need assist identifying tool kit - Woodworking Talk

buggirl456 · 01-07-2009, 11:30 AM

Can someone help me identify what these tools are?(see attached) They appear to be a wood carving or wood burning set (left as part of an estate). Thank you!

I will probably be corrected...but they look like clay sculpting tools to me

Probably not what it is but looks like it would be a great setup for burning in shellac sticks for repair work.

I'd have to agree. It would really suck to try to carve wood with the skinny metal handle. All my wood carving tools have a big fat wooden handle which allows for more control and leverage. Plus, the tool ends don't look too sharp.

I think I saw something similar at my Dentist's office...

Of course, the last scene in Braveheart included similar looking items as well....

Since there seems to be no signs of heat, I'm betting it's not a wood burning tip. I'm inclined to agree with Daren on this one. (Please don't tell him I said that, though...

)

They looks something like wax carving tools??

I assume the piece in the center of the pouch is
the handle?

My first post was a shot in the dark...a Google image search kinda cements my guess. Yea clay or wax tools http://www.modelxchange.com/?mxc=1226195297

Daren;

A little off topic, but, when you search do you find
sites that won't give any info without your life history?

They want names and emails and phone #. Or you
have to "sign up"!

What's with this?

**Daren** · 01-07-2009, 01:18 PM

No, never experienced that

. While we are off subject, do you ever Google search yourself/people you know ?

Yes, I am a very dull person!

Bovine dental implements?
CIA torture devices?
Wood turning kit for MDF blocks?

I thought the wax and clay tools just were the various-sized little wire loops-on-a-stick for the most part?

Does anyone here know of any good ONLINE places to purchase hardwood floors? Is craigslist a good place or not?

At first glance I thought they might be soldering tips, but the gouge looking tip in the top right doesn't support that theory.
In leu of that, I'll go with Darens hypothesis.

These tools are wood carving. Wood carving is a form of working wood by means of a cutting tool held in the hand (this may be a power tool), resulting in a wooden figure or figurine (this may be abstract in nature) or in the scuptural ornamentation of a wooden object.
Basic tools are
1 a specialized knife used to pare, cut, and smooth wood
2 a tool with a curved cutting edge used in a variety of forms and sizes for carving hollows, rounds and sweeping curves.
3 used for parting, and in certain classes of flat work for emphasizing line
4 a specialized deep gouge with a U shaped cutting edge.
5 large and small, whose straight cutting edge is used for lines and cleaning up flat surfaces.

Ahh, so that's what those tools really are. It's great to have an expert that can clear up questions like this one. Thanks for the explanation of woodcarving and the specialty tools.
