If you’re feeling stumped while shopping for the woodworker in your life, don’t stress. We’ve pulled together the best gifts for woodworkers for any occasion–even the one who seems to have everything.
Featherboards help to protect their fingers when using table saws but can be cumbersome and annoying to use, so get them The Hedgehog, an innovative feather board that’s easier to work with so they’re more likely to use it more often. The more they use a featherboard, the less likely they are to injure themselves.
When using a table saw, instead of using your hand to keep steady pressure on boards during cutting, you can install a featherbaord to replace your hand. This keeps your hands away from the saw blade. Traditional featherboards are a board with fingers cut in an angle but they take a lot of finagling to install correctly and are a pain to adjust when switching to different board sizes. You can see how easy the transition is in this YouTube video.
The unique spiral shape of the Hedgehog means that once you install it into the miter slot, you just have to rotate it until you get the pressure you need and then use the center knob to lock the Hedgehog in place. It’s faster and easier to use than standard featherboards.
These NoCry Protective Gloves are a great choice for people who whittle, carve, or do a lot of work where their hands are right in the line of fire, so to speak.
You may have an image of chainmail gloves in your head right now but these are not that heavy, uncomfortable, or still. They have plenty of flexibility and are actually stretchy to enable more natural movement. They’re designed to work in a range of situations but specifically with people working in professional kitchens so you need to be able to have that dexterity to prepare food. For the same reason, they are food-safe and machine washable.
I’m not saying these gloves will protect you if you stick your hand in a saw, but they will provide five times more protection than leather work gloves.
Good Clean Fun is written by Nick Offerman, star of Parks and Recreation, host of Making It, and professional woodwork. He’s funny, thoughtful, and absurdly likable and he managed to write a book that is exactly that as well.
Good Clean Fun contains funny shop stories, step by step projects, woodworker lore and history, illustrations, and even a few recipes. It’s a fun, easy read and only a fellow woodworker would get all the inside jokes.
Could there be any more natural gifts for woodworkers than wood? This gift set is 25 pounds sampler of tropical woods that have been slow kiln dried.
These are cutoffs and shorts and perfect for small projects or inlays. The sampler is a grab bag but may contain cocobolo rosewood, teak, mango, mahogany, Spanish cedar, yellowheart, orangeheart, redheart, bastard lignum vitae, pink rosewood, goncalo alves tigerwood, Santa Maria, granadillo, and monkeypod.
If you’re worried about the environmental impact of harvesting teak, Diamond Tropical Hardwood use only environmentally conscious teak and they use money from each purchase to help replant deforested areas in Costa Rica.
Spoil them this year with a gadget that will make the rest of their year easier. This professional Bosch laser measuring tool replaces their old measuring tape. As a laser, it eliminates some of the common measuring errors that can happen with traditional measuring tapes like the tape slipping or not being exactly straight.
There is less bending and reaching with this digital measuring tape which can save a lot of time and back strain. And because the Bluetooth enabled device exports measurements to an app on your phone, there’s no worry you’ll forget the measurements before you jot them down somewhere.
It’s accurate to within 1/8 of an inch, has a range of 165 feet, and works both indoors and outdoors. The black, backlit display with white text makes it much more readable in the sun than other models that use black text on white. It’s small enough to it your pocket and comes with its own carrying case and wrist strap as well.
Beyond taking simple measurements this device has loads of functions like digital leveling, angles, volume, indirect measurements, and real-time measuring that adjusts instantaneously as you move closer or farther from the target.
If the woodworker in your life travels out for jobs, get them this Bucketeer Bucket Organizer from Bucket Boss. The heavy-duty canvas organizer is waxed to repel moisture and sized to fit five-gallon buckets.
It has a total of 60 pockets arranged on the outside and inside of the bucket in a variety of shapes and sizes to keep things orderly and easy to find.
This RAK Magnetic Wristband has 10 built-in magnet sections for storing nails, screws, drill bits, and any other small metal hardware. It’s much safer than holding the nails you need in your mouth and much easier than climbing up and down a ladder to get more nails as you need them.
It’s a neat, convenient gift that they might not buy for themselves (they can get by without it) but would really love to have.
If they do work on location or like to take their work out into the yard or driveway, they’ll get loads of use from this Bora Centipede Travel Work Table. It’s like a sawhorse but better because there are so many different ways to use it, plus it’s lightweight and folds into a small bundle to fit into its included carry bag.
There is practically zero assembly with this Centipede. You take it out of its carry case, pull it apart, and it’s ready for you to set it up as needed. It comes with four clamps and for two-by-four brackets so you can clamp on some plywood sheets to create a quick table, clamp the planks you’re working on in place, or create a quick sawhorse, depending on what you need. It sets up and breaks down in seconds.
Each image is printed on Archive Paper so the prints will be long-lasting and resist fading. They fit into eight by 10 frames which are very easy to find–unless your woodworker ends up wanting to build the frames themselves.
We all know this 10 Easy Steps Shirt is true. Get a laugh out of your woodwork who can then get some laughs from their other woodworker friends with this funny shirt.
It’s a simple, no-nonsense shirt that explains why woodworkers’ bodies are made of 75 percent sawdust. It can run just the teeniest bit small because of the cut, so keep that in mind while ordering.
They’ll have a fun time with a Woodburner Kit because they’re already being creative with the shape of the wood and now they get even more creative by being able to burn designs with professional control directly into the wood. It opens up their world to something as simple as marking their name or tracing letter stencils or as complex as elaborate burned artwork.
This is a professional setup with digitally controlled variable temperatures Hotter temps make darker marks while lighter temperatures allow for more subtle shading. It comes with 20 different, easy-to-switch, tips that allow for a whole range of different “brush tips” and stroke shapes. And it isn’t just wood either. These kits are great for leatherwork, paper, and even gourds like pumpkins.
If they’re not quite on a professional level yet, you don’t have the cash to drop on this big model, or maybe their art skills are not quite up to par, consider this 113-Piece Beginner’s Woodburning Kit. It’s a smaller, pen-shaped model without a big hub and includes a ton of different burning tips including a bunch of metal “stamps” that can burn in different shapes like hearts, circles, or crosses. It also includes 13 different stencils with alphabets and fun seasonal designs they can trace.
I grew up with a cheap beginner’s wood-burning kit but even then the ability to truly customize my work and sign my name to a piece was a cool addition to my creative process.
If you’re looking for gifts for woodworkers in your life and that is about as reckless as they get, check out this hilarious Mug from Perks and Recreation. You’ve got to respect their attention to detail, but it’s okay to also have some fun with it.

Get them a Custom Wood Branding Iron so they can proudly stamp their name on all of their creations.
There are a couple of ways to choose your logo depending on if you want something full custom or one of their pre-designed images with a customized name. You can either upload a drawing of your own design or choose from 36 images, most of which are woodworking-themed. Then you provide whatever message or name you want on the brand and that’s it–you get a customized branding iron.
It’s an easy, satisfying, and professional way for them to sign their names on their work. They’ll love it and they’ll love that you put in the thought and care to have something made special just for them.
With the TickTockTools Digital Angle Finder, they’ll be able to ensure they’re getting the angle they need without messing with cumbersome protractors and manual angle finders. A digital angle finder is always going to be faster and more accurate than a subjective eye using a manual measuring tool.
It runs on one AAA battery that’s included with the finder.
The Why and How of Woodworkingis written by famous furniture maker Michael Pekovich known for his beautiful style and approachable writing. This book has something for both beginners and seasoned woodworkers alike.
It covers a wide range of subjects from the philosophical topic of why creating with our own hands matters to organizational tips and how to choose the correct wood for the project. Pekovic includes projects in here as well and handy references like metric equivalents.
The photos and illustrations are high quality and Pekovich’s writing style is conversational and easy to get comfortable with.
Contour Gauges are time-saving tools that allow a crafter to take a mold of an area and perfectly trace it without going through all the trouble of measuring each angle individually.
It’s made of up ultra-thin plastic slices and when you press it against something the surface conforms to the shape. This gauge has a feature to lock the gauge in place so you don’t have to worry about it shifting around after you’ve taken your measurement. It’s a great choice for handymen and contractors.
Does anyone ever have enough pegboard bins? No. The answer is no.
They’re simple to install, easy to rearrange, and perfect for organizing all those tiny bits so you can find them fast. These are a nice neutral black and come with color-coded labels. They are compatible with metal and non-metal boards.

They’ll be able to measure anything with this Template Tool. The lightweight durable plastic is easy to fold up to store but sturdy enough to get the job done. It slides to conform to the angles you need and then locks in place so you can use it as a template making a variety of jobs easier.
Okay, so is the idea of The Woodworker’s Coloring Book a little weird? Sure, but it makes for a great stocking stuffer or companion gift in a set of smaller things or one larger one. There are a number of woodworking-themed coloring books but this one by Big Man Little Lathe stands out head and shoulders above the rest.
The other coloring books I found have very standard mandala designs with catchy phrases about woodworking overlayed on top of them. This one actually creates mandala-like designs from things like circular saw blades and hammers for a total of 49 woodworking tools and lumber-themed mandala pages.
Studies and mental health professionals, like those referenced in this Cleveland Clinic article on adult coloring, have long touted the relaxing effect of coloring mandalas making this great for your local resident stressed out woodworker.
For those who do a lot of dovetail joining work, get them this Suizan Japanese Dovetail Pull Saw. Compared to traditional western push saws, a pull saw is more lightweight and requires less muscle power to get a cleaner cut.
This saw is handmade in Japan using Japanese high carbon steel which holds an edge for longer than standard stainless steel. It’s a great tool for dovetail work.
This Celtic Knot Spoon Carving Kit by BeaverCraft is an all-included set that comes with everything you need to create this impressive spoon. It comes with detailed instructions, pattern, wooden spoon blank, safety tape, stropping leather, polishing oil, carving knife, and curved spoon knife.
It’s a great kit for beginners because it comes with everything and it’s also good for experienced woodworkers because it will teach the skills on these eye-catching cut-out patterns.
Dust collection machines can cost hundreds and even thousands of dollars but the Dust Deputy is a dust capture system that works with your existing shop vac. You hook up the Dust Deputy (the white bucket) to your shop vac hose, turn on your vacuum, and then use the Dust Deputy’s hose to suck up the dust or attach it to your sander. The power of the vacuum sucks up all the sawdust but the Dust Deputy captures and separates it with an anti-static cyclone, so 99 percent of the dust stays in the Dust Deputy bucket and doesn’t make it into your shop vac.
This is better for the life of your vacuum, reduces the need for filter cleaning and replacement, and makes it easier to contain and dispose of woodworking dust. The Dust Deputy uses a two-stage system to prevent dust from reaching your vacuum and can work with dry and wet dust. Plus, it’s made in America.
If they enjoy woodturning, get them this Ballpoint Pen Woodturning Kit which includes the hardware needed to create eight different ballpoint pens as well as eight wood blanks. These make for impressive gifts so they can show off their woodworking skills.
Keep in mind that you’ll want to make sure they have a lathe or pen turning tool.
People who love whittling know it’s a great little hobby that’s perfect for keeping your hands busy whether relaxing after a long day or out on a camping trip. Typical whittling knives aren’t especially portable and that’s why Flexcut came out with this Carvin’ Jack Folding Whittling Knife. It’s like a Swiss Army knife, but for wood carving.
The Carvin’ Jack is the industry standard for pocket carving knives and this is the brand you get when if you can afford to.
It comes with six different classic shapes of whittling blades in one knife. The American-made knife has a textured handle for better handling and comes with a leather belt sheath and polishing compound. They also make models specifically for lefties.
Document this tried and true measuring technique with his funny “Measure, Measure, Cut, Swear, Repeat” T-Shirt. It’s comfortable, 100% cotton, and the distressed look will help it hold up longer.
If you need to carve out something nice and round, you can’t be the original KUTZALL Sphere Rotary Burr. The attachment is compatible with most rotary tools that have a 1/4-inch collet or are adjustable.
The one-inch sphere is covered in a textured carbine coating that allows it to power through even harder woods without needing to apply heavy pressure. Because you don’t need to be leaning all your might into your carving, you can have much better and finer control of what you’re doing.
Save back strain with the Original Bucket Dolly. It’s a simple little device with a big impact: they’ll never have to haul heavy buckets around their workshop again.
It fits most buckets between 3.5 gallons and seven gallons and has stabilizing bolts to keep smaller items from moving around. Locking casters keep the dolly in place where you want it.
Workman’s Friend Liquid Barrier works as a liquid glove to prevent stains, paint, grease, dirt, and other irritants from sticking to your skin. If you apply this to your hands before work, anything you get on your hands will be unbelievably easier to wash off afterward instead of having to spend forever at the sink washing and rewashing your hands with all kinds of special soaps like Goop. It’s one tiny step that saves a lot of time later.
Plus all that handwashing is bad for your skin leaving you with dry, irritated, and cracked hands. Workman’s Friend helps to keep your skin healthy by skipping harsh soaps and gently moisturizing without ever feeling greasy.
Protect their back and knees with a rolling stool like this Traxion Monster II Mobile Stool. It’s a low-profile stool designed for car detailing but also works for working on smaller projects that you don’t want to lift up onto a workbench.
The pneumatic seat is height-adjustable and comfortable for long hours of use. There’s a built-in container just above the wheels perfect for storing all the tools needed for that project to reduce how many times they’ll have to get up and down. It has a weight capacity of 400 pounds.
Both the fine and coarse whetstone blocks have a flat side and a side covered in grooves of different sizes. These specific ridges that are built to work with unique shapes and curves of woodworker chisels and carving tools. The blocks fit into the wooden base with a non-slip bottom making it easy to use.
This super comfortable, tag-less “Sawdust is Man Glitter” shirt is screen-printed by artists in Michigan. It has a unisex fit for any woodworker with a sense of humor about living and breathing sawdust on a daily basis.
If they’re a woodworker, chances are sanding is occasionally the bane of their existence. Reduce the frustrations with this set of Sanding Detailers. The unique shape of the detailers allows you to get into hard-to-reach areas and achieve fine precision with its angled tip.
Once one begins to get dull, you can easy switch out the sanding belt portion for a new one. The 24-piece set includes four colorful sanding belts and five belts each in four different sanding grits. Replacement belt sets are affordable too.
If you’re looking for a unique gift beyond tools and equipment, pick up this Winix HEPA Air Purifier for their home. It certainly won’t replace the need for a dust collector in their workshop but as you’re probably all too aware, the dust doesn’t stop at the workshop.
Woodworking leads to huge amounts of dust and while they can make an effort to leave most of the visible particles in their workshop, the smaller, invisible particles migrate into living spaces. This smaller, secondary filter is a second line of defense to keep the people in the home happy and healthy by removing allergens.
Having a quality air filter will help to remove those microscopic particles and keep the air in the house cleaner and safer. This uses a three-stage filter so it can help capture both dust and other particles as well as reduce any smells of wood stains, paints, glue or other chemicals that may have been brought from their workshop into the home on their clothes. It would also help with normal odors from pets or cooking.
. If dust migration is a concern of yours, check out this article from Wood Magazine on how to keep dust in the workshop.
Texas Canvas Ware’s aprons are some of the best workshop aprons out there and their Woodworking Edition Apron is built specifically with those needs in mind.
The durable canvas has been waxed to resist water, connections have heavyweight steel grommets, pockets are double stitched, and waist-level pockets have sawdust flaps to protect them from filling up with dust as you work. There’s also a safety strap built into their cellphone pocket to keep the phone from falling out when you bend over.
The apron also has extra hammer loops and padded shoulder straps to support the added weight comfortably. Even the color is meant to hide sawdust.
Lots of tools in their workshop are loud enough to cause hearing damage over time so help protect their ears effectively and comfortably with the 3M Peltor X5A.
The X5A model has the highest-rated protection of the Peltor over the head muffs at 31 decibels, meaning that the muffs reduce a sound by 31 decibels which can be enough to bring some power tools down out of the damaging range into a safer level. They’re comfortable so your woodworker is more likely to use them compared to foam earplugs.
According to an article on woodworking by Hearing Health & Technology Matters, hearing protection is an absolute must, and hearing loss with recurrent exposure to loud noises like power tools isn’t an “if,” it’s only a matter of when. They also recommend the Peltor line of ear protection.
Unlock all the amazing projects they’ll be able to add to their arsenal with this Jet Variable Speed Wood Lathe. It will allow them to create rounded and smooth works of art like bowls and vases like they’d never been able to before.
It has incredible control and range of its speed which is displayed on an LCD readout. the lathe can spin at between 60 and 3,600 revolutions per minute. You can always find the perfect speed for detail work, smooth transitions, and polishing. It has forward and reverse functions as well as a built-in tool rack.
This isn’t a small tool and will need some space as well as a stand.
They do make mini wood lathes if you’re buying for someone who’s just getting started in woodworking or doesn’t have the space for a full professional lathe.
It’s an investment to be sure but Jet is a trusted brand and offers a five-year warranty. They’ll be thrilled with this new toy.

There’s stuff in here to challenge even seasoned woodworkers as well as quicker projects to get newer folks started. It’s a great resource to have for work around the house or just to get inspired.
They’ll love this Custom Woodwork Ornament handpainted by Ornaments by Elves. I love all the great details including the two nails in the mouth and the pencil behind the ear.
You can choose to add their name to be specially written on the ornament as well as the year. There are three options for the woodworker’s appearance: white with blonde hair, white with brunette hair, and African American.
You get three wall-mounting, durable metal pegboards that form this arch shape as well as lots of accessory pegs like the paper towel roll holder and shelf, clamp rack brackets, screwdriver holder, and 20 peg hooks in four different sizes. It also comes with the mounting hardware for the pegboards themselves.
They’ll be able to perfectly organize and customize their tool storage space and make things neater as well as easier to find the tools they need.
The kit comes in 12 different colors including grey, black, red, orange, pink, and metallic.
It’s not the highest-quality, professional lathe out there but before they decide they want to make the investment of a full-size lathe, this mini one is a perfect beginner lathe. It’s a great size for making pens, small bowls, chess pieces, bud vases, and other smaller projects.
I like that it’s significantly smaller (as well as cheaper) so it’s a better size for woodworkers who don’t have a spacious workshop.
Upgrade their cleanup with this DeWalt 10-Gallon Wet and Dry Vacuum. It’s from a brand they trust and has enough volume to take care of their workshop without needing to empty the vacuum constantly.
Using a maximum of 5.5 horsepower, this wet and dry vac can handle dry and wet messes as well as work as a blower to clear sawdust. Its cord is 10 feet long, giving a lot of maneuverability. The dust filter is washable and reusable. It sits on four caster wheels for easy moving, even when loaded down with a full load.

If they could use a portable worktable or sawhorse, get them the Pegasus by Worx. The aluminum reinforced ABS plastic worktable folds down first into a sawhorse and then folds again to lay flat so it’s easy to transport and store.
As a worktable, it can hold 300 pounds of force and in its locked sawhorse position it can hold up to 1000 pounds. For a folding 30 pound table that is more than impressive. There are six built-in clamps, two quick clamps and four clamp dogs, to securely hold projects of odd sizes and shapes. It even has a small, built-in bottom shelf to store items off the ground when not in use.
It comes fully assembled and ready to use out of the box.
Woodworking kicks up a lot of dust so help protect their eyes with these No-Fog Goggles from Dewalt. It’s a trusted brand for a reason. The surface is scratch-resistant and the soft rubber creates a solid but comfortable to keep sawdust out.

The design is on both sides which I always prefer. It’s printed in America and is both microwave and dishwasher-safe.

Go big this year with this mobile workbench from Yukon. This 46-inch wide workbench has a solid wood work surface with a protective seal to keep your bench looking good even after years of wear.
The nine drawers have smooth ball bearing operation. Each drawer is lockable and comes in a variety of sizes for great organization. The lockable casters make this easy to move as needed or keep in place if you prefer.
There’s very little assembly so you won’t be giving someone a four-hour project. The only things left to do are to attach the wheels (if you want them on there) and the pull handle on the side.
There isn’t a workman alive who doesn’t need more storage and workspace so this is bound to be a hit.
This Wood Tool Sharpener by Work Sharp is a perfect way to make keeping their tools sharp faster, easier, and with left effort. This design of sharpening is perfect for their lathe chisels and plane irons and can leave them sharper than when they were brand new.
It uses a high-powered motor with a maximum rotation speed of 580 RPM. To keep tools from becoming hot, the sharpener has a built-in heat sink and uses active-air cooling. They’ll love being able to keep their tools sharper while saving the time normally spend on sharpening them by hand.
Your fingers are priceless so keep them safe with this Push Block Set by Peachtree Woodworking Supply. It comes with five different push block tools that stabilize boards while they’re being cut while keeping fingers away from the saw blade.
It has a variety of shapes and sizes to work with different projects and needs. The bottoms of the blocks are made with washable rubber for improved grip and control.
A good clamp can make or break a project and these Quick-Grip Clamps are both secure and easy to work with. They’re simple to set in place and release so you don’t have to worry about clamping being such a production. THey’re great for both beginners and seasoned artisans who could use a break from their older clamps.
They can exert a maximum force of 140 pounds despite being surprisingly lightweight.
If they like to gather their own wood for carving or whittling out in the forest, make their hikes easier with a Pocket Chainsaw. The folding saw is much easier than hauling around a handsaw and significantly more effective than other pocket-sized options.
The 36-inch length of saw comes with two big nylon handles for pulling back and forth. You also get a waterproof pouch made of ballistic fabric for carrying it. Surprisingly the saw itself weighs under half a pound.
So many woodworking gifts are geared toward men but femme people can be woodworkers too. She can show off her pride with this HandyWoman shirt with interesting typography and a graphic of a hammer. It comes in four different colors and three different cut shapes–women’s, men’s, and youth sizes. (A little strange but okay.)
If they love Shaker-style furniture or do dovetail work, upgrade their marking tools with this Dovetail and Wheel Marking Set. The precision dovetail tool has markings for four different proportions to best work with hardwood or softwood. The markings are etched on both sides for ease of use no matter how you hold it.
The wheel cutting gauge locks in place on the measurement of your need and uses a smooth bronze disc to glide along the edge of a board while the cutting wheel marks out a straight line.
These are two essential tools for dovetail and other joining work.
No one’s favorite part of woodworking is sanding so help them speed up the process with the WEN Variable Speed Detailing Sander. The narrow 1/2-inch width sanding belt is built to get into areas that are too difficult to get to with a manual sander. The long narrow design and hinge at the base of the sanding belt with 55 degrees of motion allow this sander to access awkward spaces and angles that otherwise they might struggle with.
The replaceable belts come in a range of different grit types. I like that the belt has an auto-tension system so you can easily change belts without needing any tools.
A rotary tool is a must-have for any workshop so upgrade theirs with the most trusted brand: the Dremel Stylo+ corded rotary. This compact tool carves, polishes, etches, and burnishes with variable speeds up to 22,000 RPM. It’s compact enough to comfortably hold in one hand and fight into tight or awkward spaces.
Depending on which of the 15 included bit attachments, it’s great for sanding hard-to-reach areas or getting creative with tools that help you engrave or etch on glass, wood, leather, and even metal. The carving attachment helps to make precision cuts. It comes with an organizing storage case.
Make their lathe projects more enjoyable with results they’ll be proud of with this Wood Lathe Chisel Set by PSI Woodworking. It comes with eight chisels, each with a 10-inch hardwood handle for superior grip.
The chisels come with a wooden case for storage and easy travel. Each one is labeled right on the blade for easy identification.
Inhaling sawdust is both unpleasant and unhealthy. If they don’t have a quality dust collection system for their workshop yet, they’ll be so grateful for this Shop Fox Collection System.
This 1.5-horsepower model can process air at a rate of 1,280 cubic feet per minute (CFM). If you’re not sure how much that really is, consider that one self-storage company gives the example that a 10-foot by 10-foot room with a ceiling height of eight feet contains 800 cubic feet of space. That means that the Shop Fox could send all the air in that room through their filter system and then reprocess over 25% of that air again–all in a single minute. If that’s not enough, they offer a 2-horsepower version that can process 1,550 CFM.
It filters out dust down to around 2.5 microns. If you’re not sure if that’s good, the EPA website does a great job of helping us conceptualize how small 2.5 microns is by pointing out that the thickness of an average human hair is 70 microns.
The system is built to be able to function as a stationary filter that sucks in particulates across a space or to have a vacuum tube attached for directed suction.
If you’re looking for a gift that provides them with a set of quality tools, consider this Seven-Piece Woodworking Chisel Set. It contains a wide range of tools to cover a variety of carving and woodworking projects.
Each chisel has a hardwood walnut rounded handle for their comfort when handling. The blades are made with chrome vanadium instead of standard carbon steel for more strength, hardness, and durability. With periodic oiling, these tools will last them a long time.
This Measuring Spoon Kit includes the hardware and bushings they’ll need to make their own set of measuring spoons. This is a nice gift for someone who has a lathe and enjoys woodturning projects.
It comes with all the metal spoon hardware for a tablespoon, teaspoon, half teaspoon, and a quarter teaspoon as well as the metal keyring to hold them. It doesn’t include wood blanks but they can choose their own wood of preference.
Every crafter needs a Dremel tool but corded models can hinder you. Give them freedom of movement with this Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool Kit. The tool has a removable rechargeable battery pack and comes with the charging base.
Despite being a cordless model, this rotary has plenty of power with speeds going up to 30,000 RPM, higher than some corded models. These speeds allow for intricate detail in your carving, etching, cutting, and engraving.
It comes with 28 accessories that are simple to switch out with the twist-nose design.
Great for relative beginners, this Rotary Carving Bit Set because it can turn most power drills into electric wood carvers. It’s a good hack for people who aren’t ready to invest in a quality dremel or dedicated tool. T
The burs have a triangular wedge shape which helps to keep the sawdust moving up and out of the working area for smoother, faster carving. This set is 10 pieces in five different shapes, so you get two of each shape.
Woodworkers have a special pride in their work. Show them the same kind of thought with these 63 best gifts for woodworkers from gags to woodworking tools.
