There are many house tools that are commonly used in
building wooden boats. They include hammers, cross cut
saws, benches, vices and power drills. In order to build small
boats which are less than 5m there are tools such as clamps.
Clamps like spring clamps and G clamps are used invariably.
The G clamps are available in 100 mm and in 150 mm.
They are also available in 50 mm sizes. For frame designs,
steel spring clamps are used. In order to shape ply and wood there are flat and round surform rasps
available. There has to be a drill set comprising of many speedbore drills and rotary sanding backing
pads with a range of replacement sanding pads that are of fine and coarse kinds. There also is a need
felt for counter sinking drills and set square that is right angled and a manual screw driver set along
with blades to match screws.
A craft knife with flat and round files for wood, metal
and a set of three chisels ranging between 6 to 25
mm are required. There should be power tools
available that are cheap. They include saw with fine
tooth and wood blades that are used in cutting
plywood panels. Also a rotary sander is required that
has fine pads and a cordless drill that saves energy as
well as time.
Another power tool is a steambox that is used for
making planks. There is also a need felt for fine tooth
hacksaw that aids in cutting metals like stainless steel
bolts. It also helps in cutting ultra-fine wood. A tenon
saw that is finely toothed is used to cut grain in order to produce a fine cut. There are expensive
Japanese draw saws also available that are excellent for fine cuts. For making centre boards and
rudder blades, an electric blade is used.

2. In boat building process, there is lots of sanding required that is performed by dry paper or by dry
sandpaper. They are required for painting and for providing accurate finish. The sandpaper grade
ranges from 40 to 400. Wet and dry sandpaper may last longer than the dry one. The dry one is used
on dry wood whereas the wet one is used for paint finishes. In case power sanders are used, less
amount of sandpaper is required. For applying fillers, there is a need felt for flexible stainless steel
blade and spatula applicators.
Screws made of bronze and brass are used avidly. Screws are also made of stainless steel that is used
for attaching fittings with hull in the boat. It is also used as strong filler. Tongue depressors are used
to mix and apply the epoxy resin. For wood fastening there are many silicon bronze ring nails
available. The above tools help immensely in building wooden boats so that you get boats which are
of world class superiority.
