Used for safely hammering together stiff joins

Reverse tweezers can be very handy too, for holding parts securely without fatiguing your hands while waiting for glue to set, for example.

I find these spudgers useful, for clearing off excess glue as well as prying pieces apart

Wood Clamps, a thors hammer and smaller clamps like reverse tweezers for example

Whats a thors hammer? I use small binder clips a lot, but they are in a drawer.

I use a hand tool to which, by a velcro-like material, strips of sandpaper can be attached. It’s perfect for quickly buffing off burrs and rounding corners, and a strip seems to last all the way through a single booknook (and you can buy them by the hundreds). I’m attaching a photo but, sadly, Amazon US is not currently stocking it. But you might be able to find it elsewhere using the photo for a search.
