has a relatively wide blade, can be changed and adapted to the wood surface. It
is used for sanding wood or plywood surface. Some of the known type of ketam is ketam bunga, and ketam cuci.
Ketam bunga also called ketam perapat or ketam jantan. This ketam
is the longest. It is used for leveling and smoothing the edges of wood for tanggam temu (jjoined mortise) and tanggam pasak (mortise pegs date). There
are various forms of ketam or komoi (Kedah’s accent). The ketam is
used to make a variety of flower shapes on the frame, beautiful decorations on
board and flowers by the wooden edges. The shape of the blade can give image of
flowers to be generated. Ketam Cuci
is used for sanding the ravine or gully. Smooth groove surface can produce a
more streamlined and effective system of mortise.

the tool, which are a thread spunning part and the black ink. It is used to
mark a relatively long piece of wood. The trick is to pull the thread taut so
that the inked thread hovered over the surface of the wood. A taut pulled up as
high as 1 foot and discharged on the surface of the wood.

There are two types of commonly used saws which is Gergaji
pemotong (cutting saws) and gergaji pembelah (splitting saws). Cutting saws
used to cut wood horizontally while splitting saws used to cut wood lengthwise.
For generating punch-through, gergaji bunga (flower saw) are used.

used need to be washed or planed properly so that it is flat and smooth before
marked.
