wood working for mere mortals


I made this bench out of scraps from his website. The deck is some oak boards from a pallet and the legs and base are from some scrap 2x4s. Everything is glued together. 2 coats of polyurethane on it.

I got this in a text yesterday and lol'd.



Back on topic, I think a table saw is essential large power tool. After that a chop/miter saw them a router w/ table. Then a planer. With those you can build pretty much anything.

Essential small power tools would be a power sander, a drill, a jig saw, and a skill saw.

Clamps are also essential. I use the Irwin pistol style but want to get some pipe clamps as well for larger applications.

On my horizon are a band saw and drill press. I want them but haven't had a need for them yet. Maybe this year I'll get one or both.

I try to plan projects around getting a new tool. And once I get one, I end up using it on almost every project.
And last but certainly not least is a pocket hole jig. I use my simple kreg jig on almost every project.
