We have proposed novel interaction devices for various operations in mixed reality (MR) space; ToolDevice that uses a metaphor of real-life tools which are familiar in everyday life. Such tools have good affordance, and at the same time, every user already has a mental model for their operation. These advantages not only guide users to the correct operation, but provide an intuitive operation. In the first example, we developed TweezersDevice for pick and move manipulations. In this paper, we introduce Knife/HammerDevice for modeling operations as a second device. We describe that the details and woodworking system using it as a pilot test.
