Woodworking Hand Tools Knowledge Base
Need old hand tools for woodworking----? I am looking for hand tools for my woodworking hobby. I need a wooden mallet, cooper's adze and whatever I can find. Where can I find these used and usable, not for show or collecting? New ones are so expensive.
What tools should I take to a beginners woodworking class? This is the class description: Students taking this class will work on a pre-selected project using either hand tools and/or small power tools. The project will include most phases of woodworking skills: cutting, gluing, sanding and assembly. Materials for this project will be furnished, however, students are encouraged to bring their own power or hand tools to use. Any suggestions?

What is the need some have to give un-asked for advise? There are very brilliant people in here, you (some) are very smart. I woodwork, my garage is filled with woodworking tools & machines $30k invested. I also have a neighbor who have a small box of hand tools and can't drive a nail straight...yet this doesn't stop him from walking into my garage and giving me advise on everything I do. I usually ask him a few questions (over his head) and he say's he'll teach me later. My wife has an uncle that ask me very personal finanical questions (most I say I don't know) and then procedes to give my money advise BTW, he's a barber. Point is: why do so many people insist on giving advise to things they don't have a clue about. As a rule I never give advise unless I am asked...and then if I don't know (often) I point them to someone who does know (seems simple to me). It seems to be difficult for some to say "I don't know", ...what is this?
Which tool is best for woodworking? I want to do some woodworking, but am unsure which tool is best for doing letters and other things of the same nature, I have talked to a couple people and have had mixed answers, so is a hand held jigsaw or a scroll saw better for what I am trying to accomplish? Thanks in Adavance!
Carpenters, what cordless set do you recommend? I have just started woodworking and would like to start a cordless collection. I'll start with the basics: drill, circular, palm sander, router. Can you all recommend a good brand. I know Dewalt is top of the line but it is out of my price range. My father has a small set of Ryobi 18v and seems happy with it. Is this a good set? Please also recommend some other necessary tools. I have several hand tools: screwdrivers, plyers, clamps. I'll probably start building simple projects: bookshelves, a ladder for a bunk bed, a child's drafting table.
Cabinet refinishing book recomendation? I want to refinish my cabinets my self. I have little to no woodworking experience. I am an experienced electrician though, so i have no problems with basic hand tools or tasks. What is a good book series to use. One with diagrams and step-by-step instructions is appreciated.
I have just moved to the San Antonia area, will someone hire me?, I willing to learn and work hard.? I have done factory work my whole life, would really like to get into Toyota. I have miminal experience in carpentry but feel I'm a quick learner and am willing to learn. The work I've performed in the past has been' shot blasting steel, cutting steel, grinding steel, also also assembly work from wood furniture to band instruments. Ihave also buffed and polished brass and silver band instruments. I am also a registered basketball official with the state of Michigan but will register here in Texas as well, I have been officiating for 15 yrs. I have also done packaging, inspecting and some fork-lift driving. I enjoy working with hand tools specifically for woodworking which I like to do as a hobby when I can which is a craft I would definately like to improve on because I enjoy doing it. I also have a chauffer's liscense.
noises giving my goosebumps? Some noises give me horrible goosebumps and make my whole body feel weird. The noises are usually things scratching together like a saw grating metal or someone rubbing their hand or nails across those holographic things with the grooves. I can't stand it. I recently had a demo in class with a lot of metal and woodworking tools/machinery which made my nerves tingle. Is there any way I can control it? I want to work with those materials in the future but just thinking about the noise chills my nerves a little.
Directions: Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.?The Station Bench? Directions: Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.? The Station Bench I was twelve when I really started learning about time. I spent a week during my summer vacation building a bench with an older boy named Tony. The bench now sits near the train station in my hometown. Whenever I return, I drive to the station to watch weary commuters collared by time sit on the bench and observe life passing by. Tony was my grandparents’ neighbor. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I was more interested in spending time with Tony than in spending time with my grandparents. Tony had a real talent for woodworking, and he had a set of tools that looked ancient yet perfectly at home in his young hands. The bench we built was made entirely from an old moss-covered walnut log we found behind Tony’s woodshed. We spent the last three days of my vacation scrambling to complete the bench. Countless times I told Tony and my grandfather, who would pop in to check our progress, that we didn’t have to finish right away. But my grandfather would have none of that. He grew up in an era in which time and resources were precious and counted in lives and lost opportunities, not in days, hours, or minutes. In this respect, Tony and my grandfather were alike. Tony seemed wise beyond his years, as if he held answers and secrets deep within him. We had no plans, no pictures to go by. Tony envisioned the bench and then went to work. “Let’s mill the log into planks, Jess,” Tony commanded. “We’ll rip the boards to width and cut them to length.” I learned a new language and how to see the uniqueness within common objects. We planed planks into smooth rails and elegant slats. We cut joints that were tight and strong. I like to think now that Tony and I were joined that week, not only by the common goal of finishing the bench, but also by something much stronger than any joint cut with a saw or chisel. Parched and tired, we took periodic breaks. “Jess, go fetch a couple pops from da ‘frigerator,” Tony would bark. We’d sip the cold, fizzy liquid and yell like kids at neighbors and passing cars. Occasionally the summer air was punctuated by roaring motorcycles. “Whooooo, boy, Jess” he’d yell at me. “That’s the motorsickle fer me.” We finished the bench and it sat in my grandparents’ garage for some time. They eventually donated it to the town. Tony, I learned, had joined the army. Only recently did I learn why he never returned to claim the bench. Today, I tell my son about Tony and how we built the bench. I show him Tony’s tools, which I now have, with handles worn dark and hard from the hands of a boy who ran out of time. And together we search old woodsheds for another moss-covered black walnut log with a secret buried within. 1. In what ways were Tony and the narrator's grandfather alike?

For Woodworkers. Can I use tenon cutters with a portable drill? My husband just purchased a 12 Volt DeWalt DC759 portable drill - 1/2" VSR. Must have two speeds as it states 0-450/min 0-1500/min RPM. I would like to know if it is possible to use tenon cutters ( 1" and 2" sizes) with this drill. Same goes for the 1" and 2" frostner bits. All of the cutters state "use with electric drill" I'm hoping a portable qualifies. If yes, will it run my (I mean his!) drill down really quickly? If no, what about an impact gun? 7.5A 1/2' square drive, 2100 RPM. And finally last resort, anyone have any experience using the hand cranked ol' fashioned type drills? I've seen one at Lee Valley Tools that is supposed to do the job. FYI: I'm looking to try my hand at making a few pieces of rustic furniture - as well as some railing for the cabin's loft. Please note, I have zero woodworking experience, this will be learning experience for me. THANK-YOU!!!
