There are various sorts of planes besides these, used for cutting various parts of the work, but they are most of them of similar construction.
Chisels are either for paring the wood, and are used with the hand; or are intended to cut into the thickness of the wood, and are then struck with a large wooden hammer, called the mallet. The gouge is a curved chisel, used for cutting mouldings or making round edges.

The boring tools are the bradawl, the gimlet, and the stock and bit.
The bradawl is a small sharp wire fixed in a handle, and used for making holes to receive large nails, which, if driven in at once by the hammer, would split the wood. Nails are of various kinds, the difference in which may be seen in the engraving. The best kinds of nails are made from thin bar iron, pointed, cut off to the proper length, and the head formed by stamping.
The gimlet is a hollow blade with a screw at the end, and fixed to a cross handle. It is used for boring a larger and rougher hole than the bradawl, for receiving screws, which are screwed into their place by the screw driver, a sort of chisel, the edge or point of which enters the notch in the head of the screw, so that the workman may turn it round.
The bit is a tool not unlike a large bradawl, which fits into a stock or handle. The bits are of various sizes, and are used for boring large holes.
