Phase/Duration Learners Activities Resources
PHASE 1: Revise with learners to review their understanding in the
STARTER previous lesson.
Share performance indicators with learners.
PHASE 2: NEW Revise with learners on the different types of cutting and Pictures and
LEARNING shaping tools in the wood and metal workshop. charts of food
Hand saws: Hand saws are used for cutting wood and metal by hand.
There are different types of hand saws available, such as crosscut saws, rip
saws, and hacksaws, each designed for specific types of cuts.
Power saws: Power saws are motorized cutting tools used for cutting wood
and metal. Examples include circular saws, jigsaws, and band saws.
Chisels: Chisels are cutting tools with a sharpened edge used for shaping
and carving wood and metal. They come in different shapes and sizes to
create various cuts and shapes.
Planes: Planes are tools used for shaping and smoothing wood. They are
used to remove small amounts of wood to achieve a flat, even surface.
Files: Files are cutting tools used to shape and smooth metal. They come in
different shapes and sizes to create various cuts and shapes.
Grinders: Grinders are power tools used for shaping and smoothing metal.
They use an abrasive wheel to remove excess metal and create a smooth
surface.
Welding torches: Welding torches are used to heat and melt metal to join
two pieces together. They are commonly used in metal fabrication.
Discuss how to care for and maintain cutting and shaping
tools and equipment used in the wood and metal workshop.
Store the tools in a dry and clean place to prevent rust, moisture, or
damage.
After use, wipe the tools with a clean cloth to remove any dirt or
debris.
Keep the tools organized and in their designated places to prevent
them from getting lost or damaged.
Avoid dropping or banging the tools as they may become damaged
or lose their accuracy.
Sharpen and clean cutting tools such as scissors and rotary cutters
regularly to maintain their sharpness and prevent snagging fabric .
Lubricate any moving parts of the tools such as the measuring tape,
seam gauge, or ruler to keep them moving smoothly.
Replace any broken or damaged tools immediately to avoid any
mishaps during sewing projects.
