In this video, I will go through the basic tools you will need to build a small, wooden boat.

Considering the complexity of a wooden boat, you may be surprised by how small and simple this basic tool kit is.

The tools are grouped into three categories: Tools for measuring and marking, tools for cutting wood, and tools for joining pieces of wood together.

Essentially, that's what wooden boatbuilding is about: Drawing a precise line, cutting out the piece and then attaching it to another piece of wood. Then repeat the process until the boat is done.

Obviously, there are a few more details that need to be filled in - but it's not as difficult as you might think.

Some of the tools that will be covered in this video are:

The pencil and the eraser. The square and the bevel gauge. The plumb bob and the level. The pencil compass.

Hand saws. Chisels. Planes and spokeshaves. Files and rasps. Sharpening tools.

Drills, screwdrivers and hammers. Riveting and clench nailing tools. Clamps, nippers and pliers.

Machinery: The bandsaw and the thickness planer.
