What about chisels, planes, hand saws (of which there are 100 types)? And, as one other commenter mentioned, a workbench, or tools and materials to make one. And it needs good work-holding features, including a planing stop. One more thing. I learned woodworking from an old master. I asked what tools I should get to start His advice was to get sharpening equipment. No one mentioned sharpening equipment yet. And what about a band saw? It was my third stationary tool, after a table saw and a drill press (oops; I neglected to mention the lathe, but that’s a separate matter).

Hold off on the table saw and get a mittersaw. The circular saw cam do the same as table saw for the most part. Also you dont need an impact for woodworking. Get a drill/driver.

Love this video. I have most everything (and more) except the table saw. Just not space for it. Thankfully my uncle lives 12 minutes away and has a 600 sq ft shop 😅 Ran into a weird thing with my ryobi OnePlus circular saw today... It did not want to cut all the way through a 2x4, left just a little bit of material underneath despite being adjusted all the way. I wonder if the OEM blade is THAT bad. I'll be getting a diablo soon anyway.

Something that always seems to get missed on these lists is bits. You have a drill and a driver, but no bits for it. Router, but no bits. You can get ones that are reasonably inexpensive (good for a beginner), but that will add to the cost.

It was thinking something similar, but this is a list of tools. Bits would be considered accessories. But that would be another great video for beginners.

@1steelcobra 11 ай бұрын

For drill and drive bits DeWalt makes pretty solid ones at a low price. Project Farm's tests of their drill bits hasw them consistently come up pretty close in performance to really expensive ones. You can get a pretty comprehensive 30-piece impact bit set for $10 and a 21-piece drill bit set ranging 1/16th to 1/2" for $20. So $30 for a pretty good head start on your tools.

@Deftallica9 11 ай бұрын

I would argue that a miter saw is essential for a beginning woodworker, more so than a table saw. Just speaking from my personal experience, while the table saw is unquestionably the more versatile and essential of the two, it’s also more intimidating and, again speaking for myself, I hesitated to use it quite a lot when I began a little over a year ago. During that time I leaned heavily on a little Craftsman sliding miter saw that ran on their V20 battery line (this was also because I’m in an apartment garage with only 1 outlet). With that saw I made several smaller scale projects and some shop furniture both for my home shop and for my boat shop parts room at work. I also recently became a student of Steve Ramsey’s Weekend Woodworker course, which doesn’t incorporate a table saw until the third project. My wife enjoys helping me build things but even now doesn’t use the table saw. Sorry to ramble on, but I guess the point I’m trying to make is that plenty can be made with a miter saw, and I view it as a workhorse, at least in my shop. And it is a great entry point for someone who wants to create but is hesitant to jump right in using a table saw.

@j10001 10 ай бұрын

True. It’s easy to forget how intimidating these things can be when starting out! Even my Ryobi miter saw scared the b’jeebies out of me the first 20 times I pulled the power trigger button. It gave me a very healthy respect for the power and danger of these tools.

@richardseabright448 10 ай бұрын

Track saw, Band Saw, thickness planer. Add in a drill press and some quality hand tools and you've got a shop. A cheap table saw is not a good idea unless you are into carpentry. For fine woodwork it is pretty much useless. You don't need it until you need one and a portable is not going to do the job.

@Biggins81 9 ай бұрын

Love the list except the table saw. My reasoning for that is you can get some very inexpensive clamps and track from Amazon and make several jigs for the circular saw that will be just as good as a table saw and a bit safer as you can clamp most pieces and not have your hands near anything. Once you have an understanding of tools and how to use them then I would step up to a table saw. Just my opinion as that is basically what I did as I didn’t have the budget or space for a table saw and the jigs can be hung on a wall out of the way.

MANY times you can find the power tools at pawn shops, facebook marketplace, thrift stores. I bought a Porter Cable buscuit jointer for $25 at goodwill, 6 hp Shop Vac brand shopvac for $25 at Habitat for Humanity Store. Shop vacs are common to thrift stores, I've picked up several and use them for dust collection. At a Pawn Shop I picked up that Dewalt / drill impact with charger and 2 batteries for $80. I also picked up a craftsman 10 inch table saw with a cast iron top $60 off of Facebook marketplace. I spotted a Dewalt 735 planer for $200 from a 2nd hand tool shop. Ryobi Drill press for $80. Just last week I saw a craftsman table saw in Habitat For Humanity store for $100, and a craftsman router table (with router) for $40. Shop around before you buy new.

I would recommend a Kreg AccuCut with the expansion pack. When you mate it with the circular saw, you get a very useful tool. Once I got one, I was able to make much more accurate cuts on larger pieces than I can trying to wrestle them through my contractor size table saw. Every time I use it, I think about the value to cost ratio. It is excellent.

I agree with your list, but I'm surprised that the self-proclaimed "pocket-hole king" didn't mention a pocket-hole system. Just saying :) I TOTALLY agree with putting the table saw ahead of the miter saw. The first thing I bought was a miter saw. I gave it away within a month of getting my table saw. Never used it any more. Also, haven't missed it since I got rid of it. Table saw does it all and I can use the space that the miter saw was occupying for other stuff now. I've been a subscriber and big fan for over a year; keep on keeping on!!

hey id actually recommend the bessey quick clamps over the irwin ones, as they come in a set of 4 like the irwin, (2x6inch, 2x12inch) but can also be used as a spreader. the spreader is useful for glue ups if u don't have a lot of longer clamps, because you can take a 2x4, attach a small block to one end with some screws, then about 5-6 inches longer that your glue up, add another block. make a few of these and then place your glue up on them, then use your spreaders to apply the clamping force. I probably wouldnt recommend this for higher end woodworking, but in a pinch it will probably do. you could also use the 2x4 clamp things to hold longer pieces together. Great video man!

The DWE7485 comes at a great price but there are two problems with it - the knob to adjust blade height does not stay put throughout the cut. The knob rotates as the saw vibrates and settles with the habdle in the downward position causing blade height to change during dado cuts. The other problem is that the saw can't be put into an outfeed table because of the way DeWalt has designed the handles

These are good recommendations, but if you are a beginning woodworker, then I do NOT recommend either a table saw or a trim router. I say this as someone who, for the first ten years or so of my woodworking adventure, did not own either tool, yet I was able to build some very nice, useful projects (to be clear, I'm not recommending that you wait as long as I did for these purchases). Both of these tools, honestly, can be very intimidating to a newbie. Forget the spinning blades and bits that appear to be coming for your fingers; the noise alone is enough to ruin a good pair of shorts. I would instead suggest, in addition to the circular saw, a jig saw; I know that many dislike them, but with the quality tool and good blades, they can be very useful. I would also point to the HomeMade Modern channel run by Ben Uyeda, who rarely uses a table saw and finds clever ways to cut with the grain, all while making eye-popping modern home furnishings.

I agree, pocket hole jig… and a jig saw for curved cuts. Maybe downgrade the clamps to the HF clamps to save some $$ for a jig saw.

I started off with a Ryobi combo kit that came with 2 1.5mah batteries and a charger, a tote bag, a 5 1/2 circular and driver and drill, and included a free tool only pick from a limited selection which I chose a jig saw with (I regret this choice, I’d have been much happier with the multi tool had I had any idea what that thing did). Anyways I walked away with all that for less than $300CAD. I grabbed my old Stanley tape measure and 12” level from when my wife and I were hanging pictures. My next purchase was a speed square with scribe helpers, I went “big budget” with this one knowing it’d last forever and got a beautiful Milwaukee one, a set of carpenter pencils, a set of calipers, and a right edge all for about $70CAD together After building a Saw horse and knowing I was going to be building exterior structures and garden ties, I opted to run out and grab a miter saw next and walked away with a corded Ryobi 10” sliding compound which I really love ❤️ I then took the opportunity to grab a combo square and a set of bessey trigger clamps. Got all that for $250CAD Friend of mine donated to me a 48” empire straight edge 🙏 Just yesterday my first Kreg purchase arrived, which is a rip cut guide for circular saws. Though I hope to grab that DeWalt Table Saw one day, I checked out the Ryobi one and I agree that that fence is trash :( Anyways I’m about $750CAD into this new hobby and I need to start justifying it by building a $35 night stand my wife found on Amazon 😂 Next up on my list of things to get is a proper orbital sander. And I’m thinking the corded Milwaukee has my name on it

@LinoBarraza 11 ай бұрын

😂, That $35 nightstand will end up costing you more by building it! My wife has been asking me to buy a new dining room table years ago. Last year I finally got around to building it since it's cheaper than buying it.... Although it was cheaper, it did cost more as I bought more tools I "needed" for the project. Now I will be building a Corona Coffee Table next. That is whenever I have the actual time to buy the materials.

@@LinoBarraza man I hear ya on that haha Trying to find the sheet goods to replicate will almost put me about even But I also find the tools to be a fun investment into opening doors of possibilities, so I don’t count that towards the “building the nightstand” “cost” as it were (if I did, I’d drive myself insane 😂)

Is it just me or am I the only one who has never used a tape measure in wood working?

@davidkantor7978 11 ай бұрын

You’re not alone. I don’t use a tape measure for woodworking; I use various kinds of rulers, including a folding rule. A tape measure is for carpentry; woodwork is different. But a tape measure is good for other things, as I noted. Also, get a 16-foot tape. The standard that most people use us 25 feet. With that, you are lugging around extra bulk and weight that you hardly ever need. It may be good to have a25-foot tape for when you need it, but for 99% of the time, a smaller tape is much more convenient.

OK. The verdict is in. I got my five tools from Temu in China. Took about a week to get them. This is what I got and what I think. Five rolls of green tape. $5.84. I thought it would be like Frog Tape. It wasn't and the rolls were tiny. A rip off. Ten little flat brushes with blue handles. Smaller than expected, but they were OK for 83 cents. Combination Square, inches, yellow. $5.59. Excellent for the money. Red Aluminum Precision measuring ruler. 12". $7.98 Accurate. Good for the price. Carpenter's Speed Square, Aluminum. 3.99 Worth the money. So, my final verdict is, you have to be careful. Do not buy tape. The rest was fine and arrived in 6 days. They flew it direct to NJ, and then delivered it from there to my house by ground, about 100 miles away.

@scottsimpey2965 11 ай бұрын

Decent start but the drill, driver, and router aren’t going to be much good without anything for bits and a reasonably good set of drill bits can cost around $75 or so alone and then to consider your standard set of driver bits and even a simple 6 piece router bit set. That could easily be near $250 if not more.
