Nearly every woodworking project requires several steps to square a board. The following lesson will identify the four steps to square a board using machines. This lesson is excellent if the teacher is planning to have students make a skill block at the beginning of the year. The teacher will use lecture, modeling, and student guided practice techniques in order to teach this lesson. The following machines will be used: the jointer, the table saw, the power miter box, and/or the radial arm saw. At the end of the lesson, the student will be able to list, in order, the four steps to square a board and describe why they must be done in order.
