Monday, end of year vocabulary

Match em up.

Put one from column A with its basic companion explanation in column B. There are more items in Column A than in B so there is no perfect match one for one. In cases of differing opinions think of me as Solomon.



Column A                  Column B

Rake                       notch in rafter

Cripple                    angle of slope

Header                     temporary load

Shake                      edge

Persuader                  chisels for cleaning mortises

Wing wall                  chisels for framing

Caliper                    cross section of timber frame

Swans                      mallet

Slicks                     distance measurer

Caisson                    horizontal beam

Girt                       retains soil

Bent                       piling support

Arris                      place where chords intersect

Truss                      short studs

Heel                       assembly of members to form a framework

Girder                     separation of wood along grain

Live load                  trunk of tree

Dead load

Bird�s mouth

Bole

Deadhead

Sorry for the appearance, it looked fine

when it was prepared. It transferred from Word nicely. Only in post did things change. My apologies.

Here is how to do it;-)

If you have some text that is formatted in columns or something that you want to post, here is how to do it.

There is a tag for preformatted text where the formatting is preserved.

The format is:

<pre>

Put your formatted text here

</pre>

Here is an example:



Column 1            Column2

Stuff in 1            stuff in 2

More stuff            more stuff

- - -

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

Answers for vocabulary. HNY 2006

Rake--angle of slope

Cripple--short studs

Header--No answer, as I was thinking of a curved or arched door or window as an exclusion. Dan was mostly correct (horizonal beam) so gets at least partial credit.

Shake--separation of wood along grain

Persuader--mallet

Wing wall--retains soil (usually on shores of bridge)

Caliper--distance measurer

Swans--chisels for cleaning mortises

Slick--chisels for timber framing

Caisson--piling supprot

Girt--horizonal beam (mosly used in timber framing)

Bent--cross section of timber frame

Arris--edge

Truss--assembly of members to form a framework

Heel--place where chords intersect (used mostly in circular roof construction)

Girder--no answer

Live load--temporary load often on roofs (snow, for example)

Dead load--no answer

Bole--trunk of tree (forestry)
