Period Woodworking Tools.

Diderot.





Brace and bit.

Bucksaw.



The auger and gimlet I made from some old brace bits.

Paring Ladder.


Pump Drill.

Making Rakes.

The stail is the long straight handle used on hoes and rakes. I make mine with a hatchet and drawing knife, but as you can see there is a stail engine.


This tine former can also be used for making wooden pegs for other construction work.
