Home›Woodworking Tools›GroupBrowse ByGroupTool group sorts tools by the broad kind of object each one is, separate from any single craft that uses it. Wikipedia defines a tool as an object that can "extend an individual's ability to modify features of the surrounding environment or help them accomplish a particular task," a definition that covers everything from a hand needle to a lathe. This grouping lets a visitor compare tools of a similar kind across different crafts.FactsGroupSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested476,000 BCE 1GroupFilter Results12 entriesTool FamilyAllWoodworking Chisels and Carving Tools (1)Woodworking Clamps and Vises (1)Woodworking Drilling and Boring Tools (1)Woodworking Fastening and Driving Tools (1)Woodworking Garden and Yard Tools (1)Woodworking Knives and Blades (1)Woodworking Measuring and Marking Tools (1)Woodworking Planes and Shaping Tools (1)Woodworking Power Tools (1)Woodworking Saws (1)Woodworking Sharpening Tools (1)Woodworking Striking Tools (1)Used In CraftAllLeather Crafting (2)Pottery (1)Woodworking (11)Power SourceAllElectric (1)Foot (1)Hand (8)Steam (1)Water (1)Introduced EraAllClassical Antiquity (6)The Ancient Near East and Bronze Age World (3)The Contemporary Period (8)The Early Modern Period (8)The Late Modern Period (10)The Mesolithic Period (5)The Neolithic Period (5)The Paleolithic Period (5)The Post-Classical and Medieval Period (4)ActionAllCut (8)Finish (4)Hold (3)Join (1)Measure (1)Shape (5)Still Made TodayAllNo (1)Yes (9)Material WorkedAllGlass (2)Leather (1)Metal (4)Wood (10)Era of EmergenceAll3,300,000 BCE (1)2,500,000 BCE (1)79 (1)1821 (1)1880 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareWoodworking Chisels and Carving ToolsGroup9 entriesWoodworking Clamps and VisesGroup13 entriesWoodworking Drilling and Boring ToolsGroup11 entriesWoodworking Fastening and Driving ToolsGroup3 entriesWoodworking Garden and Yard ToolsGroup21 entriesWoodworking Knives and BladesGroup31 entriesWoodworking Measuring and Marking ToolsGroup22 entriesWoodworking Planes and Shaping ToolsGroup28 entriesWoodworking Power ToolsGroup32 entriesWoodworking SawsGroup16 entriesWoodworking Sharpening ToolsGroup4 entriesWoodworking Striking ToolsGroup14 entriesSources1.
