Try Square

For marking out accurately at 90 degrees. The blade is usually made of blue steel and the stock (Wooden bit) is made of either beech or rosewood. The one you see on the left is beech, the stock is plated with a brass wear strip and the blade is held with brass pins. You will use this alot so it's worth buying a good one. Cheap ones don't last and may not be accurate.

Marking gauge

A very simple tool. You can get many different makes and models. Most are made of wither rosewood or Beech. The are used to scribe lines parallel with the edge of the wood. They are adjustable and the sharp point scribes the line. They have many uses these include marking out mortise and tennon joints.

Mortise Gauge

These are specifically used when marking out mortises. Unlike a standard marking gauge they have 2 pins. They save alot of time if you are marking off-set mortises or whan you have many mortises to mark out.

Panel Saw

This is a standard saw. Used by everyone. It can cut sheet material and timber. The blade is flexible - which limits it's uses.

Tennon Saw

Used traditionally to cut tennons. Also used to cut other joints. These are very controllable because of there ridgid blade which doesn't flex, making them ideal for pesise work.

Chisels

Chisels have to many uses to mention. They should be respected and kept razor sharp. They should not be used as screwdrivers ! There are many types around. These days the most common have plastic moulded handles like the bottom one, but some are still available with wooden handles and I think thats great !

Planes

One of the most traditional tools. These are used all over the world by many craftsmen. You can get planes which are works of art, hand made and costing £1000+. You can also get a good range of cheaper ones. It's worth keeping the blade razor sharp and all of it's workings rust free for best results.

Bar clamps and Sash Clamps

These are long clamps used to glue up big things. Wide panels and big frames and carcasses. They are available in many lengths. They can cost from £5 - £100+

G Clamps

Are again very traditional. They are small clamps used for things like clamping wood while glueing, holding work down and other things. You can exert a high pressure and these clamps are very strong.

The F clamp

Used for glueing up, and holding work/ benchtop machines down. Again in a range of sizes from small to big.
