Question 1: How does cutting with the grain affect the quality of the finished surface in woodworking?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Cutting along the grain reduces tear-out and provides a smoother finish

Cutting against the grain makes the wood easier to handle, but the finish is uneven

Cutting with the grain makes the cut surface rougher and more prone to damage

Cutting against the grain provides a smooth finish but is harder to control

Question 2: When cutting a piece of plywood, what should be used to minimize splintering on the surface?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Duct tape on the cut line

A backer board

Fine-toothed saw blade

Standard saw blade

Question 3: How does saw blade type affect the quality of a cut in wood?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The right blade type (e.g., fine-tooth for smooth cuts, coarse-tooth for fast cuts) impacts the finish of the cut

Saw blade types do not affect the speed of the cut, only the quality

Saw blades are interchangeable for all materials and do not affect the cut quality

Only fine-tooth blades should be used for all types of cuts, regardless of material

Question 4: What is the proper method for measuring and cutting "decking boards" to fit around corners?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The corners of decking are irrelevant unless the decking is made of specialized material

Measure the space between each joist and cut the decking boards at the correct length, adjusting for any overhang

Simply cut all boards to the same length without measuring for corners

Decking boards do not need to be measured precisely; cutting them by eye is sufficient

Question 5: 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 6: What does the scale on a blueprint typically represent in a carpentry project?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It represents material costs associated with the project

It shows the placement of doors and windows, without any reference to size

It indicates the ratio of the dimensions on the blueprint to the actual dimensions of the structure

It shows the color coding of different materials used
