Workshop Safety Rules & Essential Woodwork Tools 🪚

### Welcome to the Virtual Technology Workshop! 🥽 Safety is the first and most critical law of technology! Before touching any tool: * **Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)**: Goggles for eye protection, heavy boots to protect toes, and a fitted apron. * **Never run or horseplay in the workshop.** * **Always clamp wood firmly in a workbench vice before sawing or chiseling.** Essential Woodworking Hand Tools: 1. **Try-Square**: Used for marking and testing right angles ($90^\circ$) on timber edges. 2. **Jack Plane**: Used for smoothing rough timber surfaces and reducing wood thickness. 3. **Tenon Saw**: A fine-toothed saw with a brass or steel spine for precise joinery cuts! 4. **Steel Tape & Steel Rule**: For millimeter-accurate dimensional marking.
