Puritan Tools

Not respecting tools can leave tools in poor quality, example a file store correctly in wooden slot and protect teeth.

Mousterian tradition. They created sets of tools with great variety and finely trimmed cutting edges. Flint stone properly chipped forms a cutting edge sharper than a steel scalpel.

During the Elizabethan time there were a variety of weapons used for defence and leisure. Despite the end of the medieval times, many of its weapons were still in use (Mahabal). Because of this, the Queen pushed to have new, modern weapons be created in case of a war. The threat of a war was real because of the constant dispute between the Catholic Spanish and the French (Alchin). Most of the weaponry that came to be happened to influence English history forever such as the Rapier, the musket, and the cannon.

Back in the Stone Age, the early man created tools to help them do everyday tasks they needed to survive. In document #2, figure 2 shows a variety of tools and weapons created by early man such as bows, arrows, and spear throwers and so on. The materials needed to make these include bones, antlers, and teeth because they were durable. Some types of tools that early man made was sharper blades for hunting, fishhooks for fishing, and needles for sewing. In document #5, a picture shows a group of people doing tasks to help out with the community. One woman is crafting fur/skin into clothes, another woman is taking care of a child and the men are hunting for food. Without tools, these tasks would take a longer time to accomplish and would be even harder to do. Depending on the group, the cultures could be different, which could effect on how they make a

“Click Click.” Weapons during the Elizabethan Era weren’t known for hurting of shooting. Armor was also used and created by leather and wool fabric. Both of these materials had a lot in common for combat material.

The hoe. One of the most important farming tools for the Puritans, or anyone in general! Without this bad boy, tending your fields would be a lot harder. Hoes also come in different styles as you can see from the picture. Each had its own purpose, or you could use one for all of your necessities. Either way, a farm is not complete without your trusty hoe.

In the 19th century, we were already big with steel. But, here came Henry Bessemer and changed the whole concept of it so we can put that steel to use. He created the Bessemer converter, which converts iron into steel. With this converter, we started to get massive bridges, railroads, the first skyscrapers. The Washington Monument was made with this steel. America started to expand and got bigger and better because of this invention. “As a home industry, iron and steel making ranks fifth in the Unites States being exceeded in order, by agriculture, slaughtering and packing foundry and machine shop products and lumber and timber products. It furnishes work over a quarter of a million employee supports directly 1,000,000 people, and indirectly many other in tributary operations with their

produced less efficient tools. In document 2 by Huan Guan, it was stated that “These tools

Each tool and weapon was made from certain items, and they each are used in a different way.

Tools have changed the face of carpentry forever. Newer tools have shortened the time of work, the quality of the finished products, and the depth of this project. Power tools have made a big contribution to these tools such as levels, plans, and crosscut saws. They do the work in less time and are now more accurate (Britannica). Specific tools that have helped are lasers and GPS. Their main use is for setting up the building corners and building perimeters. Before lasers and GPS was available, workers used to do all of this work using string and tape measures (Craig). Now the work is done far more accurately the first time. It has reduced the amount of time spent at

The large number of practical and useful inventions brought forward during the time leading up to and including the period known as the Industrial Revolution had a significant impact on both American society and the world. The transition that took place resulted in reliance on mechanical sources of power/energy rather than the traditional human or animal sources to produce the products needed (Hackett, 1992). One of

This is often seen in ax heads and maces. Obsidian mirrors are made in the same grounding process. Bone needles used for stitching clothes were also found. My point with identifying all these different methods of making tools is that it is highly unlikely that each and every household had the skills to do all these functions. There must have been class levels in this society and since there wasn’t any sign of currency they must have used some sort of bartering system attain these services. Like a hunter going to get his ax re-sharpened and paying the craftsmen with some game that he has killed.

In the years following the war, once everything had settled down and the United States of America was whole again, technology really began to pick up. At the start of the 1870s, America was in the beginning stages of becoming a very technologically advanced nation. Some of the key ingredients that America already had for the future were, electricity, steal, railroads, chemistry, and the most important one of all engineers of production. These engineers were innovators and wanted to be able to mass-produce anything that they could. In order to mass-produce at a high capacity, the engineers believed that America must create parts interchangeably. This enabled manufacturers to manufacture things such as, guns, clocks, bicycles, typewriters, and even engines very quickly. Whether America knew it or not, this was the beginning to something that would forever change the way the world operated.

He argues that, while many processes were developed to improve metalworking after the war, the ones that ultimately prevailed were not the ones which were most efficient. He demonstrates how several alternate techniques actually had better results more quickly that the NC (Numeric Control) machining which eventually came to dominate the industries, and in fact the NC machines were often slower for a significant period of years.
