Crucible Engraving Tool
The Crucible Engraving Tool is a simple, easy-to-use tool that allows you to slice straight and curved decorative lines on almost any wooden surface. The Engraving Tool was designed to create geometric patterns found on old Scandinavian and Eastern European furniture. But we found it also is excellent at carving modern geometric patterns.
The Engraving Tool consists of two pieces: a handle and a...

The Sterling DTR-2 Dovetailing Rule is made to fit Starrett 4'' double and combination squares that have 1/16'' (1.6mm) thick rulers.

Crucible Pinch Rods
Please Note: Wood is not included.
While there are many ways to determine if an assembled carcase is square, the easiest method is to use “pinch rods” to compare the corner-to-corner measurements.
Unlike using measurements to compare the diagonals, pinch rods do not depend on reading and remembering dimensions. So they are much less prone to error. Also, pinch rods allow you to bring...

Lost Art Press - 5 Woodworking Pencils
Traditional school pencils aren't ideal for woodworking. The pencils and lead snap too easily in use. And the eraser is a joke (Lost Art Press have a recommendation below).
After Lost Art Press tested many different combinations of lead (called the “core”) and diameters, this pencil became their shop favourite. It is robust because of its diameter and the fact that it is round....
Pentel Graphgear 1000 Automatic Pencil 0.7mm
We were first put onto these little beauties by Jaap Bosma (the taller half of Mappa Tools). Jaap was taking all the credit for uncovering the mechanical pencil, until we stumbled upon a blog from Christopher Schwarz and that they'd been on the market for almost a couple of decades! Anyway, a few years later and the dynamic buying department of CHT sprung into action and finally started to stock...

Veritas Set-Up Blocks - 9 Piece Metric Set
Setting up machines in the shop can be a frustrating and inaccurate undertaking. Tape measures and rulers are difficult to use when measuring gaps between curved bits and guide fences. Worse, machines often require two hands to adjust, leaving nothing to hold the measuring tool. The Veritas set-up blocks help solve this problem. Simply place the appropriate block or combination of blocks between the...
