Hey guys, First time poster here, with woodworking in the family and training in my early years - since forgotten, however having grown up in the era of power tools, i've shifted my interest from making pieces with these to more traditional old ways and i want to get an 'authentic' toolset together to try and get some of those imperfections into the 'period' type pieces I am starting to make.

What hand tools were in an 18th early 19th century joiner/cabinetmaker's toolbox? What 'powered' equipment did they have access to?

I can't find a specific list of tools anywhere regarding what was available at the time.

I am fascinated with hand tools myself. I am not going to be able to help you really just post stuff that I drool over from a later period than you are talking about. I REALLY want a Stanley #45 & #55 (with all the irons) http://jonzimmersantiquetools.com/features/combo.html

I am sure you have seen this before, my dream toolbox

I have a shop full of power tools, but still use spoke shaves/roundovers/rasps...I am not going to open this can of worms again. They make laser guided cnc machines that can make things out of wood, perfect every time. Is that machine a woodworker ?
