 * Hand Tool Project**
 * Objectives**
 * **To learn how to use layout tools**
 * **To learn how to accurately drill wood using a cordless drill and drill bits**
 * **To learn how to install carriage bolt hardware**
 * **To learn how to radius wood using a block plane**
 * **To learn how to install handrail hardware**
 * Procedure**
 * 1) **From the top right of your 2x10 use a combination square and draw a line at 45 degrees out of the corner**
 * 2) **Measure along the line from the corner and make a mark at 2” intervals. Make 4 marks along the line**
 * 3) **Use a cordless drill and drill 4 holes on the marks made in step 2. The first hole (closest to the corner) will be a 3/8” dia., The 2nd will be 1 1/8” dia. ,the third, 1 ½” dia. and the 4th will be 2”dia. Drill the holes to a depth of ½”.**
 * 4) **Use a compass and draw a 4” dia. circle in the top left and bottom right corners of the wood block. Measure 2” from the left and 2” down to the center of the circle. Measure 2” in from the right and 2” up for the center of the bottom right circle.**
 * 5) **At the bottom left corner measure up 3” then use a combination square and make a line at 45degrees, remove this corner with a hand saw.**
 * 6) **Bore a 7/8” hole ½” deep in the center of the two 4” circles. Drill through the center of the 7/8” hole with a 5/16” bit. Install a carriage bolt, washer and nut as the last step !!**
 * 7) **Turn the piece over have the corner you cut off be located at the top left**
 * 8) **Using a straight edge draw a line from the bottom left to the top right.**
 * 9) **Set your combination square to 3 ½”. Along the left and right side mark the end of the square where it bisects the diagonal line from step 8. This location will be the top left hole of the two hand rail brackets.**
 * 10) **Use a #2 Philips screwdriver and install hand rail bracket using 3 1 ¼” drywall screws**
 * 11) **Using a 1 ½” x 2” x 12” piece of wood block plans 2 sides to create a round hand rail sand smooth with sand paper**
 * 12) **Install Rail bracket clip to hand rail using 2 1 ¼” screws.**
 * 13) **At bottom right make a line parallel to the bottom 1” up. Make 3 bisecting marks at (Right to Left) @ 1”, 2 ½” and 4” Install a 4d, 6d and 5d nail in these locations.**
