Carpentry

How to Craft Using Carpentry
Tools and Materials Required

-Chisel or flint

-Hammer

-6-18 wood, depending on the number required for the item you are crafting.

Instructions

(1) Rip page out of the book as a guide.

(2) Put it in the frame of the projector on the chisel deck. This will highlight the areas you need to break off in the order required to make the item in the recipe.*

(3) Use the chisel to break off the highlighted portions of the logs. Place the chisel on the bark. You should be able to feel haptic vibrations from your controller if you have made contact. Once you've lined up the chisel, slam the hammer against the end of the chisel.

(4) Once the bark has been removed in the correct order, you are free to chisel the softer portion of the wood in any order to finish the item. Once you've removed the first inner layer after the bark, you will start to see portions of the item you've made. Repeat this step to fully remove all of the soft wood. There are a total of 3 layers. The first layer is the bark, the second layer is the logs with the bark removed, and the third layer shows part of the item.

Crafting Tips

-The projector is not required for creating pieces. As long as you remove the bark in the right order, the correct piece will still be created.

-Flint on a stick works as well in place of a chisel. Chisels work better. The nicer chisel you have the easier it is to craft.

-A rock on a stick works as well in place of a hammer. The heaver and larger hammer you have, the easier it is to apply force to the chisel. Note that the quality/material of your hammer only affects the durability of your hammer. A common misconception is that if you have a Valyan hammer, it will work much more efficiently than say, a Red Iron hammer. This is untrue. The only property that will make your hammer more efficient is the size, and weight of it's head. All metals and alloys have the same weight.

-Try to line your chisel up under where the bark splits for more leverage. This will make it easier to break the bark off.
