A Stanley straight-blade draw knife and a Clifton convex-blade draw knife (necessary for Aleut paddle), very difficult to find. Float-glass flat plate and special sandpaper to sharpen the knife blades. A variety of wood clamps used to laminate strips for the paddl blades. Micrometer to get the thickness right as measured from the blade centerline.
Can provide pictures on request. And can guide you to pertinent literature. One of the recipients of one of my paddles can give you reference dimensions.
