What is the sleepers?
The sleepers are a hand tool that is a type of saw for a bow, with a blade located in a metal frame. Fret Saw is a more modern version of a well -known bow that is often used for harsh work. It has a characteristic deep frame that allows work further from the edge. The Fret Saw blade is usually shorter than a similar saw and contains a thinner blade. It is therefore capable of finer work.
Frets are usually used to create curved cuts in things that are made of wood. He takes his name from his tool when creating a sleeper, complex geometric designs, which, among other things, decorate furniture and tools. The decorative back of the wooden chair is an example of a sleepers, although the word also applies to metal patterns. Fret set is similar to a coping saw, so -called for its use in creating joints for forming.
The ferret blade can be removed at one end to make the sleepers inside a piece of wood. After the surveillanceThe desired design is bored or throws a hole in a piece of wood. The unconnected end of the blade is then inserted through the initial opening, the blade is connected to the frame and the blade can be released, then rotated or tilted for swelling sharply on the cuts. Jig support is often used for sleepers. Jig holds wood and allows it to rotate, making it easier to cut.
The saw is also useful in cutting the joints in forming. The pressing to be cut is located at the right angle to the corresponding piece and the profile is marked on a piece to be cut. The saw then cuts off the outline. This is a useful way of mounting in corners that are not entirely square and where the Miter joint may not be useful.
As with other hands tools, it may be difficult to get good results with the sleepers saw. Exercise with templates or scrap of wood is likely to increase one -track over time. Curved shapes will also benefit from thorough preparation, including good design and model. After the proposal is created oro selected, should be drawn first on paper, then on wood before it is cut according to the desired plan. Geometric aids such as a compass are useful in creating designs.
