Improve your craftsmanship with wood shaping tools

Having the right wood shaping tools available will help you carve a wood duck or trim a cabinet to fit. We have affordable wood planes and wood knives for occasional DIY projects and top-quality tools for the serious hobbyist or contractor. Flexcut carving knives come in more than a dozen styles from roughing knives to fine detail knives. If you use a bench grinder for woodworking, the Robert Sorby Wood Turning kit is an affordable set with good quality. Sorby carving chisels are among the most respected woodworking tools available. Wood plane options include block planes, rabbet planes and jack planes from Craftsman, Stanley and Great Neck Saw. Round, half-round and flat wood files from Empire and draw knives from Columbus McKinnon are other wood shaping tools.

Woodworking chisels can also be useful for shaping wood crafts as well as removing wood when fitting cabinetry and doors. Craftsman and Stanley chisel sets include chisels from 1/4 in. to 1 1/2 in. Ergonomic handles add comfort to your work. Cold chisels are designed for tougher materials like brick or concrete. They are made from heat-tempered steel that produces a tough, long-lasting edge.

When working in the shop or under the hood of a car, full-size shop aprons offer protection and keep your clothing clean. Trademark Tools makes heavy-duty denim shop aprons with pockets. They are easy to wash and feature adjustable necks for comfort and fit. Bib aprons from Steiner Weldmite and DuPont ProShield will protect you from splatter and sparks when welding. Carpenters will want to check out shop aprons from Craftsman, Ronson and Task Tool. They feature pockets for tools and fasteners, hammer loops and adjustable belts. Some are made from lightweight canvas and are very affordable. Leather carpenter aprons cost a bit more but offer greater durability.

Sturdy bench vises hold work pieces steady while you drill, file or polish. Standard vises bolt to your bench and are very sturdy. Craftsman makes bolt-on vises with different qualities and price combinations for you to consider. Wilton, Yost and Columbian make professional-quality vises for the commercial shop or the serious do-it-yourself enthusiast. Clamp-on vises are more portable, but may not be as sturdy as bolt-on models when working with heavy pieces. Proxxon, Olympia Tools and Trademark Tools make clamp-on vises that are quite affordable. Viseman vacuum-based vises cling to your workbench using suction pressure. They are very portable, and they are best used with lightweight work pieces.
