List of timber framing tools. Illustration of carpentry (charpente) in the French EncyclopÃ©die showing hewing, mortising, pit sawing on trestles. Tools include dividers, axes, chisel and mallet, beam cart, pit saw, trestles, and bisaigue . The men talking may be holding a story pole and rule (or walking cane). Shear legs are hoisting a timber. Below, the sticks on the log are winding sticks used to align the ends of a timber.
Choose a cutting tool with a slightly rounded tip. A tool with a sharp pointed tip will cut little grooves across the face of the work and prevent you from getting a nice smooth surface. Clamp the cutting tool in the tool post and turn the toolpost so that the tip of the cutting tool will meet the end of the workpiece at a slight angle. It is important that the tip of the cutting tool be right at the centerline of the lathe; if it is too high or tool low you will be left with a little bump at the center of the face.
