-----------------------

Many professional carpenters and serious amateurs enjoy collecting tools as much as they enjoy working wood. However, carpenters of all types and trades will agree that a small group of carpentry machines are essential to a broad range of tasks. These basic carpentry tools apply to several types of carpentry, including rough construction, such as framing walls, and finish carpentry, such as installing crown molding. For a beginning woodworker, a set of essential carpentry machines opens the door to an entire world of woodworking projects.
