Power Tools: table saw, band saw, table-top thickness planer, hand planer, drill, drill press, plunge router, sliding compound miter saw.
Hand Tools: chisels, saws, lots of clamps, hand planes.
The tenon are done with hand saw and chisel, but the mortises are done with a plunge router. The tenons for the straight deck beams go through the gunwales at a 25-degree angle, so I used a jig attached to the router for those mortises.
