Nail set: Small punch used to poke a series of holes into the wood around a finish nail.

Screwdriver: hand tool used to gouge the wood around a partially driven screw, just before you wring its head off, giving it that last 1/4 turn. Thrown across the shop, can be used to test the strength of window glass.

Glue bottle: Best known for falling over, and anointing priceless antique hand tools on the shelf under workbench.

Workbench: Receptacle for last weeks newspapers, leftover paint cans, and lawnmower engine parts. Alt: can be used for storage of woodworking project components for months on end.

Buffing wheel: Adjunct to woodworking, used to take highly polished brass hardware parts, and fling them across rough concrete floors and under dusty, cobwebby workbenches, never to be seen again.
