Fig. 12.—Method of using the gauge. / \zVA& sww/c If you expect to do good work with tools you must see that they are well cared for. If tools are allowed to become rusty and dull and parts are lost good work can not be expected. Wipe the polished surfaces of tools with an oily cloth once a week, at least, and whenever the bright surface of a tool becomes wet wipe it dry and rub it well with the oily cloth. If rust accumulates, it can be removed by the use of powdered pumice stone. A place must be provided in which to keep the tools when they are not in use, otherwise they may be lost or broken. Drawers in the work bench, or cupboards placed on the wall where they will be easily accessible, are convenient places for hold- ing tools. The cutting edges of tools must be kept sharp; good work can not be done with a dull tool. If chisels or plane irons become very dull, they are first sharpened on a grindstone or emery wheel, then dressed on an oilstone. They are ground at an angle of 25° and dressed on the oilstone at an angle of 30°, as shown in figure 14. If but slightly dull they may be rubbed up on the oilstone only. Hold them firmly on the grind- Fig. 13. -Brace and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
