Our Equipment
The Machine Workshop has a large collection of generic workshop tools along with more specialised woodworking tools including Japanese hand saws, a variety of carving chisels and hand-planes. If there is a hand tool that you need, you'll probably find it in the machine workshop.
The Machine Workshop has a large range of power tools that rely on additional power sources and other than sole manual labour. The workshop collection include sanders, routers, circular saws, and specialised joinery machines.
