I often get asked about what tools I own or what tools people should buy. I don’t tell people what tools to buy, rather I tell them that they need to find what works for them. People put different importance levels on different tools. Budgets for tools can often dictate purchases. All I can say is try them out. Figure out if it’s a tool they will be using often or a tool that they will rarely use. For me, my table saw and cordless drills get used the most. For others it may be a bandsaw & a lathe. Here is a list of some of the more significant items I have that make it possible for me to do what I love so much. Most of the links are Amazon.com affiliate links & if you order anything through those links it helps support what I do. Even if you buy a different product from the actual link itself. If you have any questions about any tools you have seen me use and/or it is not on the list, let me know, I will add it.
