Woodworking requires a lot of work. In fact, there is so much work to do that it requires more than just one person to do a simple project. That is why manufacturers of woodworking products always find ways to make things a little easier for woodworkers.
Here are some helpful woodworking products that are now available in the market.
First is the new magnetic wrist nail holder. As the name implies, this fits in a woodworker’s wrist. Inside the wrist are six magnets. The woodworker can stick nails to it so he won’t have to dig in his nail box. It can hold one pound of nails or drill bits. It is a very handy tool indeed.
Another handy woodworking product would be a miniature plane. This is exactly like a normal plane, except that it is only a few inches long. It is handy for precise smoothing, especially if the area is very small, such as the edge of a sheet of plywood.
Another useful woodworking product is the Bowjack. This unique tool is used to install wooden boards for decking, floors and ceilings. The Bowjack is placed flanking a board. The Bowjack’s spur is then driven into the framing. When the Bowjack’s lever is pulled, it forces the board into the correct position and spacing. A sliding collar holds the board in this position. This frees a woodworker’s hands so that he can fasten the boards to the frame.
Steel straight edges are very useful woodworking products. They can withstand scoring and other processes that can damage ordinary plastic or wood rulers. The best straight edges come with an accurate level gauge.
Woodworkers sometimes need to travel with their tools in hand. A standard tool box would be too bulky. So, certain manufacturers introduced a roll-up tool bag. This woodworking product is very convenient and is excellent for keeping, organizing and protecting your tools. Made out of thick polyester fabric, this bag has pockets enough for nine tools. Each pocket can accommodate tools up to 2 inches in diameter. Each pocket also has a flap to prevent the tools from falling out. The bag can be spread out and can be mounted to the wall.
Finally, safety should not be compromised, especially when working on high ground. If the woodworker accidentally drops a tool, he might injure someone below him. That is why a safety tether should be attached to the tool. This woodworking product is made out of coiled stainless steel for a maximum strength of 175 kilograms. This can be attached to a woodworker’s belt. If he drops the tool, the tether would prevent it from falling below.
These are just some of the many products which can make woodworking easier. The woodworker should check the internet for any more products which might be of good help for him.
