Editing Woodworking (section)

== Tools ==
Each area of woodworking requires a different variation of tools. Power tools and hand tools are both used for woodworking. Many modern woodworkers choose to use power tools in their trade for the added ease and to save time. However, many woodworkers still choose to use only hand tools for several reasons such as [[tradition]], the [[experience]] and the added character to the work, while some choose to use only hand tools simply for their own enjoyment.

=== Hand tools ===
[[Hand tool]]s are classified as tools that receive power only from the hands that are holding them. Edged hand woodworking tools need to be [[Sharpening|sharpened]] which is done using the [[sharpening jig]] and [[sharpening stone]]. A more novel method involves the use of [[sandpaper]].<ref name="Fine Woodworking 2000">{{Cite magazine |last=Kolle |first=Jefferson |date=January 2000 |title=Getting an Edge with Waterstones, Oilstones, and Sandpaper |url=http://www.finewoodworking.com:80/pages/w00003.asp |url-status=dead |magazine=[[Fine Woodworking]] |publisher=[[Taunton Press]] |issue=140 |pages=56–61 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100621070933/http://www.finewoodworking.com/pages/w00003.asp |archive-date=June 21, 2010 |access-date=2017-10-31 }}</ref> The more common modern hand tools are:

|Both files and rasps are used to grind down wood material either to make the surface flat, rounded, concaved, or many other shapes. Rasps make deeper cuts while files make smaller and less harsh cuts on the wood. The difference between the two is mainly their teeth size.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kelsey |first=John |date=2004-10-28 |title=Files & Rasps |url=https://www.thisoldhouse.com/woodworking/21015475/files-rasps |access-date=2023-05-02 |website=This Old House |language=en-US}}</ref>

|A [[drill press]] is an important tool used in woodworking. It is similar to a hand drill, but is a table/floor mounted machine that uses a shaft with a spring loaded handle to lower the drill bit into the wood or material. A hand drill is used by many woodworkers, but a drill press is even more accurate and powerful.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-10-28 |title=A Drill Press Will Make You a Better Woodworker |url=https://www.finewoodworking.com/project-guides/shop-machines/a-drill-press-will-make-you-a-better-woodworker |access-date=2023-05-01 |website=FineWoodworking |language=en-US}}</ref>

!Drum sander
|
|A drum [[sander]] is a machine that uses a wide rotating sandpaper drum to sand down a piece of wood as it rolls through the tool. Similar to a planer in how it operates; but instead of [[blade]]s, a drum sander uses [[sandpaper]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Planer vs Drum Sander - Which Should You Choose? - Rockler |url=https://www.rockler.com/learn/planer-versus-drum-sander |access-date=2023-05-02 |website=Rockler Woodworking and Hardware |language=en}}</ref>
