Expert woodworkers have been around since early civilization. Wood was one of the first materials to be worked by primitive human beings. In fact, the development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in woodworking. A variety of hand tools and power tools are available to help woodworkers with everything from measuring and marketing, to cutting, shaping, carving and finishing. The number of specialized tools can be surprising to beginning woodworkers. A number of woodworkers focus on old-fashioned techniques that can go back hundreds of years, using only hand tools that can be old or antique.
