Here are some recordings of some of my basic woodwork tools. I'll try and get better recordings in the future but I share a workshop and it is rarely quiet enough to get good recordings. All recordings are me working on a piece of 25mm thick walnut timber.
Listening back has made me realise that all of these tools need sharpening!! :)
The recordings are as follows:
00:00 - 00:26
Stanley block plane fine shaving the edge of the timber.
00:28 - 01:33
Stanley 5m retractable tape measure, metal blade and plastic casing. Tape being wound out and drawn back in.
01:36 - 03:30
Milwaukee M12 battery drill. Trigger being pressed, chuck opening and closing and bits being changed. Drilling into timber. Driving screws into the timber and removing them again.
03:32 - 05:14
Lie Nielsen crosscut tenon saw cutting across the grain of the timber.
05:17 - END
General purpose wood saw 'ripping' along the grain of the timber.
This recording was made using a Sound Devices MixPre6ii and a stereo pair of FEL EM172 mics. Low cut on the SD which in basic mode is 80Hz (I think).
There is no processing to this recording other than to ‘normalize’ the levels.
I do not require any credit or attribution.
