That’s the kind of love and dedication that craftsmen have for their tools.

If you’re reading this, then you’re most probably a woodworker or a craftsman- or a craftswoman. Or someone working in a wood shop.

Making a beautifully carved wooden cabinet from a log of wood surely requires good artistic skills, but a number of essential woodworking supplies and tools as well.

Here are some of the most essential woodworking tools with their uses:

• Sanders to use for surface sanding, flat sanding, edge sanding, stripping paint, cabinet doors, or whatever other unique purposes you may have in mind. They come in many varieties, each with a specific function, speed, dust collection, size, weight, choice of abrasives, and ease of changing them, among other things.

• Rippers for use on a bandsaw. They’re a simple and easy to use tool that hold a log securely in place while you cut it through a bandsaw blade. They are usually accompanied with additional angle cutting accessories.

• Sanding mops are a must have for all woodworkers and wood shops. They help to sand those contours without removing the all important details. They are essential to produce a good finish on round wooden surfaces.

• Woodscrews and hardware for building fences and jigs, and also to prevent wood from splitting. They provide tremendous holding power and also improve the look of your projects.

• Hegner scroll saws are extremely affortable and help to easily make inside cuts and get smooth edges without sanding. They provide accurate, precise cuts with smooth finished edges for a smooth vibration-free operation.

• Drillnado Dust Collection are innovative dust collection accessories that picks up nearly all of the dust while scroll sawing. They install quite easily and help in collecting the dust above and below your workpiece and scroll saw table.

• Digital woodcarver to make your carving easy and hassle-free. With computer controlled functions that it comes with, you’d simply need to set up the design that you want carved, insert the material of your choice and the machine brings your creative masterpieces to life, that too with great accuracy and precision.

There are several online stores that manufacture a large collection of woodworking products that are essential for every woodworker.
