing of a reduced size or an enlarged size of an object. Scale is usually given as a ratio and they are stated in the title block.

Types of Scales Used in Drawing
A scale is used to draw or to read the sale on a drawing.
(1) The full Scale/Size: In this case, an object is drawn to its size in all dimensions. Full size scale is 1:1

(2) Reduced Scale Drawing: The actual size of the object is reduced in proportion to the drawing. Reduced size is used when the object is too big. Reduced scale is used when the object is too big. Reduced scale ratios are 1:2; 1:5; 1:10; 1:100; 1:1000 etc.

(3) Enlarged Scale Drawing: This is used when the object to be drawn is too small to be clearly seen. Here, the normal size of the object is enlarged in proportion to the drawing. Enlarged scale ratios are 2:1; 10:1; 100:1; 500:1; 1000:1 etc. For example, 1000m:1mm means every 1000m on the drawing represents 1mm in actual size.

LESSON 14
TOPIC: Woodwork tools: Holding devices, cutting and paring tools.
SUB-TOPICS:
(i) Holding devices
(ii) Cutting and paring tools.

Holding devices
Woodworking holding devices are the tools used to hold work piece on the workbench. Woodworkers work on workbenches. It is on these benches that various woodwork constructions are carried out. The centre of the bench is usually lower than its two sides. This area is called a ‘well’ and its function is to accommodate the tools brought from the tool cupboard to the bench top during operations. The tools cannot fall or roll on to the floor or on anyone’s feet because this part is lower than other area of the bench.
The fittings are:
1. Bench vice: also called fitter’s vice. It is used to clamp or to hold jobs when the following operations are to be carried out on the bench, filling, bending, tapping, cutting, assembling parts etc.
Image

Other types of vice are:
Hand vice: used for holding work when performing operations such as drilling, riveting etc
Machine vice: It is fixed to the table of any machine tool.
Image

The Care of the Vice
a. Always keep the vice clean.
b. The thread or the screw inside the vice should be oiled regularly.
c. Do not use the vice as an anvil for hammering a job
d. Always use hand force only to tighten the vice for holding the work piece.

2. Bench Stop – There are many types of bench stops. Some are made of wood while some are made of metals. It is a small strip of wood fixed on top of the bench. It is used to prevent wood from slipping off the bench top during planning.

3. Bench Hook – This is used for holding jobs during cutting and chiseling on the bench. At the same time, it protects the bench top.
Image

4. The clamps
a. G-Clamp – This is a metal clamp used for clamping small jobs together. It is called a G-Clamp because of its shape which is in the form of letter ‘G’. The clamp is ideal for holding small pieces of wood together.

Image

b. F-Clamp – This is used like the G-Clamp. The clamp is in the form of letter ‘F’.

c. Sash-Clamp – it is a larger clamp used for holding and drawing woods tightly together when assembling or gluing work.
Image

Cutting and Paring tools
Saws and Planes are used in cutting and smoothing wood in the workshop respectively. Saws are tools used for cutting wood. There are two main groups of saws: bench saw and curve cutting saws.
Image

Curve cutting saws are:
Image

1. Coping Saw – This is used for cutting curve marked lines of wood. The blades can be adjusted to cut in any direction.

2. Fret Saw – This is used to cut curves in thin wood of 8mm thick or less. It is used to cut plywood.

3. Bow Saw – is used to cut along curve marked lines but the wood has to be 50mm thick.

4. Compass Saw – It is used for cutting large interior curves.

5. Keyhole – It is used mainly for internal curves where the bow saw cannot be used.

6. Rip Saw – Is used for cutting along the grain of the wood.

7. Tenon saw – Is used for cutting shoulders to tenon and recesses in board

8. Dovetail saw – Is also similar to tenon saw but it is much shorter. It is used for cutting fine joints and also light sawing.

9. Panel Saw – Is used for sawing thin timber across the wood.

10. Cross-cut saw – Is used for cutting across the grain.


Types and Uses of planes
Bench planes are used to obtain a good, smooth surface and to get the correct size required. Bench planes are:
Image

1. Jack Plane – It is used to smoothen or remove marks from timber. It is used to dress the surface and edges.

2. Trying plane – It is used to produce flat surface and perfectly straight edges.

3. Smoothing plane – It is used for clearing the surfaces and edges of timbers ready for assembling.
Image

4. Block plane – It is used for planing small work that is not easily accessible.

5. Spoke shave – This is an example of a curve cutting plane used to produce smooth curve surfaces and edges.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:
(1) Mention the steps in the processing of wood
(2) Explain the steps in processing of wood

CONTENT
The steps in processing of wood includes:-
Felling of tree
Wood conversion

Wood preservation

Felling of tree:- simply means cutting down of tree. Felling of trees is carried out with the use of chain saw.
Image

In Nigeria Felling of tree is carried out in two places:-
I. Forest Reserve area : a reserved place by government where trees are planted, to cut down tree in this place the timber contractor will pay an amount called OTV out turn volume it means that they will pay for the volume of trees they take.

II. Free Area:- this is an area outside the Forest area e.g. farmland. To cut down tree in this area the amount paid is called Tariff which is paid to the government to obtain permit to cut the tree.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11haSAA ... sp=sharing

Wood conversion:-is the process of splitting the log into marketable sizes.
Image

There are two methods of wood conversion
a. Plain sawn or tangential method or through and through methods
Image

LESSON 16
SPECIFIC TOPIC : Processing of Rubber
REFERENCE BK :Basic technology for JSS by Evans and Nation Building Basic Technology by E.K AJAYI.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE : At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:
(1) explain the two types of rubber
(2) state the uses of rubber

CONTENT : RUBBER
Rubber, natural or synthetic substance characterized by elasticity, water repellent, and electrical resistance. Natural rubber is obtained from the milky white fluid called latex, found in many plants; synthetic rubbers are produced from unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Two types of rubber
1. Natural rubber.
2. Synthetic

Natural rubber, also called caoutchouc, is an elastomer (an elastic hydrocarbon polymer) that was originally derived from latex, a milky produced by rubber tree. The plants would be "tapped", that is, an incision made into the bark of the tree and the latex sap collected and refined into a usable rubber. The purified form of natural rubber is that which can also be produced synthetically. Natural rubber is used extensively in many applications and products, Natural rubber is an elastomer and a thermoplastic. However, it should be noted that once the rubber is vulcanized, it will turn into a thermo set. Most rubber in everyday use is vulcanized to a point where it shares properties of both; i.e., if it is heated and cooled, it is degraded but not destroyed.

LESSON 27
TOPIC: Energy and Power.
SUB-TOPICS:
(i) Concept of energy and power.
(ii) Forms of energy
(ii) Relationship between energy and power.
Image

Concept of energy and power
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Energy is not something we can touch or see. We can only see its effect. The standard unit for measuring energy is the Joule (J). It can also be measured in KiloJoule (KJ)
The following are the properties of energy:
- Energy exists in different forms. E.g. heat, chemical, kinetic etc
- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
- Energy can be converted from one form to another.eg electrical to heat as in pressing iron, chemical to heat as in gas cooker, etc

The concept of power is a scientific concept which makes it possible to rate appliances, machines and engineering system as regards to how they use energy or perform work. The concept of power can be specified as:

Electrical power: relates to electrical and electronics appliances and equipment. It is the rate at which electrical energy is consumed. It is measure in Watt (W).
Mechanical power relates to machines and mechanical system. Basically

Power = Energy/Time taken

Energy is used in the following ways:

Forms of Energy
The major forms of energy are:
1. Heat energy: This is the form of energy which leads to the rise in temperature of a body. It can be obtained from burning fire wood, coal, gas, kerosene e.tc. The heat generated from these sources is used mostly in cooking.
Image

2. Mechanical energy: This is the energy of motion or potential for motion. Mechanical energy is used by falling objects, flying objects, flowing objects. There are two types of mechanical energy. These are :
Kinetic energy: energy possessed by a moving object. A hammer descending on a nail to drive it into wood has kinetic energy.
Potential energy: energy a body possesses because of its position. A body at a high position has higher potential energy than a body at a low position.
Image

3. Electrical energy: this is the energy we use to operate electrical appliances like fans, radio, television set, electric irons etc. we obtain electrical energy from Power Holding Company of Nigeria which supplies electrical energy to our homes. We also obtain electrical energy from generators we use in our homes, batteries.
Image

Image

4. Chemical energy: this is the energy stored in chemical substances like food, kerosene, wood, animal dung, sawdust, etc. The chemical energy in the food produces muscular energy which keeps us going.


5. Sound energy: sound energy stimulates our ear and vibrates the air. Sound is energy because it vibrates the air and the vibrated air strikes our ear, which hear the sound.

6. Light / Solar energy:
Light / solar energy comes from the sun, which releases the energy through its rays. Solar energy from the sun dries clothes after they are washed. Without solar energy, photosynthesis cannot occur, without photosynthesis plants cannot grow, and without plants, human beings cannot and animals will not have food. Solar energy generates heat.

7. Nuclear energy: this is used to generate electricity in a nuclear power generating station. However, nuclear energy is very dangerous if not controlled. It can cause harm to both animals and plants. Hence nuclear power stations are not common.

EVALUATION
a. Define the term energy.
b. State the three properties of energy
c. Mention six major forms of energy
d. When fuel is burnt, the form of energy released is ---------

Relationship between energy and power
Work: Work is done when energy is used. To say that work is done means that a force has been used to move something through a distance. The force applied determines the amount of work done and the distance moved in the direction of the force. Work (w) is then a product of force (f) and distance (d).
It can be expressed as W = F x d.
The unit of force is Newton (N) while distance is measured in Newton metres (Nm) which is also called joule (j).
Power: is the rate at which work is done.

Power (P) = work done / Time taken

Power is measured Watt (w)

Example: A man lifts a load of 50kg from the ground to a height of 6metres within a time lift of 5 seconds. Calculate (i) the work done by the man.
(ii) The mechanical power consumed in lifting the load. Assuming g = 9.8m/s

SOLUTION
(i) Work done = force x distance
= 50 x 9.8 x 6
=2940 joules
=2.94KJ

(ii) Mechanical Power = work done
Time taken
= Force x distance /Time

= 50 x 9.8 x6 / 5
= 588watt.

EVALUATION
1a. List four forms of energy.
b. What is energy?
2. What is power?
3. Mention four sources of energy

READING ASSIGNMENT – Students should read over all the topics that have been thought for the preparation of their examination.
