Ryobi Compact Barrel Grip Jigsaw
Popular Woodworking
|December 2024 - Issue 281
A jigsaw is a great tool for all sorts of quick cuts in the shop. With that in mind, the ONE+ HP Compact Brushless Barrel Grip Jig Saw is just the right size to make it a go-to choice.
The saw features speeds up to 3,200 SPM, a 1" stroke length, and four orbital settings. Ryobi claims it's the most compact and lightest ONE+ jigsaw. Even among the many jigsaws I have, this is both the lightest and smallest overall.

Bent Rivers Marking Knife

Hone Scrapers with Diamonds
A lot of folks use a stone to put the final edge on a scraper before turning its hook, but I prefer to use a diamond paddle. It cuts faster than most stones and obviously won't develop a rut, which is always a danger when you continually run the edge of a scraper on a stone.
