Replacement Cutters. Bent Paring Chisel. I have some specific recommendations at the end. I've included Amazon, Blick and McClain's Printmaking links in this post because they're easy places to order tools - it's quite rare to find a local art shop that sells a range of good quality relief printmaking tools.

Amazon and Blick also have helpful customer reviews to read and if you click on their links, I get a small commission if you end up buying something there since I participate in their affiliate programs.

You can find more details about this here. But, I have no relationship with the wonderful McClain's Printmaking Supplies and the opinions below are my own. Some of the best options in this category of tools are the classic, all-in-one Speedball Linoleum Cutter and relatively inexpensive gouges like Power Grip tools.

The most basic, versatile and inexpensive tool is the Speedball Linoleum Cutter. This is sometimes the first tool linocut artists use. If you're not familiar with this traditional tool, it works with six interchangeable blades that store in the plastic handle. The available cutters are:.

The metal blades are replaceable when they get dull, though, I sharpen them many times before recycling them. This is a video of me carving a tree in a linoleum block with this type of cutter. I like these simple tools made in Japan by Mikisyo. Power Grip carving tools come with sharpenable steel blades and fit really nicely in the hand.

I use a range of "U" and "V" gouges, as well as a small straight chisel for woodcuts and skew knife. These are a step up in quality over the Speedball Linoleum Cutter and must be sharpened with a water stone , honing block and honing compound , like all the other tools mentioned below.

These tools will last a long time but need periodic sharpening and carve very smoothly, often with less effort, when sharp. Usually, you will save some money if you buy them as part of a set. At this price level, you're having to make a bigger investment in your art practice.

Therefore, before investing in a set, I recommend buying or borrowing one tool first to see how you like it. Ask yourself questions like:. How does it carve my particular type of lino or material of choice? Glue these onto the wooden parts.

In each of these parts drill a hole the width of the screw. Assemble as in the fig on the right. Clamps Lining clamp The lining clamps, 40 of them, are used in the gluing of the linings. Again, these are usual wooden clothes pins, reinforced with standard rubber band and the tips removed, for a tighter, more precise grip. Bass bar clamp This wooden clamp is used to fix the bas bar in position while it is being glued onto the top plate.

You can buy a set of metal bass bar clamps or you can make a set of five, as depicted in the fig in the middle. C clamp A set of about 5 of these is a must. You will use them in various tasks, ie. Make sure these are quality stuff.

Measuring tools Steel ruler A 30 cm steel ruler serves as a all purpose tool. Vernier caliper Dividers These are used along with the compass, to transfer some of the measurements onto the wood. I usually use the compass for this, but you may find that good dividers mark a spot more precisely and the marks don't wear off so easily. Compass The locked type with adjustable radius via a Pfeil Gouges Chart Review screw is preferable. Thicknessing caliper Used to measure the thickness of the plates during their graduation.

On the right side, you have got the standard thicknessing caliper which you can buy or you can make one yourself, buying just the measuring unit. To make the thicknessing caliper yourself, attach the measuring unit to a wooden construction, positioning its tip against an adjustable screw. Reamers and shapers Peg hole reamer Reams the peg holes to an exact angle. Peg shaper Serves to create the exact conical shape on the peg which must match the one reamed in the peg box using the peg hole reamer, see above.

It should have adjustable blades, and a fine adjustment is necessary to make sure the resulting peg, when inserted into the peg hole has maximum contact with it. Also, well adjusted blades prevent the tearing of the ebony wood while shaving the peg. Bending tools Bending iron An iron heated to ca C, helps you bend ribs, the purfling and the linings. A type with a thermostat may be helpful, but with practice, you will recognize the correct temperature by yourself.

The self-made bending irons are of great variety. You can go as basic as a mm diameter pipe, heated up by a heat gun or a welding iron. Building a bending iron yourself, the resulting device should meet some minimum requirement. Should be able to get to the desired temperature relatively quickly, and should be able to stay there for reasonable time.

The surface of the iron should be of optimal radius and it should not stain the wood.
