Wood Working Tools in the Kitchen?

[Jim Koepke]

Poor Mr. Grace, he thought woodworkers would love his tool idea.

Seems the cooks like it better.

I was actually surprised when I saw microplane files in a woodworking magazine... I thought they had crossed over from the kitchen to the shop, not the other way around.

That said, I do use other "tools" in my kitchen... A spring loaded pair of needlenose pliers is the greatest tool I've found for removing pin bones from fish... And I keep a clean cheapo stanley 1.5" chisel up there for breaking up large amounts of coverture chocolate.

Yea, we have various sizes and shapes in the kitchen that rival those in my shop. Funny...this same conversation came up this week in the Horse forum I spend time yammering in, too. Folks there, outside of one moderator who is a woodworker, didn't know about the woodworking angle... :)

I don't have any in the shop. SWMBO has a nice set in the kitchen. Got caught one day with my hand in that cookie jar, heading to the shop. Just a few more steps and I would have made it.

Jim - I can understand shaping wood with 'em. I have observed the manufacture of lemon peel zest with 'em. What I can't understand is what you do with one to a horse?????

Well, I know you meant the other Jim, but some of my nicer rasps are for working on horse's hooves.

LOL. The thread at the horse forum is also in OT and is about favorite kitchen tools. Nothing to do with horses in that context...

I know what you mean. Tearout on marbled meat can be awful with straight knives.

Jim K,

I'll have you know I had to clean my screen off when I read that title. Ijust walked in from the shop with an arm load of steak knife that I'm shaping the scales on and I have a few still clamped up on the dining room table. You sure you ain't got a camera peeking through my windows.:D
