If you are building or renovating a traditional type of boat there are a few specialist boatbuilding tools you may need. On traditionally built boats many of the fastenings were of copper nails and roves. This is still an excellent method of fastening. It can be done with a hammer and any solid lump of metal. However having the correct 'dolly' and 'rove punch' will simplify the job. Anyone intending to caulk a carvel planked boat will need caulk ing irons.
For the restorer who intends to re-caulk an old boat raking irons will be needed to rake out the old caulking. You can never have too many clamps. A clamp is like a third hand. Several are the equivalent of a troop of slaves but more politically correct. Clamps come in such a variety of types, everything from the ubiquitous G clamp to spring loaded and specialist clamps.
There are several simple clamps especially useful to have among the boatbuilding tools which can be easily made to measure. If you are not using professionally drawn plans or working from a kit you do need to have some sort of plan of you project. A Sliding Bevel is similar to the Try Square except that it can be adjusted to any angle then locked in place. Marking Gauges, pencils and scribers will be needed to transfer your cutting lines onto the wood.
Power tools such as Jig and circular saws will take the tedium and effort out of long saw cutting. A wooden Carpenters Mallet is indispensable for those jobs where a metal hammer would be too hard.
Bevel-edged chisels kept finely sharp are perfect for paring and cleaning out waste from joints. Mortise chisels are designed for heavy duty jobs where an ordinary bench chisel would be too weak or would jam in the cut. Carving chisels come in an infinite variety of shapes and sizes. However, it is possible these days to get away with one driver with multiple, detachable heads. A powered screwdriver is not only handy if you have a lot of screws to insert, but it also drives the screws smoothly reducing the danger of sheering.
More on Bench Planes. Wooden bodied planes can still be bought however, the metal variety are more common and they are much easier to set and adjust. A small Block Plane is the absolute minimum anyone should have among their boatbuilding tools.
The durable rubber pad conforms to the curve of the hull, can be used with wet or dry sandpaper, and makes changing paper a snap.

Fillet Tools - Set of Six You can't build a stitch-and-glue boat without epoxy fillets. An epoxy fillet pronounced "fill-it," as in "fill that corner up," not fill-LAY, as in "filet of fish" is one of the most common procedures in a stitch-and-glue boatbuilding Epoxy Mixing Cups - Quart These Quart 32oz sized graduated mixing cups are what we use for mixing epoxy in our shop.
Each cup has calibrated markings for accurate measuring. Mix and measure your epoxy in one container with the ratio Save when buying by the case! At CLC we use these for just about everything, especially epoxy work, but also contact cement, primer paint, and spreading silicone caulk.

He also, on a day-to-day basis, likes to explore all surroundings for their imagined possibilities, and can't help but get his hands working with tools and materials to create just for the joy of it. There's a world of tools we can buy to build the boats of our dreams. Machines, power tools, and cordless tools can be extremely useful in doing work quickly and efficiently.
However, in this workshop we will learn how to skillfully and effectively use the most basic "been around forever" hand tools--handsaws, chisels, planes, drills, screwdrivers, marking and measuring squares and gauges, and more. When it comes to hand tools, older can certainly mean better.
