Carpentry is probably one of the oldest trades around. The role of the carpenter is basically to construct what is termed the 'first fix' in construction. 'First fix' would be roofs floors and frames. The word carpenter comes from the latin word "to carry" so you could consider the role of the carpenter as providing the structural timbers for a building, e.g. those which carry loads.

How much income does a Carpenter make?

Asked by Wiki User

Well that depends on experience, and level of work performed. But in 2009, a Carpenter's helper should make anywhere between $9.50/hr to $13.00/hr. Obviously, the higher pay comes with more responsibilities, such as framing, drywall, finishing, etc. And the term carpenter does not mearly suggest wood and framing. Today's carpenter's are skilled in most building procedures. However, a Master carpenter, or Craftsman, suggest woodworking as the predominant trait of the profession

What does a carpenter need to build a house?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I assume that you mean the 'framing' of a house, and the cladding of the walls. Many materials are 'good', as you say. The choice depends upon cost and availability, and aesthetics. It is mainly about personal choice and I believe that all forms of 'cladding' materials used in my country (Australia) are equally 'good'. In Australia, it is very unwise to make houses with 'double brick' walls because our clay soils are very unstable in this country. Early settlers copied the English method of making double brick walls, when they came to this country. They soon found that the walls tended to crack very badly and easily after a short time. The weight of the roof pushing down on these walls was the major problem . A roof structure is very heavy. That is the reason why in Australia, most houses have single brick walls which do not carry the roof weight. They are called 'brick veneer' construction, and the weight of the tiled roof is carried by the timber wall frames. This type of construction has proved to be very reliable with no cracking of the brick wall providing the concrete foundation is built to correct regulations.

Different Types Of Hand Tools And Their Uses. 6JAN

The screwdriver is easy for removing screws which happen to have either been put in the wrong place or invest at a certain angle. More so, although this is the hand tool, it requires minimal strength as may six turns will grab the screw out depending on its size.

Power tools are generally powered by electricity, petrol, hydraulics and so with. They make tools like saws work quicker in comparison to the strain caused by side. A cleaner cut with motored powered saws allow greater accuracy. There are several variants of powered saws and these include the petrol chainsaw, jigsaws and circular saws. Usually power saws are much simpler and intricate in terms of where you want to help cut.

For any workshop one must always have a good utility drill. The majority of these drills are multipurpose and usually the greater the drill the better it is. There is a speed control feature letting you use the drill at your own pace. There are many electric drills including electric rotary drills, cord-free drills, angle drills together with SDS drills. It is one of the most prominent DIY tools out there and with a wide variety available for different purposes.

Sanders are important power tools. Without the need of sanders, wood would not be smooth along with the sharp edges would remain. This creates a newly smooth wooden surface. The several types of sanders include belt sanders, dvd sanders and drum sanders.

These are just some of the power and hand tools which were essential for any working area. There are several modifications of hand tools that could be used as power equipment. The key example is a saw, but this can be a matter of choice. People may decide to stick to the hand tool version for convenience or depending on the difficulty of the job being done. Therefore, within this sense, both hand tools together with power tools work in hand.

A tool are found for things such since woodworking and garden along with a variety of power tools. Hands tools have been used for thousands of years and get evolved over time into more useful items that helps get a certain job done.

Woodworking is frequently done with specialized items which include planes and things of this type together with standard items such as a hammer and saw. Search for solid construction and a reliable size striking area. This saves you from being required to carry around any some other tools when you're doing your repairs.

Next on the list of must have drywall hand tools can be a container for your magnetic. After all, it's a lot easier working out on the mud pan than a little plastic container or a 5 gallon bucket involving drywall mud. You can purchase these in either stainless or plastic ranging in various sizes starting around 10 inches long. The only recommendation on these tools is to consider mud pans that have no interior seams. These can be a headache to clean.

Once you have your repair done now comes the most fun part of just about all and that's the sanding. ACCEPTABLE, maybe some of you are cringing a bit at that as it really can be quite messy. power tools

Where are the carpenters in Gerudo fortress?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Gerudo Fortress:

After the story sequence get out on the field and summon Epona with Epona's Song. Ride to the West and enter the Gerudo Valley area. If you speed her up enough Epona can jump over the broken bridge in the beginning of this area. If you talk to the man there (he's the boss of the carpenters, the guy you give the Poacher's Saw to in Adult Link's Trading Sequence in section 4), he will explain that his carpenters are in the fortress. Continue on to the fortress right ahead. Let one of the guards see you and you'll be thrown in a cell. Now look up and notice the overhang of your window. Hookshot to it. Then fall down to ground level and go through the door right next to you. Follow the corridor and you'll come to a cell. Talk to the guy in the cell (the first carpenter) and you'll be attacked from behind by a Gerudo guard. I personally just Z-targeted and blocked her first attack and then wailed on her by holding forward and pushing B using Big Goron's sword. Also shooting her with arrows works well. There's probably plenty of good techniques for this fight. You have to watch out though because one of the attacks she has will knock you down and you'll end up back in your cell.

Once she's gone she'll drop a key so use it to free the first carpenter. Now continue on past the cell and go outside again. Turn left and go in the door. Turn right in at the corner of this hallway and you'll see the head of a guard poking out over a box. Shoot it with an arrow. Walk to where she was and turn to look down the next hall. From there shoot down the two guards in the next room. Go in the room (there's a Big Fairy that can be summoned using Song of Storm near the stove) and go up the ramp on the far side to an exit. When you are outside again turn right and drop down and go through the door that's there. Now just stand in the doorway with an arrow cocked and in a few seconds a guard will walk by, so shoot her. Now go right, left, right and you'll be at the second carpenter's cell. Talk to him, fight another guard, and free him.

Go back out where you came in and drop down one level. Turn left, climb up some vines, and go through the door that's straight ahead of you (NOT the one to the left). This is the third carpenter's room. Same process. Once he's rescued, go back out the door you came in. Shoot the three guards that are wandering around outside and drop down to ground level. Turn left and go into the door furthest left, the one right before the Gerudo in white clothes (Don't worry about her, she's not a guard she just lets you into the Training Center later.) Follow this hall down to the fourth and final carpenter and go through the same process to free him. Now that he's free a Gerudo will talk to you and since you are so skilled, you will get a membership card that lets you wander around the fortress all you want and participate in the activities it has to offer. Also, the bridge will now be fixed. Explore the fortress and try the various games and what not. Don't bother with the Training Ground because you can't get through it without the Silver Gauntlet.
