- Hi, I'm Miss Penny, and these are the Kid Vision Kids
and we're here today to find out about working with wood.
- My name is Ariel, Ariel Rivera.
Thank you for coming to OP Yacht Services.
We're really happy that you're here
and we're gonna try to show you everything that we know.
- Terrific, let's go. - Let's do it.

- Wow, this is an awesome shop,
but when we walk into this shop
the first thing we see is a lot of big machines.
So it would be great if we learned the names of the machines
and what they were actually used for.
But before we do that, safety first,
and that's why you have on your goggles.
What are they protecting?
- The eyes.
- The other safety thing we have are earplugs.
Why would you wear earplugs?
- 'Cause of the loudness.
- Because of the loudness.
- Right behind you is a table saw.
I can say that it's probably the most important tool
in the shop because that one we use for trimming down,
cutting boards for useful sizes.
- So what's the name of that machine?
- [Children] Table saw. - [Miss Penny] Good job.
- [Ariel] The next machine that we're gonna talk about
is the wood planer.
- [Miss Penny] It makes it the right thickness, correct?
- [Ariel] This one is the one that we use
to bring down the wood to the exact dimensions.
- Okay, do you remember what the name of that was?
- [Children] Wood planer. - [Miss Penny] Good job.
- The next machine is the miter saw.
It's the one that we use to do angle cuts on the wood,
or some when you have to build a frame
they have to be square, 45 degrees,
that's the machine that we use to give it that nice cut
that put them together really tight.
And I know the machine very, very important
in this industry is the band saw.
It's called band saw because the saw
is all the way down and around.
And then that's the one that we use to do cuts
in different shapes.
- Any other machines we have?
- Oh yes, belt sander, giving the nice finish in the wood.
- [Miss Penny] So a belt sander makes the wood
that you're working with nice and smooth.
It's called a... - Belt sander.
- And what other machines do we have?
- [Ariel] Drill press, it's a standard drill
and it's the one that you use to open holes.

- And now we're gonna talk about the hand tools
to work with wood.
Take out your hammer.
Let's take out your flathead screwdriver.
It has a flat head, there you go.
This is a called a Phillips-Head screwdriver.
It's more round and it has some edges in it.
Put out your Phillips-Head screwdriver.
Another thing a good carpenter needs is a tape measure.
Put out your tape measure.
You need a pencil to mark what you're doing.
And the last thing we have is this sandpaper,
'cause you always want to make sure that your wood piece
is nice and smooth.
So put that down.
So who can name a tool that goes in the tool box?
- Flathead.
- A flathead, everyone put your flathead back.
- The measuring tape.
- Measuring tape, put your measuring tape back.
- Hammer.
- A hammer, put your hammers back.
- The pencil.
- The pencil, put the pencil back.
What's the last piece of equipment (mumbling)
- Sandpaper.
- Sandpaper, and we are ready to work with our wood.
Okay, put on your goggles.
- You have the wood block,
let's gonna do the flat one first.
Put it on, and you put it on top, the flat screwdriver.
Turn it to the right.
- Turn it to the right and that screws it in.
You have to put pressure.
Now let's take the other screw,
which is the Phillips-Head screwdriver,
and if you look at the screw itself
it has an X in it.
- Put your hand to hold them up,
and then do the first round by hand.
- [Miss Penny] You're doing a great job.
- [Ariel] Wow, looks really good.
- All right, so now let's try a hammer and nails.
- You notice that this corner right here,
this where you put it, and hold it by hand.
You have to hold it with your hand.
- [Miss Penny] That's why you have gloves on.
- Then you do that little first,
and then you move your hand away.
(hammering)
- Are you ready, I'll get you started.
Do you feel good about the tools?
- Yeah.
- All right, thumbs up, good job.

It's important to learn about measuring
because when you're creating or building something
you need to know its proper measurements
so you can build it correctly.
The first thing about measuring is about the measuring tape.
- [Ariel] You need to know how to read it.
All those numbers is the one that we're gonna have to be
looking at when we measure the wood
to know exactly the width, thickness,
and the length of the wood.
That's very important when you're gonna do any work,
because then that way you know how much wood
you are gonna need.
First, this one, from side to side.
- That's how wide, the width is how wide.
- Is three and...
- A half.
- Right, three and a half.
- How thick is it?
The thickness comes next.
- That's the number one,
and the next one, which one is, half.
- Half, so it's one and a half.
- Here, it's one and a half, okay.
- So now we put an X, right?
- [Ariel] You put an X, that means by.
- The next measurement we take is the length.
How long is it?
And Dean it's your turn.
Are you ready to measure it? - Yeah.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
How long is it?
- Seven. - Seven inches.
So we'll put by seven.
So the piece of wood that we're doing our project in
is three and a half inches wide,
one and a half inches thick, and seven inches long.
I think we're ready to make our project.

We're going to make a board game.
Why do you think we call it a board game?
- Because it's made out of wood.
- Right, because it's made out of wood
and wood is a board.
And so how we're gonna play this game,
it's kind of a dot-to-dot game.
We're gonna use, what kind of screwdriver is this?
- [Child] A flathead.
- And Phillips-Head.
And we have flathead and Phillips-Head screws,
and we have already pre-drilled holes in,
and you're gonna work all over your board
and put all of your flathead and Phillips-Head screws in,
and then you're gonna connect them using rubber bands.
Are you ready to play? - [Children] Yes.
- Ready, set, start.
(upbeat music)
