=====Tools We Own=====

Making this list so people we know can borrow things.

Leaving out basic stuff like hammers and screwdrivers, but including all power tools.

Will add proper model info. later.

  * Chisels
  * Numerous drills
  * Drill press (kinda wonky).
  * Dust blower thing.
  * Jigsaw
  * Orbital sander
  * One of those triangle shaped sanders/cutting things for funny little spots.
  * Ladder
  * [[Multimeter]]

=====Tool Maintenance=====

====Wooden Handles====

  * Linseed oil is probably the best option, considering cost/effectiveness. Don't use //boiled// linseed oil, that has solvents and things in it.
  * Sometimes handles have a plastic coating to seal them. You should just scrape this off.
  * For the first time, it's good to use a brush to apply the oil. You want it to really soak it up. Give it a good coating a leave it to dry. If parts dry quicker than others top them up.
  * I've seen places recommend wetting the wood, or leaving it in the sun first, to get it to soak in easier.
  * Once or twice a year (do it when the weather's nice) you can reapply some oil with a rag.

====Leather Handles====

  * I don't really know shit about leather.
  * The only leather-handled tool I have is one of those [[Estwing]] hammers.
    * They're made from leather rings (and a few plastic ones).
    * The original protection on the leather is shellac.
    * I've seen people online use neatsfoot oil on the leather. Apparently this is used for baseball gloves.
    * Other things I've seen are leather conditioner (like you might have for shoes), beeswax, animal fat(!), even linseed oil.

====Secateurs====
