10 Tools Every Woodworker Should Own

Рет қаралды 1,284,752

Күн бұрын

Welcome back everyone!. This week I wanted to highlight 10 tools that I currently have in my shop that I think ever woodworker should not only know about, but should own. I often get asked about tools that I have, or get asked how I feel about certain tools. Now, most people that have either been following me or are subscribed to me know that I am a huge supporter of Festool. However, just because I use a lot of their tools, that does not mean that I do not have less expensive tools that are a necessity to my daily work in the shop. This video is my attempt to highlight some of those tools. I took some time to figure out what 10 things I would recommend people invest in that would help with overall efficiency and productivity in the shop.
If you want to find out more about the tools that I talk about in this video, or purchase them for your own shop, I will leave links below to all of these tools. To be clear, I am in no way sponsored by any of these companies, or backed by any company for that matter. I simply want to share with all of you what tools, that don't cost an arm and a leg, have made the most drastic difference for me. These are all items that I truly believe in.

Love this book! kzfaq.infoUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

Excellent curation! Pro woodworker and trim carpenter 45 years here. I use most on your list and would add two: Starrett 6" rule No. C604 RE and Woodpecker 4" Aluminum Delve Square. I am never without these on my person. C604 RE has end markings to 1/2" for setting up bits and blades, and it is exactly 3/4" wide, extremely useful for trim carpentry. The combination of matte finish and deep black long-lasting etching makes it perfectly legible in all lighting conditions, better than any other rule I have ever seen. The 4" (original) aluminum Delve Square is so compact it can fit in your pants pocket, and the precise thicknesses of its flanges provide instant gauges for 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", and 3/4". The design also enables it to act as a saddle square at both 90 and 45 degs for marking face and edge at once. Plus, it has precise pencil gauge holes 1/8" o.c. and, less useful for my work, typical speed-square style angular markings every 5 degs. Tremendous functionality in a bite-size form factor. (IMO more useful than the fancier and bulkier stainless steel successor later released.)

As someone who just got a shop apron for Father's Day, I can testify to how much more efficient I am having that apron with the things I used to spend time finding once I put it down. It takes a bit to get the habit built up, but once you are used to pulling the pencil and ruler out of the apron to mark where you want to cut, and put it back, it's so worth it. I don't know what I would do without a shop apron now. Love the video, and seeing the items you are putting into that apron is helpful so I can load mine up with the tools that will continue to make my time even more efficient in the shop. Keep up the good work, Jason!

Hi Anne, a good starter kit could include an adjustable square-it will make you think about measuring in a different way (relative dimensioning). Perhaps a really sharp marking knife; 1 short and 1 long steel ruler. 3 chisels-get some old ones and practice sharpening them, which brings me onto sharpening-maybe a 1000 or 1200 diamond sharpening plate-these are easy to use and stay flat, a no 4 or no 5 plane, again old ones are great. Most important is an engineers square. These are just the metal ones. Get 2 if you can, one small, one big. Enjoy!

A guy I used to work with had an apron similar to yours. People thought he "looked like a dork" . Not me. I've been meaning to get one - especially for inside work simply due to the fact that an ordinary toolbelt has the hammer on the side among other tools. The apron keeps most tools you need to have from bumping into the homeowners furniture . I can't count how many times I've bang a fancy coffee table with my hammer swinging all over the place while carrying in a piece of lumber or other items. Great video. Subscribed

The motor was not working when I bought it. I got the motor fixed for $155 . I use it for ripping and my dado blades. The third saw is a Bosch work site and I bought it new.

Jason Bent: After seeing so many negative comments directed your way, I feel compelled to give you a thumbs-up in support. Most of the woodworking videos I see on KZfaq have at least something to teach me, and this one is no exception. Whether to acquire a particular tool you have recommended is a decision each viewer can make for him or herself. Decades ago, after I bought an old house, I had to go to books to search for information on how to do various repairs and projects. Sometimes there simply was not much info readily available on certain topics. But these days I am amazed at all the online info covering just about any topic I want to explore. Some videos are more helpful than others, but none of them costs me anything to watch, and I am free to stop watching whenever I want. I am very appreciative for content providers like yourself, who are willing to put their time and energy into sharing their knowledge with others. It must be a huge downer to make the effort to put out a video, and then have to endure an onslaught of critical comments. But hopefully there is enough positive stuff coming your way to make the effort worthwhile. Thanks again!

Hiriser15 I am happy that you appreciate that this guy is willing to put his time and energy into sharing knowledge with others; I wonder if he would be so willing to spend all that time and energy if he wasn't paid by these manufacturers handsomely to advertise their products. Be realistic; the guy is paid to promote and advertise these brand names and I don't blame him for that, I would do the same if I was paid, wouldn't you? Just join the real world my friend; this is advertising in a very cunning form to brainwash gullible people. If he was genuine he would have mentioned other brands that are just as good as the ones he advertises at a fraction of the cost. Sorry to burst your bubble but this is the real world.

John Robinson to start, I am not paid or sponsored by any company at all. I have never received free tools from any company. Everything in my videos I paid for with money I made building client pieces. The reason I didn’t show less expensive tools is because I don’t have them anymore. I’m sorry that you think that I am just blabbing about tools that I was paid to blab about. Thank you for your input.

@johnrobinson1020 5 жыл бұрын

Bents Woodworking; at least you have the decency to respond to my comments however, you do get monetary reward from Utube. I see no reason to mention brand names unless you compare product with product. I have used Festool tools and found them to be no better than some of the much cheaper tools on the market. You mention $300 as though it is not much money but to some folk, it is a lot of money and so is $100 to some. You are absolutely pointing viewers toward purchasing the brands that you mention. It is hard to accept your word that you are not paid by the manufacturers or you have not received tools from them as payment for your advertising their products and I find this hard to believe as most guys in your position do receive these products to assess and make a video on their performance and promote them. In Australia the brands you mention are quite expensive and you will not buy them for a hundred dollars or less; we have cheaper tools that in my opinion, do the job equally as well as the more expensive ones. One of the cheaper brands in this country comes with a 5 year replacement warranty and none of the top priced brands will offer the same warranty ;most of them offer a "repair" warranty and not a replacement. You have to realise that there are many woodworkers who are not as fortunate as yourself being able to afford tools that cost up to $300 and consider that price bracket as affordable by everyone which is not the case. Maybe you should mention that there are many brands of tools that can do the job equally as well as the big brand names at a much lower price. You have to admit these manufacturers, through their advertising have created an image of their tools that the consumer is to believe they are the best, so the price is hiked up accordingly. I am not having a go at you because you are able to afford the higher priced items but I think you should mention in this video that consumers should do their research and look around before making a purchase and they could save big bucks. I realise that some consumers are guided by price alone and believe that the more you pay for something, the better the item is; This mindset has been embedded in the consumers mind by clever manufacturers advertising and brainwashing them into believing this is true and once this idea is set in their mind, they will not change their mindset and always believe the more you pay the better the item. Thank you for replying to my comments.

I'm a regular wearer of overalls for much the same reasons. Those Kreg spacers look nice, but I've had appropriate- sized bars of square key-stock for those purposes for a long time. They work fine, and were cheap.

Great video, thank you sir! And thank you for your service! I had seen this video once before, and just got a woodcraft giftcard for Christmas, so decided to revisit it. Like others, in no way can I afford a lot of high dollar tools at this juncture in my life, but I am slowly building my woodworking shop and appreciate all the knowledge I can benefit from. I can make do with cheaper versions when need be (got a $35 tool apron this year, b/c of this vid) but I will always be looking for the day when I can afford something nicer, for I can tell the lack in quality. Got a book on the Why and How of woodworking, and can tell it alone will make me a better woodworker by helping me check my approach to woodworking. It should be something we take time and pride in. Nice tools make the work all that much more enjoyable. And that is what I want in the shop. An enjoyable, reflective experience, that makes me a better person, in the end. I am a construction worker who currently uses mostly Ryobi tools! And they are fine, for now, ...got the right angle drill attachment too ;-). Someday I hope to upgrade, but I'm in no rush, and I am learning to appreciate you guys who already have the festool stuff :-) I can and will get the Kreg set up bars with my giftcard, however...tired of using my tape measure to set up my table saw!

I bought on like it years ago when they first came out specifically for this reason. It can position at any angle 360 degrees around the chuck and be at 90 degrees from it. Some 20 plus years ago they made a plastic housing one you could adjust even the angle to the chuck from zero to 90 and even back to you another 30.

Make your own set up blocks, save a ton of money. Pin nailer is a good buy but buy a multi use nailer. Right angle attachments are easy to counter by planning. It's good if you are repairing. Otherwise, plan your build. The clamps, buy them all. Ask for clamps for Christmas. You need 10 to 15 long ones, and 5 to 10 short ones. The hold down clamp is not required. If you need one, you are using your mitre saw wrong. The stock guides are not required. You can make a jig out of scrap that does the same thing. I like the tiny T but use a caliper. Card scraper is a must, practice with it. Pask makes one out of a saw blade. Check his out. The square is a must. I like the starret. Shop aprons protect your clothes.

You are both are right! A pro needs to think, "In the time I'm making a tool, is time I'm not earning money." So for them buying anything that makes them more productive is great. As a hobbyist I'm thinking I could make the equivalent of a Grrriper and save money. As a pro I'd be wasting several hours that I could be making more money than the price of a GRRRiper. If I was a full time pro I'd have a CNC router but for me it is just a wild dream. If I have repeated parts I make a template. Takes more time but a lot less bucks.

How does kick back happen on a miter saw? I understand table saw but miter? Really?

@bentswoodworking 5 жыл бұрын

J E good question. A kickback on a miter saw happens when the wood moves and their pieces will pinch the blade which if you’re using a sliding miter saw will cause the sought to kick out towards you. On a compound miter Saul it will sometimes caused the blade and the whole unit to kick upwards. I hope that makes sense

@MintStiles 5 жыл бұрын

It actually happens more often than you think. It has to do with the location of your blade, especially on wider stock, where the backside of the blade will catch as it comes back upwards. On a poorly setup (or quality) sliding compound this can potentially be more of a problem, as the back edge of the saw will contact the workpiece and off-cut (often the one that gets shot out). but it will happen even on a non-sliding saw - the effects are just as dangerous and embarrassing.

@@SnootchieBootchies27 I walk into a store or go online and I see dozens of different hammers. Some of them I can identify, others I can't. I watch videos about woodworking and I see three or four or five different hammers in use, not always with much explanation of why. But I never see a basic claw hammer, sledge, or ball peen hammer in use, which is what most of us have around the house. In fact, professionals have largely abandoned the basic hammer in favor of nail guns, but that's a decently large expense for a homeowner or beginning hobbyist. An expert could easily make a 10+ minute video explaining the uses for different hammers and which are the most important to have around, which are more specialized, and which are conveniences that you can still do good work without. Some channels have done that for planes, saws, chisels, even table saw blades. Thinking on it though, I can't recall seeing one specifically for hammers.

Spot on about the Pin Nailer! Best tool I ever added (9 years ago)! Right angle drill attachment a necessity.. I'm more partial to a Sheet metal shop square - MUCH cheaper than either tool you showed.. and every bit as accurate. Also, while I agree with the apron, I mostly use a carpenter's tool belt.. holds more tools, and can set up with different config's as the job at hand requires - but, yes, great to have everything at a quick grab! The only tool you didn't mention that is an absolute necessity for me is the Wixey Digital Angle finder.. literally NO guesswork on critical bevels in the table saw anymore! The only other tool I recommend is a VERY high end blade for both table and chop saws. Critical to have smooth cuts, and prevent the "drag" that a dull blade creates (dangerous). Next addition will be the Jess em's.. bit beyond the budget at the moment..
