Wood Carving
|
I am a big fan of BeaverCraft tools. They are high quality and very affordable. Their draw knife is no exception! Razor sharp, solid build, and great feeling handles make this a wonderful buy at an amazing price.

This strop is perfect for honing and keeping all my curved gouges razor sharp! The ability to add fine grit sandpaper and also use the leather strop make this a great all-in-one accessory. I even us it to touch up my lathe gouges while wood turning!

I use this curved carving gouge chisel for hand carving spoons, bowls, kuksas, and any other time I need to carve a deep hollow. The bent design allows for clean and smooth arc cuts and feels great in the hand.

This is the kit I grab anytime I start any wood spoon carving. It has everything needed to turn a piece of wood into a finished spoon — including the leather stop, honing compound, and even bandages! The hook knife is very strong and all the handles fit very well into my hand for great comfort.

Hand Tools

This is a great little knife! It fits perfectly in my pocket and never gets in the way. It’s perfect for most all my knife needs (minus fighting grizzly bears) and the quick-change universal utility knife blade means I can abuse it all I want! |
|
This is the saw I use most in my workshop. Razor sharp, thin, and extremely versatile. I cannot recommend this saw enough. You owe it to yourself to get one of these if you’ve never had one before! View on Amazon

This is my go-to anytime I do any electrical work. This tester is extremely easy to use, understand, and handles a variety of voltages. View on Amazon

I love these chamfered countersink bits! They give a smooth countersink and have never let me down, even after over a year of constant use! View on Amazon

I really like Walrus Oil for it’s ease to apply, and nice natural finish it gives. It’s food safe and one my customers love to hear I use. View on Amazon
|
|
I use this variable speed controller on my bench grinder to slow it down for sharpening my lathe tools. This is incredibly useful and saves me a lot of money from having to buy a dedicated slow speed grinder. View on Amazon

Power Tools

I have used this planer for years and it has never let me down! Sturdy, accurate, and reliable — the perfect tool!
|

This miter saw is affordable, powerful, and small enough to not take up a ton of space or be too heavy to tote to the job site. I have owned this saw for years and been very pleased with it.
|
|
I love the small form factor of this jointer. It’s accurate, reliable, and has served me well for years.

I bought this bench grinder for using to sharpen my woodturning tools. I attached my variable speed controller to it and have loved the grinder ever since! It’s exactly what I was looking for and needed in my workshop.
|
|
This saw is extremely durable, sturdy, and has been the best large tool investment I’ve made to date in my workshop. The ability to make accurate, repeatable cuts is vital in a workshop. This saw delivers time after time and years after years.

Woodturning

I love this lathe! It’s small, yet powerful and very versatile! The large capacity (for its small size) is awesome as is the variable speed controller and reversible motor! I highly recommend this lathe.

ISOtunes OSHA Approved Bluetooth Ear Buds I’ve used these for about a year and absolutely love them! They’re comfortable, durable, and block all unwanted sounds with ease. The battery life and sound output is great too! |
