Gorilla Design Studio's Tools

 

On this page, you will find some of my power and hand tools.  I don't intend to catalog everything that I own - just to show a few of the tools that I own and like using.  This page will grow over time.

 

This collection of hand tools is all from the Veritas product line from Lee Valley.  Roughly, from top to bottom, a cabinet scraper, low angle block plane, marking gauge, saddle square, medium shoulder plane, and one round and one flat spokeshave.

 

My saw blade rack, including a Delta 40-tooth miter saw blade, a Ridgid 40-tooth combo blade, a Freud LU84R011 combo blade, a Freud LU85C010 80-tooth crosscut blade, and a Freud LM72C010 24-tooth rip blade.  The last two are chrome plated limited edition models.  The chrome makes them easier to clean (which I should've done prior to this picture) and less prone to heat build-up. 

 

This is a Record mechanic's vise that I bought on close-out for $45.  It got a quick-release handle and a swivel base.  I mounted it to some plywood that can be attached with some 1/4-20 bolts to my workbench when I need to use it.
