Evidence for Hand tools

 My evidence to support my Hand tools assessment booklet 

Cutting tools.

	Hack saw  Here is a photo of me using a 32 TPI hacksaw to cut out my pole to 90mm to be used as a push rod for my can crusher
	Metal file  I'm using a Flat file to file down a 20 by 4 bar to 90mm to be used as a cross brace for the base of my can crusher.
	Tin snips I'm using the tin snips to cut out the corners for my flat faceplate which is used for my can crusher

Assembly tools 

	Spanner or wrench In this image, I'm using a spanner to loosen the bolt so that I could be able to change and adjust the angle on the mill machine.
	Hammer In this image, I'm using a hammer to hit a centre punch to mark a centre point to drill a hole on my lever which is for my can crusher.
	Gripping tools In this image, I'm using a vice to hold my bar while I file my bar for my can crusher.

What have I learned?

I have learnt a whole variety of hand tools in the past few months and has helped me a lot and would come in handed in the future if I come around anything that's got to do with hand tools

What was the most difficult tool to use and why?

Using the tin snips was a bit difficult for me as it took a lot of pratice to get my work accurate and straight because before my cuts were off and not accurate and straight.

What did I enjoy?

I enjoyed learning how to use a different variety of tools in the workshop and also improving each time I use them and making my work look better and tidy.

What would I do differently next time?

Question for the future reference?

Would we be using these types of hand tools in workshops or in the future?
