Salami: it's funny, I was just talking to a kid trying to start woodworking. He was naming all the tools he was told he needed, and was reconsidering his decision. I told him he needed a way to measure, cut, hold, join and finish. Showed him the tools I started with (tape measure, corded Ryobi circular saw, harbor freight clamps, drill and that same Ryobi battery powered sander). I just sent him a message to watch this video. The table saw, for him, is down the road a bit, but he'll get there. Thanks for the video. Great job as always!

Salami - I'm 32 years in furniture making /Residential builder and if I had to start my tool inventory all over again and was only limited to 5 tools to start out with, here's what I would suggest. You'll require tools that will enable you to: Cut - (Circular Saw) Edge Shaping - (Router) scroll cut - (Jig Saw) sand - (Sander) wood joinery - (Pocket Hole Jig). Remember this is very basic but sufficient to get you up a well started. Proper jigs / fixtures could easily be made for ripping / cross cutting with the circular saw. As well as jigs / fixtures made for many other things like clamps, hold downs, pattern routing. A table saw is preferred but not completely necessary when first starting out. The price you'll save not purchasing say a $500 dollar table saw, at the moment, could be $500 spent on purchasing, clamps, layout tools, strait edges, Brad Nailer. I build my first set of Wilson art (plastic laminate) kitchen cabinets for a client 30 years ago. With just a circular saw & straight edge, cheap black & Decker router, corded drill and 2- 4-foot pipe clamps. I laminated the entire cabinetry with Wilson art plastic laminate. I bought me a $500 dollar Delta 10" contractors table saw after that job and subsequently to date upgraded that to my laguna F3 52" table saw. You'll upgrade as you profit, great video.

Salami - These are all great suggestions Eric. I think it is important to note. People that are on a budget should make sure to look into the 2nd hand market. Most of the time you can get an upper level tool at that low level new price. Example. I paid 800 bucks for my 3HP Unisaw with a 52" Biesemeyer Fence. Just something that some people just starting out overlook. I know I did.

Salami. Loved all your recommendations! One hint (gotten from other KZread videos) is to cut cheap wood (from 2x4s usually) to fit snugly inside the bars of the Harbor Freight longer bar clamps. Adds some weight to the bars, but keeps them from warping like shown in your video. I actually appreciate the extra weight added. Keeps them in place better! Oh, gluing sandpaper strips to the clamping surface helps to keep them from slipping under pressure... but you already knew that!

Tool snobs are for people with large wallets 😀... I always recommend for people to start cheap (I like Ryobi), and as your skills increase, and your entry level tools burn out, then go for the higher end stuff... The problem that a lot of people have is, they don't know exactly what they need, starting out, so end up buying tools they will never use.... You mentioned enjoying the smell. I started working with Padauk (a deep orange colored wood). The smell is AMAZING.

Salami: That's a good list... I would add a jigsaw and a router (if it was a top 7 list)... My first tools were a corded drill (that was a mistake to get corded), a cheap jigsaw, a cheap router, a sheet sander (also a mistake, for the reasons you stated), a Ryobi Bt-3000 tablesaw (I used it for 22 years), and a mortising machine (also a mistake, haven't used it in 20 years).... That was 22 years ago... Since, as my skills and needs increase, I have build and upgraded my tool collection... Lately, I've been using my CNC, 3d printer, and laser cutter a ton (they are a lot of fun).

I now am slowly realizing I miss some of the joy, smells and satisfaction of the hobby and have started to crawl back. Like you, this time I bought a contractors saw knowing I likely will not ever care (or be skilled enough) to have my cuts or joints within a 32nd let along 64th.

Figure out what projects you want to build and buy the tools you need for the job. Don’t just buy stuff you think you might need and never use.

I am looking to switch to a corded one.

Folding rule. Quick square. Stud finder (Stud Buddy). Hand saw. Multi-bit screwdriver. Vise grip. Channel lock. Knives - "boxcutter" and multi-tool (Leatherman). Clamps. Flashlight. Worklamps.

Salami. For years I had right handed circular saws because they are just more prevalent. As I am expanding my Ryobi One tools (send that sander my way, Eric) I picked up my first left bladed model and I love it. So much easier to control and see and the cut is exactly one inch from the edge so I just add an inch to my measurement and put down my guide clamp. Speaking of clamps, Harbor Freight's hand clamps are good investments as you mentioned. I have not tried out their longer ones but I have been pretty please with the Pittsburgh line they sell (all made in China, of course.) I had to clamp a project today and pulled a long unused pipe clamp off the wall only to discover it was rusted shut. So out comes the hammer to loosen the rear. And even then as I applied pressure it seemed to not do anything. The biggest problem I have found with pipe clamps is the pawls on the rear pipe do not catch the metal easily. So I know what I want for Christmas.

Salami, no baloney. Two years ago, way back in the NiCad days, I would have strongly disagreed with you about cordless tools. I didn't like them because when I needed them they were always dead. Lithium Ion batteries changed all of that for me as they will stay charged for months. I have now pretty much gone to lithium ion battery powered tools and am very happy. As to the pipe clamps I have several as I don't need to do big clamping jobs very often and I had the clamp parts from a business I used to own where we used them. If you are going to used them get black pipe not the galvanized pipe pictured. Galvanized pipe is too slick and the not one end won't bite so you can't get a lot of clamping force. There other down side is that they are very heavy, but if you just use them occasionally they are a low cost alternative. Keep the good stuff coming,.

Salami - I agree spend the cheese on good parallel clamps but I have 4 x pipe clamps and they provide excellent clamping pressure. So if parallel clamps are too expensive, pipe clamps is a good cheaper option.

Salami is great on pizza don't @ me! Great list; woodworker for 17 years and my first choices would be almost the same with a few different options and a swap for one of the tools: 1. Circular saw - cordless, corded, doesn't matter, just get a good one. My m18 6 1/2" fuel has done everything I need of it. 2. Drill - cordless is king here. I'd skip 12v offerings and go for a nice 18v instead; it can do things the 12v tools can't. 3. Clamps - two 6" and two 12" quick grips, four each of 6" and 12" f style clamps, four 24" aluminum bar clamps; good ones. Dubuque are amazing and are rock solid. And two 48" aluminum bar clamps. Parallel clamps down the line when woodworking becomes a more serious hobby. 4. Random orbit sander - 6" if it's in the budget, otherwise 5" variable speed. Corded. I have the m18 ros and it's just ok. 5. This is where I differ: instead of a table saw, get a good router. Not a trim router that everyone loves; a full size 2 1/4 HP router. Routers are my favorite tools in all of woodworking. 6. Optional at first, but one I consider a necessity: a jigsaw. For curved cuts or things like cutting notches, hand holds, metals (with the right blades), etc. I'd go corded here too. I have the m18 barrel grip and it's just ok to me. Hand tools are a whole other can of worms, but some I consider essential (in no particular order,): combination square, tape measure, dead blow or wooden mallet, utility knife, automatic center punch, etc. Many others, but those are some I consider essential.

Salami, hey Eric, thanks for all the tips and information as always. My big takeaway was the LT versus RT circular saw. I feel like and idiot but I never knew this, and I’m left handed! Over the years I’ve had to “make due” with right handed tools. It’s nice to see the industry is recognizing this. For example having a left handed tape measure was and awesome find for me. I actually initially struggled with reading it at first because I was so used to reading the numbers upside down! I know, I’m a mess! Which brings me to my suggestion and that a good tape measure. They are not all the same! What are your thoughts? - thank for the great videos Eric!

@SpencleyDesignCo

Sure thing! To be honest I don’t put much effort into selecting a tape measure. I just use the same on every time

Salami, the first thing is a decent hand saw, now I am not talking about a hand made settable, resharpenable saw, but also not your home DIY special either, something like a Jack, Irwin ect, or even what I am now experimenting with the Japanese saws, it may take longer, but there is nothing that you can do with a power tool, that you cant do with a hand saw, and there is plenty that you can do with a hand saw, that you cant with a powered one, and also if it is only one cut, it is often quicker to grab a hand saw, than it is to get the powered version out and plug it in :)

Salami. Loved the vid especially about your mind is very important. One that I would recommend is a router. In watching your video, you seem to be approaching this as "tools that you need to see if you want to do more" kind of thing. So, with that theme, I'd go with a palm router (the Ryobi cordless one is good for that one). You can do a bunch of edge profiles and can even get away with some dados, provided you take shallow passes with a straight edge. Not ideal but won't have to invest a ton to get that going. Of course, the "best" one is to go with a full router with a fixed and plunge cut base...but...I don't think that was the theme of the video. Great job!

Salami - Always the exception....I cannot control an orbital sander; I'm a small woman that has sustained 7 surgeries on my dominant right arm but that doesn't stop me....I love sanding! My pieces are baby-ass smooth using my fav a "corded" Bosch. I like your personality & enjoy your videos but changing paper for me is fast & I ALWAYS line-up the paper perfectly. I had 8 or 9 sanders, 2 that were orbital. My son-in-law had 0 so I gave him my orbitals. I doubt we live very close to each other but if we do I'll sand for you if you cut my wood for me. What a deal! Since my father passed away during covid I dont have any1 reliable to cut wood for me so until then I am insulating the inside roof of the garage w/free material. No, not w/normal insulating materials but instead a family friend ordered way too many yard sign (24X18) advertisements during his run for sheriff. I sand off the gloss finish & glue 4 signs together w/homemade glue because the gallon of all purpose glue, purchased for $19, did not last as long as I had hoped, even after thinning it down. I attach 10 strong clips around the edges until glue is dry. I did find a gallon for $14 but have not tried it yet. Making glue is tedius & time consuming. Take care & good luck! As always, Ann in ND

Salami. The one tool you definitely missed was a router. I redid my mother’s whole kitchen with a router, a $100 cheapest tablesaw available and a sander. Well OK I also used a power planer handheld type, but that was only because I got it at an auction dirt cheap. I could accomplish the same thing with a router or tablesaw and sander. The first thing I did was make my own homemade router table and then with the few bits one being a cabinet door set with rail and style that also came with raised panel bit for making the cabinet doors. There are specialty bits for edge banding plywood or you could just get a tongue and groove set and don’t forget all the other round overs and other bits for making decorative edges. And the next one I would recommend would be one of the inexpensive 9 inch bandsaws. The bandsaw will give you 7 to 9 inches of thickness to cut through with your wood were as a tablesaw or circular saw will give you less than 4 inches of thickness when cutting through boards. Also if you use a thin blade you can use your bandsaw almost like a scroll saw with the exception of you cannot cut holes In the field like you could with a scroll saw by just drilling a small hole in the area you want to remove. However there are ways around that if you really wanted to. In regards to sanding a nice random orbit sander works good for flat surfaces but if you have curves you’re going to want an oscillating spindle sander. And you can get an inexpensive spindle sander that is also A belt sander. When you have it set up for belt sanding you can simply rotate the board discerned outer curves and while it set up that way you can also use the two ends one large one small to do some of the sanding of inside curves. And you can switch over to just being a oscillating spindle sander to match up to different concave curves. So this was just my long winded way of saying oscillating spindle/belt sander, router and bandsaw.
