Chapter 2: Top Skills 1: Woodworking
Synopsis
Woodworking can be approached as a hobby or as a profession; either way, working with wood has been an exercise almost everyone has participated in at some point in their lives. With the correct tools and some knowledge, woodworking can be a very fulfilling experience.
Woodworking
Most of the tools that are used for woodworking are sharp and potentially dangerous, therefore care needs to be exercised whenever such tools are being handled. Taking the appropriate precautions will limit the chances of injury. Experienced woodworkers will be able to difference between the various types and qualities of wood and also their most suitable uses. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of certain woods is helpful to ensure the appropriate choices are made for the particular job at hand.
Having a suitable amount of space to work with is also another point to consider, as limited space will eventually contribute to mistakes and injury occurring frequently. There should be adequate space for the relevant tools to be laid out for use and also space for the assembling of units that may be rather big and bulky. Without such space allowances, getting the job done well will be a challenge which could contribute to a lot of stress.
When it comes to tackling joints for woodworking, the use of nails, screws and other mechanical fasteners, may not be always necessary. In woodwork exercises there are a lot of other types of joineries that can be applied and such methods produce equal quality work.
Woodwork does not always mean working with wood to produce pieces such as furniture, cabinets, frames and other more conventional items. It can also be a form of wood turning which would involve the designing and making of items such as bowls, decorative pots, pens and decorational art effects.
Chapter 3: Top Skills 2: Plumbing
Synopsis
Plumbing can almost always be a rather complicated and difficult task to tackle. Therefore, it may be a better option to hire a professional to get the job done correctly and to ensure a suitably lasting effect.
Plumbing
The expertise of a handyman, when it comes to handling plumbing jobs, includes fixing water leaks in kitchens, bathrooms and any other areas where water is the cause of the problem. For a seemingly simple task like changing a faucet, especially if the faucet chosen is a fancy and more decorative styled piece, hiring a plumber to install the unit maybe better than actually trying to tackle the task without any expert knowledge. In almost all instances, what may seem like a simple and straight forward task to the layman, is actually a rather complicated plumbing issue that would be best handled by a professional handyman with plumbing expertise. This is also the most cost effective and timely way of handling any plumbing problem.
Most basic plumbing tool kits would include the following:
• Plunger – this tool should be able to fix most minor blockages without much fuss. It can be used in bathrooms, toilets and kitchens where the blockage is not extensive or serious.
• Hand auger – this tool is usually used when the plunger is not able to deal with the blockage adequately. The design of this tool enables it to be stuffed down into pipes and drains, to unclog any blockages.
• Wrench set – these tools help to deal with leaks and loose pipes and the selection should include a basin wrench, a pipe wrench and an adjustable wrench.
• Tongue and groove pliers – these tools are also known by their brand, which is Channelocks. This tool is used to tighten, loosen, grab, twist or hold anything related to a plumbing problem.
Chapter 4: Top Skills 3: Basic Electronics
Synopsis
With a little bit of trained knowledge, it is not that difficult to understand the basics of electronics and their connective uses. Having a basic knowledge of how circuitry boards work will help you to have a better picture of the overall electronics experience. All electronics people should know the various connotations involved in this line, before actually attempting to handle any electric related problems.
Basic Electronics
The following are some elements connected to the electronics theme:
• There are basically two types of electrical signals, which are AC and DC. With the DC style, the electricity flows in one direction between the power and the ground where there is always a positive source of voltage and ground source of voltage. The electricity is defined as having a voltage and a current rating which are then depicted as Amps.
• The circuit is a complete and closed path through which the electric current flows between power and ground, thus an open circuit would work in the opposite way of where the flow of electricity is broken.
• The resistance feature is an important part of the circuitry as it ensures the electrical flow is being channeled and used, otherwise a short circuit will occur. Short circuits occurring are bad as they can cause severe damage to the electrical item and also cause fires and explosions. Therefore, ensuring the electrical flow is never wired directly to the ground is very important.
• Understanding and choosing between series and parallel is essential in deciding its appropriateness for the intended electoral item.
• Resistors are in place to help reduce and balance the flow of electricity. They come with different wattage ratings, which are low voltage DC circuits of ¼ watt resistors.
• Capacitors are components that store the electricity and then discharge it into the circuit when there is a disturbance which results in a drop in electricity.
• Diodes are components which are polarized and they only allow electrical current flows in one direction. This is useful when there is a need to check for a flow in the wrong direction.
