Contained within this course is instruction on construction prints, building materials, hand tools, and power machinery. You will learn to read, understand, and interpret construction prints (also called working drawings); to identify, use, and requisition building materials; and to care for and use hand tools and power machinery. Lesson 1: Construction Prints and Building Materials * Part A: Construction Prints for Buildings * Part B: Bill of Materials (BOMs) * Part C: Building Materials * Part A: Care and Use of Hand Tools * Part B: Care and Use of Power Machinery Carpentry is the art or science of measuring, cutting, fitting, and assembling wood and other materials to construct buildings or other structures. Many people associate carpenters with wood and other building materials and tools. They assume carpenters build only homes and other relatively small structures. Of course, this is not true. Carpenters work not only with wood but also with metals, plastic, and other synthetic materials. The carpentry trade includes skills required to construct buildings, bridges, docks, and wharf. Work must be accomplished in a manner consistent with environmental laws and regulations. The Carpentry II subcourse, (Carpentry/Masonry Specialist, Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 51B, Skill Levels 1 and 2), will provide you with enough knowledge to construct floor systems, stairs, wall systems (including the installation of windows and door), and roof systems of wooden structures. This subcourse is presented in three lessons. At the end of these lessons, you will be able to take a set of construction drawings and construct a wood-frame building. Lesson 2: Wall-System and Stairway Construction * Part C: Roof-Covering Material APPENDIX B: Recommended Reading List Woodworking plays an important role in our industrial world. Before the introduction of power-driven machinery, the carpenter did all of his shaping and assembling by hand. Today, in our era of machine production, specialized carpentry has assumed more important roles than ever before. In spite of all the new creations of our inventors and scientists, there is still a constant demand for specialized carpenters in the carpentry field. Whether you intend to use your woodworking skills as a career or as a hobby, you will experience the satisfaction of making things out of wood. The urge and desire to build never leaves us. In fact, as we grow older the desire grows stronger. The previous memorandums of this course were devoted to the fundamental building procedures for exterior and interior construction and carpentry tools and equipment. This volume will acquaint you with cabinetwork, prefabricated buildings, heavy timber construction, and sawmill operation. * Lesson 2: Prefabricated Buildings * Lesson 3: Heavy Timber Construction * Lesson 4: Sawmill Operation Purpose The objective of this course is to provide you with the fundamentals of planning and supervising the construction of frame structures which comprise the basic type of building in a theater of operations. It will also orient you in the fundamentals of construction print reading. You will learn about building layout procedures; framing details of substructures, superstructures, and roofs; kinds and properties of timber; and planning and estimating material and labor requirements for frame construction. Emphasis is on simplified theater-of-operations construction. However, some details of conventional construction are also included for use as a general guide and for use in rehabilitation and repair of existing structures. Lesson 1. Construction Print Reading - Building Layout and Substructures. Lesson 2. Superstructures - Framing Lesson 3. Roofing-Finishing Details Lesson 4. Materials Estimating Lesson 5.
