Getting a dado, rabbet, or tenon cheek perfectly flush isn't about heroics — it's about reliable, repeatable depth control. Most router planes make you fight backlash in the adjuster, guessing your way to final depth. Blue Spruce built theirs around a thumbwheel with virtually no backlash, so you dial in your exact depth of cut without the creep or play that wastes strokes and kills momentum at the bench.

The 3-1/2" × 8-1/2" sole gives you a stable reference across the work, and the blade mechanism mounts in three positions — each with in-facing or out-facing orientation — so you can keep the sole flat and the blade where it needs to be, even in tight spots or against shoulders. Rotate the blade itself in four directions to work with the grain instead of fighting it.

Machined from ductile iron with a black-nitride finish, tight-tolerance blade travel, and a double-wedge lock that won't mar the shaft. Includes both square and spearpoint blades, backs lapped flat and polished, bevels ground and ready for final honing. Built and inspected in Strongsville, Ohio — the kind of tool that earns its spot on the bench by solving the problem cleanly, every time.

A card scraper that actually works the first time you pick it up.

Most thin scrapers fight you — they chatter, fold under pressure, need constant resharpening, and demand grip strength you don't have after an hour at the bench. Blue Spruce changes that with three thicknesses, each built for a different kind of control:

Rigid .062" — Twice as thick as standard scrapers. Holds a burr longer, rides flat without flexing, and requires less technique to get clean cuts. If you've struggled with traditional scrapers, start here.

Semi-Flex .032" — Traditional thickness, but machined from 1095 tool steel with the same radiused edges and ready-to-cut preparation. Flexes under thumb pressure for more aggressive stock removal and better control over cut depth.

Ultra-Flex .015" — Bends to fit gentle contours and concentrates the cut exactly where you need it. Ideal for working around tearout, smoothing curved surfaces, and fine detail work.

All three share the same profile: gently radiused edges that won't gouge your work or your hands, 1095 tool steel that takes and holds a burr, and edge prep that's ready to cut out of the package. No filing, no guessing, no break-in period.

Each thickness excels at certain tasks. That's why we offer them individually or as a complete set.

Keep your hand tools rust-free and ready with Blue Spruce Jojoba Oil — a natural, non-toxic oil extracted from jojoba seeds native to the American Southwest. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth protects metal surfaces, prevents oxidation, and preserves the finish on your bench tools without harsh chemicals or allergens.

Because it's non-allergenic and commonly used in hand lotions, jojoba oil is gentle on skin during application — no gloves needed. It has indefinite shelf life and excellent heat stability, so it won't turn rancid or break down over time like many other shop oils.

Beyond tool care, it's food-safe and ideal for finishing cutting boards, wooden spoons, children's toys, and kitchen utensils — anywhere you want a natural protective layer without synthetic additives.

Blue Spruce offers the oil in an 8 oz. bottle, or as a complete kit that includes the bottle, a plush microfiber towel with the Blue Spruce logo, and a wall-mountable Rack-It to keep your oil and cloth at arm's reach near your bench or sharpening station.

For deeper cleaning before oiling, pair it with SandFlex Abrasive Blocks — eraser-like blocks that conform to shapes and remove corrosion from brass, bronze, cast iron, and tool steel without gouging.

What could all these handles be for? Wrong answers only.

We're excited about something coming soon - and some eagle-eyed viewers picked up on it in a previous video!

Tenon shoulders that track around a corner without repositioning. Cross-dowel holes that actually intersect with the bolt channel. Spline slots on an octagonal box that line up cleanly on both faces.

That's what precision layout looks like when you eliminate the hand-eye guesswork of carrying a line around an edge.

Blue Spruce Folding Saddle Squares are machined straightedges with a tensioned hinge — no lateral play, smooth adjustment across the full range of angles. The critical part: both edges are milled after final assembly, guaranteeing they stay in plane as you wrap the tool from face to edge.

One placement. Both lines. No drift.

Two sizes — full (1½" × 7½") and mini (1" × 5") — each CNC-machined, anodized, laser-engraved, and inspected in Strongsville, Ohio.

When joinery layout matters — and it always does — here's what changes the game: a razor-sharp circular blade that leaves a cut line less than 1/5 the width of a pencil mark. Clean. Crisp. And because it's a cut, not just a surface mark, it gives your chisel or saw physical registration to follow.

Blue Spruce's Wheel Marking Gauge pairs that ultra-thin blade with a stainless steel reference plate more than twice the size of comparable gauges — solid tracking pressure where you need it. The micro-adjust mechanism delivers 1/16" of travel per full turn of the knurled barrel; rotating from 12:00 to 1:30 moves the blade less than two sheets of copier paper.

Two things you'll notice immediately: the ergonomic anodized aluminum body sits naturally in your hand, and the round knife cuts the same clean line no matter how you grip or angle the tool. You can roll it around an edge and keep the line continuous.

The reference plate rotates 90° for better vertical support on narrow stock. The whole gauge is machined and inspected in Strongsville, Ohio.

Blue Spruce in-DEXABLE Joiner’s Combination Squares combine a milled 90° face with traditional 1:6, 1:7, and 1:8 dovetail heads, giving you square layout and dovetail layout from the same system.

Use the square side for baselines and layout lines, then switch to the dovetail head for hand-cut tails.

Indexed blades lock at full-inch positions, while 1/16" scribing guides help mark parallel lines, router bit height, table saw blade height, and other small setup points around the bench.

Controlled Striking Power: Blue Spruce Polycarbonate Round Mallets

A clean strike starts with a mallet you can control.

When fitting joinery or bringing parts together, you need solid force delivered exactly where you intend it. Metal can be unforgiving, while rubber and urethane can introduce unwanted bounce.

Blue Spruce Toolworks Polycarbonate Round Mallets offer a refined alternative. Their dense, resilient heads pack substantial force into a compact form, while the balanced design helps you place each strike precisely.

• Polycarbonate deforms slightly on impact without shattering
• More forgiving than metal, without the bounce of rubber or urethane
• Ribbed steel tenon extends nearly the full length of the tool
• Choice of clear or black head with Cherry or Bolivian Rosewood handle
• Precisely machined and carefully inspected in Strongsville, Ohio

Blue Spruce Toolworks Polycarbonate Round Mallets.
Solid force. Precisely where you want it.

Choose the Right Flex with Blue Spruce Curved Card Scrapers

Not every scraping job wants the same amount of flex.

A rigid scraper can give you a stable, controlled cut on flatter surfaces. Add some flex, and you gain more control over how aggressively you remove material. Go thinner still, and the scraper can conform to gentle contours.

Blue Spruce 6" Curved Card Scrapers give you all three options, so you can match the feel of the tool to the work in front of you.

• .062" Rigid for flatter surfaces and easier burnishing
• .032" Semi-Flex for controlled stock removal
• .015" Ultra-Flex for adjusting cut aggressiveness and following gentle contours
• Curved profile blends the outside edges to help avoid sharp corners digging into the work
• Available individually or as a complete three-piece set

Blue Spruce 6" Curved Card Scrapers.
Choose the flex. Control the cut.
