woodworking-hand-tools-intro

FerroxLabs/wayland

Teaches beginners the core hand tools for woodworking (hand saw, chisel set, block plane, combination square, marking gauge), sharpening fundamentals, safety practices, and a first-project sequence that builds foundational skills. Includes a tool checklist organized by priority, wood selection guidance, and measurable skill milestones. Use when the user wants to start woodworking with hand tools, asks about essential woodworking tools, tool sharpening, or a first woodworking project. Do NOT use for power tool woodworking, furniture design, professional cabinetmaking, or 3D printing (use 3d-printing-beginner-guide).

wonsukchoi/domain-experts

Use when a task needs the judgment of a Cabinetmaker/Bench Carpenter — calculating expected seasonal wood movement for a solid panel and designing joinery to accommodate it, deciding whether incoming lumber needs to acclimate before milling, choosing a joint type by its actual load path rather than appearance or speed, or diagnosing a delivered piece's gaps or cracks as an acclimation/movement issue rather than a joinery defect.
