This section is from the book "Scientific Sloyd", by Anna Molander. Also available from Amazon: Scientific sloyd.
Here some parts of the joinery are executed by means of several kinds of wood construction, such as mortise- and tenon-joints, halving and dovetailing. As the chisel is a very dangerous tool for a child, it is suggested to substitute for it as far as possible the use of the auger bit, the key hole saw, the tenon saw, the flat file and the three-cornered file. The pupils continue their practice in sharpening the tools, and learn now to sharpen the chisels, the spoke shaves, the scrapers, the decorating planes, and the saws.
