Here I've taken a pic of some tools I like to use.
Believe it or not the Dremel at the top of the screen gets more use sharpening the chisels than cutting wood. But the key-less chuck is a must for me.
Below the red dremel box is a spoke shave. Its old but sharp and trusty. Next to it on top of some Koa molding I found is a micrometer/caliper, it comes in handy.
The Axe is more for effect. I tried the Crazy Al approach to hacking a log and found the hatchet is best used in stripping the bark from a log only.
Ah the handy Saw is under it, no explanation needed, just elbow grease. I've found for finer cuts the little coping saw or the Japanese saw(not pictured) works best for me.
the 1 inch flat chisel gets the most use on the larger stuff while the x-actos to the left of the little, monkeypod guy work great on small stuff.

and last but not least the 4 in 1 hand rasp/file and the emery boards/finger nail files. I got the finger nail file idea from Ben and they work great.

Thanks
