we're going to talk about some of the toolswe use here in the shop here at masters touch. this is a wood lay, this is one of our duckcalls that's hand turned on this old lay. these are some of the tools that we use. thisis a different type of skew and parting tool and gauges, things that we use for wheneverwe're wood turning on our lays here. this is a vice, we use a lot. this actually wasmore of a carving bench right here, where
buy vintage woodworking tools, we did most of our carving and this is someof our grinders, where we sharpen our knives and have to keep your stuff sharp. this isour overhead router, that's very old, it was a hand made overhead router, where we do alot of different things from pattern making to all kinds of routed edges that we do differentbits will go in here, some of them, we grind.
we've got this made where this whole piece,swings up, so if we need to cut some big plywood, this whole table top will come up here andit also has a place on it, where we can mount a router, from underneath and we can run somedifferent types of small moldings, where we have this set up here for where we have arouter, mounted up underneath. we've had this equipment for thirty years, we haven't reallyhad to change much. this is our large band saw and it's twenty-eight inches and sixteeninches deep, it could cut. this is our big stroke sander, which is kind of like pattingyour head and rubbing your stomach. you're sanding a piece, like that, and you keep thispiece, which is a graphite cloth, in the middle here, and then you can sand your pieces, asthis is going around. this turns around like
this and then this holds it in place and youcan sand your pieces, as it's going. this is our cutoff saw or, where we like to doour, we say is our most important piece in the shop. this is where we'd cut off the badparts of wood like where these cracks are here, we'd be cutting this off to make surethat all the cracks are out of the wood, before we go through all the trouble of going throughall those other machines, in the shop, only to find that we had a crack in the wood. thisis what that's used for. that's the jist of it. that's another type of cut off saw butthis is where we cut all our lumber off and the rough, before we take it up here and plainit.
