Spoiler: Answers

(1) Spade*
(2) Shovel*
(3) Lathe
(4) Shavehook
(5) Axe

(6) Adze
(7) Splitting Maul
(8) Plane
(9) Fencing/Post Maul
(10) Sledgehammer

* = These are the tools' names, excluding the US and Canada. From what I can gather, they are supposed to be the other way round in the US and Canada, but people often/usually use both names for either tool. It's the phenomenon I commented on in this thread again. If you speak US/Canadian English, and named (1) and (2) spade and shovel either way around you can have two marks. You only get one if you called them both spade or both shovel though.

The pass mark is 6/10 - how did you do?

Nah. If you aren’t around them, how and why should you know what they are? If ts would have asked if we knew them AND how to properly use them too, those numbers would most likely shrink by a good amount. Mine certainly would.

TBF I've seen all of them IRL except for post maul but didn't know the names of the other three. Now that I think of it, I might even have played with a hand plane when I was 5 or 6 because my dad had one in the garage but I just couldn't remember what it was called.

Same. Been around all of these in trades and in childhood, but haven’t used all of them. Never did any real word working or carpentry Took a fingernail off with a lathe, but that’s where it starts and ends.

Number 8 is a plane, not a planer. A planer is a machine to thickness wood. A plane essentially does the same thing as well as smooths but by hand. The one shown is Stanley Bailey number 5 jack plane
