All the talk about wooden boards got me thinking - what are the essential tools required to make a wooden board - either hand tools or power?

Hi Bob,

i use an electric (runs on green power) saw for the rough outline, the rest (shaving and sanding) is done by hand.

Hello Eef,

Which hand tools do you specifically use - drawknife, spokeshave, small hand plane (blade size?) etc.


regards

Bob

Mike, I think I read you're retired now.

Was it your job to work with wood ?

I might use a belt sander and a router more than most people. My plywood and cork boards can be shaped rather quickly. I think I spend more time on the masonite template.

These are the main tools I use in all my boards:
Jig Saw

Shinto Rasp

Belt Sander

Random Orbit Sander

Plus a LOT of 40-60 grit sand paper!

Hi Bob

For the balsa boards I'll use hand tools as it is so soft - stanley knife block plane and sanding block for the rails

for ply boards i'll sometimes use a jigsaw and circular saw but all shaping is done using hand tools

Oh and a black and decker workmate that belonged to my dad

Cheers
Andy

I've got a bosch jigsaw and pc random-orbit sander that I like. Fit a somewhat coarse (120g) disc to the sander and it takes off a lot of material, but is a lot easier to control than a belt sander.

I'm also a fan of good hand planes in general woodworking, but haven't done anything fancy yet in the way of board building.
