Preview Questions Carpenter | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the key advantage of using a mortise and tenon joint in woodworking?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It can be adjusted easily after construction

It is strong and resistant to movement

It provides a large surface area for glue

It is quick to assemble

Question 2: What technique should be used to cut "angled rafters" for roof framing with high precision?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Angled rafters should be cut by hand for flexibility

Use a framing square or a rafter angle square to ensure accurate angles for the rafters

Just eyeball the cut and adjust it after the rafters are in place

Use a circular saw without angle adjustment for rough cuts

Question 3: In finishing, what is the purpose of sanding between coats of varnish or polyurethane?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To remove any discoloration from the wood

To ensure that the final coat adheres properly

To smooth out rough spots and remove dust

To increase the gloss level of the finish

Question 4: When using a circular saw for cutting large sheets of plywood, how can a carpenter ensure a straight, accurate cut?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Marking the cut line with a pencil and cutting without measuring

Cutting freehand without using any guide, relying on visual alignment

Using a saw blade that is too fine for cutting thick plywood

Using a guide rail or straight edge to align the saw and control the cut

Question 5: How does pocket hole joinery contribute to structural strength in furniture construction?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It uses glue only, with no reinforcement from mechanical fasteners

It allows for strong, hidden connections by drilling holes at an angle, ensuring a tight bond without visible fasteners

It creates visible screw heads that reduce the aesthetic appeal

It relies solely on nails to hold the pieces together, reducing strength

Question 6: How do you interpret "beam schedules" in blueprints for structural framing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Beam schedules only specify aesthetic finishes for the beams

Beam schedules are only relevant for exterior beams, not interior framing

Beam schedules provide the size, material, and placement of beams, which are crucial for load-bearing and structural integrity

Beam schedules are irrelevant unless a beam is damaged
