Woodworking Tools and Equipment includes any device, machine, tool, or piece of equipment used by individual craftsmen, modern industries involved in the manufacturing of furniture, buildings and lumber yards. Carpentry, joinery, and cabinet making are specialized woodworking crafts, providing a range of products from wooden structures and furniture to wooden toys. Prior to the invention of electricity, woodworking equipment and tools consisted of hand made tools such as chisels, planes, carving tools, knives, hand saws, rasps and sanding blocks. With electricity came power tools which were more productive and capable of producing furniture on a massive scale. Woodworking has gone from being a craft, art, or hobby of the individual to the automated factory capable of producing wood shapes and stocks such as plywood, special moldings, furniture and building components such as rafters, walls and entire prefabricated houses.
