TOO
TOOLS, (from the Saxon tol,) implements used by arti-ficers in the reduction of any material to its intended form.
The tools employed by the different professions of arti-ficers in building are chiefly carpenters’tools, bricklayers’tools,joiners’ tools, masons’ tools, slaters’ tools, and tilers’ tools.
The bricklayers’ tools have already been described underthe article Bricklayer , it only remains here to give thereference to the Plate :
Figure 1,—The trowel.
Figure 2 .—The brick-axe.
Figure 3.—The square.
Figure 4 .—The bevel.
Figure 5 .—The jointing-rule.
Figure 6 .—The jointer.
Figure 7.—The hammer.
Figure 8.—The raker.
Figure 9.—The line-pins.
Figure 10.—The rammer.
Figure 11.—The pickaxe.
Figure 12.—The camber-slip.
Figure 13.—The banker, with the rubbing-stone placedupon it.
The carpenters’ tools having been more slightly noticed,we shall here show their uses as they are referred to in thePlate.
Figure 1.—The axe, used in chopping timber by a reci-procal circular motion, with the cutting edge of the axe in avertical plane.
Figure 2 .—The adze, used in chopping timber by a reci-procal motion in a given plane, which is generally that of avertical plane, but with the cutting edge describing a cylin-dric surface.
Figure 3.—The socket-chisel, used in mortising large tim-bers ; and as the mortise is commonly bored by the auger, thechisel is generally less than the breadth of the mortise.
Figure 4.—The mortise-gauge, with a double tooth, madetemporarily to serve only for the framing in hand.
Figure 5 .—The square, used in forming right angles, andtaking any kind of angles by observing the numbers on thesides of the square.
Figure 6.—The plumb-rule, used in setting work per-pendicular.
Figure 7.—The level, used in setting work horizontal bymeans of the double square.
Figure 8.—The auger, for boring pin-holes, or holes inmortises, for the more easy cutting with the socket-chisel.
Figure 9.—The hook-pin, used in drawboring, or in bring-ing the parts of a large frame together.
Figure 10.—The crow-bar, for moving large pieces oftimber.
