Can using a palm sander for too long damage anything in your hands?

I am not an expert, but I do work in healthcare, just so you know. With that said, any long term exposure to vibration can cause a number of problems. The type of problems and the extent of them is directly related to the type and length of exposure. Here are some things that are related to this type of vibration exposure:
ACGIH American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
hand-arm vibration-induced tingling and/or numbness in the fingers, also finger
vibration blanching, increased stiffness of the finger joints, loss of manipulation skills
syndrome and loss of blood circulation which can lead to gangrene and tissue necrosis.
Long story shortened, limit vibration exposure as much as possible.

Woodwork Tools

Tools for Woodwork

Wooden tools created by our primitive ancestors were located in Lehringen. Some spears were found in Germany. Wooden weapons for hunting and flint tools for carving show that primitive people were already knowledgeable on how to create materials that would help them obtain their needs.

There are two ancient civilizations that are often mentioned when woodworking is the subject matter. These are the Egyptians and the Chinese. This is because woodworking has been shown in their ancient sketches and drawings.

Also, a vast amount of Egyptian furniture like chairs, tables, beds, stools and chests have been encased in tombs. Preservation of such materials shows that the ancient Egyptian people were inclined to use wood. Coffins that were located in the tomb were also out of wood.

Egyptians used metal for their woodwork. Copper and bronze were the main tools for woodworking. These were turned into adzes, pull saws, axes, chisels and bow drills.

Ancient Egyptians were the first civilization to do veneering. They were also the first to use varnish, therefore resulting to what is now termed as “finishes.” They used native acacias and the wood from the sycamore and tamarisk trees.

As for the Chinese, wood working was said to have started when Lu Ban and his wife Lady Yun brought plane and chalkline to China. This was during the Spring and Autumn period. From them on, Lu Ban’s teachings were said to have been recoreded in the book “Lu Band Jing” or “Manuscript of Lu Ban.”

This was written 1500 years after he died. The book is complete with elaborate descriptions of the necessary dimensions in building different kinds of furniture like tables, altars and flower pots.

In the modern times, these are the tools a woodworker must possess:

* Measuring and Marking tools
_ protractor, tape measures, rules
- scratch awls, marking knives, marking gauges
- plane gauges in order to figure out how flat the surface it
- hygrometers in order to figure out how much water the wood has
- levels
- winding sticks
- combination squares, try squares, straightedges

* Cutting tools
- hands saws like the rip saw, cross cut saw, keyhole saw, bow saw, coping saw, tenon saw, gent’s saw and dowtail saw
- power saws like the chainsaw, radial arm saw, miter saw, band saw, scroll saw, hole saw, table saw and circular saw.

* Shaping tools
- hand planes like the smoothing plane, shoulder plane, spear plane, rabbet plane, scrub plane, block plane and jointer plane.
- jointer and thickness planer
- router
- rotary tools
- gouge and chisel
- drill press and chisel mortiser
- knifer
- rasp
- lathe
- other hand shaping tools like the adze, axe, froe, drawknife and spokeshave

* Assembly tools
- screwdriver
- mallet and hammer
- hand or power drills
- clamps like the F-clamp, G-clamp, C-clamp, miter clamp, bar clamp, band clamp and sash clamp

* Finishing tools
- sandpaper that can be used alone. It can be used with power sanders like belt sander, palm sander, orbit sander, disc sander or sanding blocks
- steel wool or bronze wool for polishing and applying stain
- file
- scraper
- spray guns used to apply lacquer
- brushes for applying varnish

* Accessory tools and furniture
- workbench or the bench or table where one sits or stands. This is where the woodworking process takes place
Kinds of workbench
1. dog hole or a round or square hole that allows clamping and holding devices to be attached
2. bench dog or a peg that is inserted into a dog hole that lets in the clamp pressure
3. hold fast or the rod that is bent when put into the dog hole. It is used to put boards into position
4. vise or a clamping apparatus that holds wood in various positions during woodworking
5. bench hook that is laid against the wood that can be pushed during woodworking.
- Sawhorse is the four legged stand that often comes in pairs. It supports long boards, sheets and panels.

Free Woodworking Plans-Effective Results

Once you have come to terms with what you want to make, the next most important step is space consideration. The amount of space you will need is directly proportional to the size of the items that you will be making. For example, if you want to make small craft projects, and you only require a scroll saw and perhaps a few assorted hand tools, space will be minimal. However if you intend to get into cabinetry, the space requirements increase significantly, in order to accommodate a table saw, and numerous other large bench tools. Most people interested in a large workshop will setup in the basement or the garage.

Next, you will want to make sure any workspace you choose is dry, or can be kept dry through the use of a dehumidifier. Most bench tools have uncoated steel tables which will rust with time. Additionally, if there is any chance of flooding or sewer backup (in the case of a basement), you will want to make sure your tools are elevated off the floor. It's not only bad for the equipment, but a serious safety hazard as well.

Once you have determined you have a dry area to work with, you will need to examine the power requirements of the equipment you will be using.  Higher horsepower equipment will need to be run on 220v - even though some will run less smooth on 110v. Most homes have 220v capability but usually require rewiring to accomplish it. Be sure to consult a qualified electrician before making any decisions on wiring. Obviously if you'll be making small projects, most smaller bench tools and hand tools run on 110v.

Next, you have to tackle the dust collection and ventilation issue, which is also an issue of space and power. Hardwood dust is dangerous from a health perspective, and all wood dusts present a potential fire hazard. Dust collection equipment comes in all shapes and sizes from HEPA filtered shop vacs to sophisticated systems that collect dust at the source and route to a large fabric bag - all with different collection efficiencies. In addition, there are room filtration systems to remove the very fine (and much more dangerous) dust particles from the air.

Now that you have an idea of what you want to build and you're certain you have the space and power, you can start planning which tools you need and design a room layout. There are many online resources that can help you plan your shop layout!

As stated earlier, it's much better to get a head start and determine what you want to build before investing money in a lot of equipment, as you will end up with a lot of stuff you don't need. Here, you can get over 14,000 woodworking plans, for every type of project imaginable. Not only will you get a head start, but also have at your disposal a lifetime supply of plans and inspirations!

Interested in Carpentry Woodworking? The Secret to Success is in the Plans

Many plans are available in the Internet, some free and some not. There are patterns for every project you can imagine, from a little box or a bird feeder to a large piece of furniture. There are sites that specialize in certain classes of plans, such as toys, or decorative items. Just put the type in your browser window and you will see a world of plans.

Plans can also be found in woodworking books, available in stores, in the library or on the Internet. Woodworking magazines often feature plans in each issue, so if you buy a few you will probably find a plan you need. If a certain magazine has the kind you like, you can subscribe.

New comers should start with simple plans. They will be easier to read and follow. When you get better, you can move onto more complex plans. A simple toy or a birdhouse is a good way to start. Make sure the plans you get are detailed enough. with illustrations as well as written instructions. Keep your plans in an organized binder and you can use them again and again.

Even though you are following a step by step plan, you may want to make a few changes to the plan. This is a great way to personalize it. Just a small change to an accent piece can make it look completely different. Or you can opt for painting a project when the plans call for staining it.

After you have created a few projects, you may want to consider designing your own plans. Sketch out what you want. You don't have to be too precise at first. After the initial sketch, decide how big you want it to be, what kind of wood you want to use. Then use the measurement to determine how much wood you need. Make sure you have enough so you don't run out. Decide what other materials are needed for the project so you can calculate the whole cost.

Then make a list of the material and the quality you want to use. Make sure you remember paint, stain and polyurethane. Make sure you have the proper tools for the project.
