Striking and shaping tools include a hand-turned joiner’s mallet, a cast-iron double-handed spokeshave, a long-handled paring gouge, and two socket-style chisels. The collection is completed by a metal layout or medical tool with a chain attachment and various wooden stocks and fences for specialised planes.
