Assorted
Tools found on the Farm
Farm
work was hard and at the turn of the century, some of the tools were not yet
well developed. Above are some of the
tools you might find on the 1800 and early 1900 farm. Across the top is a two-man crosscut saw. At the far left are two levels. The next three items are hand planes. Next is a two-handed draw-knife (used for
rough-shaving of wood) hanging over a drill-brace. Immediately to the right of the knife and brace is a soldering
iron (requires external heating). Three
wood augers are at the right of the picture.
A scriber/marker (used for scratching a mark on wood, stone, metal,
etc.) is hanging between the two left most wood augers.
Near
the bottom of the picture is a wooden toolbox.
Two wood augers protrude vertically from the toolbox and a hand plane
rests in the toolbox.
