If your Mom is a woodworker, then this is the perfect Mother’s Day gift guide to help you shop. She’ll love anything you get for her on this list. Looking to build something for your Mom? Check out this gift guide instead!
Graph Gear 1000 $9.99
This mechanical pencil is popular with all the major woodworking influencers, and with good reason. Mom will appreciate the robust construction and a retractable tip that prevents damage from dropping.
The Guide to Woodworking with Kids $19.95
Woodworking is often a generational hobby, being passed down time and time again. This book is the perfect way to facilitate that transfer of knowledge from mom to her kids (or grandkids).
Blue Spruce Card Scrapers $21.99+
Card scrapers are a useful part of a hand tool woodworker’s arsenal, and these new ones from Blue Spruce Toolsworks might be some of the best money can buy. They’re thick, well-designed, and perfect for smoothing an unruly surface.
Bessey GearKlamp $28.69 (24″ model)
The GearKlamp is designed to reach into places that just aren’t possible with an average bar clamp or f-clamp. The bar slides through the handle allowing the jaws to reach into the clamping space without compromising the ability to use the handle.
Toughbuilt StackTech $29.99+
If Mom needs a place to store her tools, look no further than the new Toughbuilt StackTech system. We’ve been testing this system around the shop and are super-impressed at how well thought-out it is.
SUIZAN Japanese Pull Saw $40.80
A Japanese-style pull saw is one of the most useful saws in a woodworker’s arsenal of tools. Mom can use it for dovetails, flush cutting, and much much more.
IRWIN Marples Forstner Bit Set $54.98
Forstner bits are a great way to bore large-diameter holes in wood without all pain of using a spade bit. This set has most every size she would ever need.
ISOtunes Xtra 2.0 $89.99
Hearing protection is a must in the shop, but that doesn’t mean Mom can’t enjoy here music at the same time. The ISOtunes Xtra 2.0 features ANSI-certified 27 dB noise reduction and up to 11 hours of battery life.
Power carving is the perfect hobby for someone who doesn’t want to be stopped by the limits of standard power tools. This mini carver is great for detail work and reaching into tight spaces.
SawStop Compact Table Saw $899
This compact table saw is no slouch, impressing us when we tested it last summer. It’s the perfect centerpiece for a small shop or for someone looking for top safety features on a budget.
Special thanks to the woodworking moms who helped us with this year’s Mother’s Day gift guides, including Alma Villalobos and Char Miller-King.
