How to Make Forms :



FORMS - a mold, frame, or block in or on which something is shaped.


* We have a two form works design ; the longhitudinal and latitudinal.


Longhitudinal - is the timber ( stud ) horizontal or parallel to the plywood.




Latitudinal - It is a wooden horizontal and serves to support the plywood does not lose the form of a sheeting.



Materials and Tools for Making Form works





Plywood -
is a sheet material manufactured from thin layers or "plies" of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another.


Lumber - timber sawed or split into planks, boards, etc .



Hammer - A hammer is a tool or device that delivers a blow to an object. Most hammers are hand tools used to drive nails, fit parts, forge metal, and break apart objects. Hammers vary in shape, size, and structure, depending on their purposes.



Nails - Formerly made of bronze or wrought iron, today's nails are typically made of steel, often dipped or coated to prevent corrosion in harsh conditions or improve adhesion.



Cross-cut-saw - a saw for cutting wood perpendicular to the grain.
Pull-push-rule - Steel tape (tape measure, push – pull steel tape, flexible rule, retractable steel tape measure, flex tapes) The steel tape measure is an extendable steel strip coiled into a container. The tape is spring loaded.
Steel Square - is a tool that carpenters use. They use many tools to lay out a "square" or right-angle, many of which are made of steel, but the title steel square refers to a specific long-armed square that has additional uses for measurement, especially of angles, as well as simple right-angles.
Plumb Bob - a bob of lead or other heavy material forming the weight of a plumb line.
Bar Clamp - clamp having two jaws attached to a bar, one fixed and the other adjustable by means of a screw mechanism.
Plain - is a tool for shaping wood. When powered by electricity, the tool may be called a planer. Planes are used to flatten, reduce the thickness of, and impart a smooth surface to a rough piece of lumber or timber.

G.I. Wire # 16 - Are used to carry electricity and telecommunications signals and to bear mechanical loads. Wires also refer to a bundle of such strands (e.g. 'multi-stranded wires), although they are more correctly termed as cables.






Coconut timber is a hardwood-substitute fromcoconut palm trees. It is referred to in the Philippines as Coconut Lumber, or Coco Lumber, and elsewhere additionally as Cocowood. It is a newtimber resource that comes from plantation crops and offers an alternative to rainforest timber.
