Woodworking Word Search
This woodworking word search holds the tools and joints of the wood shop: the lathe, the chisel and mallet, the dovetail, the mortise and tenon, boards of walnut and maple, a coat of shellac and the workbench where it all gets clamped down.
Good joinery holds without nails. A dovetail locks two boards with fan-shaped pins and tails that cannot pull apart in one direction, and joints like it appear on furniture from ancient Egyptian tombs. A mortise is a hole cut into one piece, the tenon is the tongue on the other that fits it, and a little glue or a wooden peg makes the joint last for centuries.
Some shop words are very specific. The kerf is the slot of wood a saw blade turns into sawdust, so a careful cut is planned on the waste side of the line. Shellac is made from a resin left on tree branches by the lac bug of India and Thailand, dissolved in alcohol and brushed on as a finish.
