Tools That I Use.
Tools are a vital part of a woodworker’s life. But it can be a minefield of choices. Price, quality, reviews and more can be very difficult to navigate.
All my Tools in one place.
Please see below a list of the more important tools that I use in the Workshop. The links are affiliate links and as such you are charged nothing more but the channel makes a small commission for the recommendation.
The UK links are the closest matches to the tools I genuinely use whereas further afield I have researched the best alternative where an exact match does not exist.
Your support through checking out these links is a huge help and ensures I can maximise my video output on the channel. For that I am always grateful.
If you are looking for a Laser that is not only effective but intuitive, this has been a real eye opener. It’s not cheap but then I would be worried if it was. My biggest recommendation is to check out the air filter they have as an accessory.
When it comes to Visual and Sound equipment I was a complete Novice. But with a fair amount of research I found a setup that works for me. Click below to see what I use now.
It all started with a friend letting me borrow his Makita Circular saw. I have stuck with the one platform to keep batteries simple. Their range is impressive, good quality and not too expensive for what they are
Please dont take shortcuts when it comes to your safety in the workshop. It’s a simple thing to pop on a mask or ear plugs but so often we overlook it for convenience.
Whatever method you use, sharpening is just a routine. It takes a little time and practise but once you master it…….Wow.
Whatever you build, marking and accuracy is essential. Click below to see my setup.
Kreg is a great starting point for pocket holes and cross cutting. But there are more useful jigs and jig making accessories.
Sanding is more than just paper. It is made easier by all of the extra bits you find as you gain experience.
You can’t avoid the need for clamps but you can buy a few cheaper options that do a great job. There are also a couple of more specialist options I think will make your build go a lot smoother.
Well worth slowly building a collection of specialist saws and rasps up. They all have slightly different uses. Check out what I have below.
A full range of accessories that raise your drill or impact driver up to the next level. Some may look like gimmicks but they all get a lot of use in my work flow.
Dust Solutions
I am just starting out in this area and have found that Kutzall burrs are just incredible. The rate of wood removal and ease of use is sensational.
All UK links are for products that I have used. US links are the closest I can find. They are recommendations made from my experience, yours may differ.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. It is a small income to the channel at no extra cost to the buyer.
CA glue, wood glue and all the things you need to use with it.
All the little things that I have in the workshop. They dont fit in the other categories but are still incredibly useful. Worth a look.
Dust is a constant battle in any workshop. Here are my solutions. They are ever changing to keep up with my needs.
