HAND TOOLS
Hand saw
In woodworking and carpentry, hand saws, also
known as "panel saws", "fish saws", are used to cut
pieces ofwood into different shapes. This is usually
done in order to join the pieces together and carve a
wooden object. They usually operate by having a series of sharp points of some substance that is
harder than the wood being cut. The hand saw is a bit like a tenon saw, but with one flat, sharp
edge
Hand Drill
A drill is a tool fitted with a cutting tool attachment or
driving tool attachment, usually a drill bit or driver bit, used
for boringholes in various materials or fastening various
materials together with the use of fasteners. The attachment
is gripped by achuck at one end of the drill and rotated while
pressed against the target material. The tip, and sometimes
edges, of the cutting tool does the work of cutting into the
target material. This may be slicing off thin shavings (twist
drills or auger bits), grinding off small particles (oil
drilling), crushing and removing pieces of the workpiece (SDS masonry
drill), countersinking,counterboring, or other operations.
Nails
In woodworking and construction, a nail is a pin-shaped

object of metal (or wood, called a treenail or "trunnel")
which is used as a fastener, as a peg to hang something, or
sometimes as a decoration.[1] Generally nails have a sharp
point on one end and a flattened head on the other, but
headless nails are available. Nails are made in a great variety
of forms for specialized purposes. The most common is
a wire nail. Other types of nails include pins, tacks, brads,
andcleats.
Coping saw
A coping saw.
A coping saw is a type of hand saw used to cut intricate
external shapes and interior cut-outs in woodworking or
carpentry. It is widely used to cut moldings to
create coped rather than miter joints. It is occasionally
used to createfretwork though it is not able to match
a fretsaw in intricacy of cut, particularly in thin
materials. Coping saw blades are always thicker and
much coarser cutting than typical fretsaw blades and many others of its family members. Coping
saws can however cut slight bends in the work, allowing circles to be cut if used carefully.
Dead blow hammer

A dead blow hammer is a specialized mallet helpful in
minimizing damage to the struck surface and in limiting peak
striking force, with minimal elastic rebound from the struck
surface. The minimal rebound is helpful in avoiding
accidental damage to precision work, especially in tight
locations and in applications such as maintenance work on
hydraulic cylinders.
Sandpaper
Sandpaper or glasspaper[1] are names used for a type
of coated abrasive that consists of sheets
of paper or cloth withabrasive material glued to one face.
Despite the use of the names neither sand nor glass are now
used in the manufacture of these products as they have been
replaced by other abrasives such as aluminium oxide or
silicon carbide. Sandpaper is produced in a range of grit sizes
and is used to remove material from surfaces, either to make them smoother (for example,
in painting and wood finishing), to remove a layer of material (such as old paint), or sometimes to
make the surface rougher (for example, as a preparation for gluing). It is common to use the name
of the abrasive when describing the paper, e.g. "aluminium oxide paper", or "silicon carbide
paper".
C-clamp
A C-clamp or G-clamp is a type of clamp device typically used to

hold a wood or metal workpiece, and often used in, but are not limited
to, carpentry and welding. These clamps are called "C" clamps because
of their C shaped frame, but are otherwise often called G-clamps or G-
cramps[1] because including the screw part they are shaped like an
uppercase letter .
Claw hammer
A claw hammer is a tool primarily used for
pounding nails into, or extracting nails from, some other
object. Generally, a claw hammer is associated
with woodworking but is not limited to use with wood
products. It is not suitable for heavy hammering on metal
surfaces (such as in machining work), as the steel of its head is somewhat brittle; the ball-peen
hammer is more suitable for such metalwork.
Rasp
Fine wood rasp
Farrier using a two-sided file, double-cut on the visible side and rasp
cut against a horse's hoof
A rasp is coarse form of file[1] used for coarsely shaping wood or other material. Typically a hand
tool, it consists of a generally tapered rectangular, round, or half-round sectioned bar of case
hardened steel with distinct, individually cut teeth.[1] narrow, pointed tang is common at one end,
to which a handle may be fitted.[2]
Try square
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Try square
A try square is a woodworking or a metalworking tool used
for marking and measuring a piece of wood. The square refers
to the tool's primary use of measuring the accuracy of a right
angle (90 degrees); to try a surface is to check its straightness
or correspondence to an adjoining surface. A piece of wood that
is rectangular, flat, and has all edges (faces, sides, and ends) 90
degrees is called four square. A board is often milled four square in preparation for using it in
building furniture.[1]
Tape measure
A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible ruler. It
consists of a ribbon of cloth, plastic, fibre glass, or metal strip
with linear-measurement markings. It is a common measuring
tool. Its design allows for a measure of great length to be
easily carried in pocket or toolkit and permits one to measure
around curves or corners. Today it is ubiquitous, even
appearing in miniature form as a keychain fob, or novelty
item. Surveyors use tape measures in lengths of over 100 m (300+ ft).
Chisel

BCE
A chisel is a tool with a characteristically shaped cutting edge (such that

wood chisels have lent part of their name to a particular grind) of blade on
its end, for carving or cutting a hard material such as wood, stone,
or metal by hand, struck with a mallet, or mechanical power.[1] The handle
and blade of some types of chisel are made of metal or of wood with a
sharp edge in it.
Chiselling use involves forcing the blade into some material to cut it. The
driving force may be applied by pushing by hand, or by using
a mallet or hammer. In industrial use, a hydraulic ram or falling weight ('trip hammer') drives a chisel
into the
The Utility Knife
A good utility knife is another asset for the woodworker. There are many different kinds, but
the kind that uses disposable blades is the most common. The blade retracts into the grip for
safety. The woodworker will use the utility knife when cleaning out mortise joints or to scribe
wood, as well as many other uses.
The Level
Every woodworker needs a couple of levels. You probably wont need one of the 6-foot levels
used in construction, but 48 is a good length for many of the woodworking projects youll do.
Usually, youll also need an 8 level too, usually known as a torpedo level. Youll check the
level and plum of your construction. Level means horizontal, and plumb is vertical.
