hint

I was going to post the answer then I thought of another tool that almost qualifies as the answer but not quite. The other tool produces a 'chime' and something else that is also the name of the tool. This is actually a hint.

A plumb bob makes plumb lines, a chalk line makes chalked lines, a straight edge finds straight edges, and a mortiser makes mortises.

Answer to the hint

The answer to the hint is a 'howel' which makes a chime and a howel.

Are you saying your a woodworking TOOL?

Ask your kids if you want to refer to yourself as a "tool" :-)

I think it has a negative connotation in today's vernacular.

Answer

You folks had some good responses but the tool I was looking for is used in barrel making and it is called a "croze" and it produces the kerf on the ends of the barrels to hold the barrel heads and the kerf is called a 'croze'.

Re: Answer

Isn't the tool that makes a quirk called a quirk? (per the answer above.)

Re: What is the only woodworking tool...

Dictionary of Tools

Hate to burst your bubble, but the tool you are refering to is properly called a "cooper's croze plane". Most people would drop the cooper's and some would drop the plane.

Oxford Universal Dictionary

Croze - The groove at the ends of cask staves, etc., also, the tool for making it.
