Every woodworker needs a good level or two! Did you know that level means horizontal, while plumb refers to the vertical level? A good level will have both!

1. Circular saw
   Screwdriver
2. Metal detector
   Hand saw

A screwdriver is classified by its tip, which is shaped to fit the driving surfaces on the corresponding screw head. Two of the most common screwdrivers are the blade type for slotted screws and Phillips for cross-recess types.

   Rip fence
2. Tape measure
   Claw hammer

A rip fence is an important part of a safe work environment when it comes to shop. A good rip fence protects the operator by ensuring that the wood being cut is lined up so the grain of the wood is ripped cleanly.

1. Miter gauge
   Claw hammer
2. Block plane
   Feather board

A miter gauge is a device used for holding workpieces at a set angle while being cut on table saws or band saws, or while being sanded on stationary disk sanders. The miter gauge and the workpiece are generally held together by hand and moved across the worktable while making the cut.

1. Feather board
   Dado
2. Saw horse
   Power drill

A dado refers to a groove cut in the face of a board, into which the edge of another board is then fixed. These are often used to affix the shelves of a bookcase.

1. Compound miter saw
   Power drill
2. Drill press
   Bow saw

A miter saw is used to make accurate crosscuts in a workpiece by pulling a large backsaw or a mounted circular saw blade down onto a board in a quick motion. These saws are also referred to as chop saws.

2. Hand saw
   Jointer

Did you know that the jointer derives its name from its primary function of producing flat edges on boards, prior to joining them edge-to-edge to produce wider boards? Also, be mindful when traveling - "planer" is the normal term in the United Kingdom and Australia for what is called a "jointer" in North America!

1. Wooden mallet
   Hand saw
2. Sabre saw
   Table saw

While there are many different types of mallets, wooden ones are used primarily in carpentry. Its purpose is to knock wooden pieces together or to drive dowels or chisels. Also, a wooden mallet will not damage a metal tool when striking!

2. Air compressor
   Circular saw

Do not be confused - an air compressor is NOT an air pump. An air pump does not contain an air tank for storing pressurized air and it is generally much slower, quieter and less expensive than an air compressor!

1. Circular saw

2. Work light
   Metal detector

Operating a power tool such as a saw or striking a chisel with a mallet in the dark is strictly ill-advised! Make sure to always have a bright work light to help you see and stay safe!

1. Vise
