I have drills, a miter saw, and circular saw; that’s it for my power tools. Aside from those tools, I have hammers, screw drivers, pliers, etc.

I have noticed that I am becoming very interested in woodworking and have done a few projects, but I want to continue to advance and perhaps someday be a furniture builder in my free time.

Which tools or power tools are absolutely essential to do your average woodworking project? Also, how can I learn more about these things? Is it just me, or is this the best past time ever?

For power tools would I need a Miter Saw, a Circular Saw, and a Jigsaw? Also, does Bosch or DeWalt make better saws. And if Bosch or DeWalt don’t make good saws who does? I want to have a reasonably priced saw that works good, I sorta have a budget since im 15. Thanks!
lol, i wish i did have someone to help me.

He has several types of big saws, and all the little power tools-drills, dremels (sp?), power sanders and the like. He is good at woodworking, but I don’t think he has many woodworking type tools. Any guy or girl out there who enjoys working with tools, what tools are you glad you own, or what tools are on your wish list??

Thanks!

I am trying to buy my husband an inexpensive table saw for christmas but don’t really know anything about power tools. He would be using it for small projects around the house.

Thank you

I want to make basic wood projects like a gate for my backyard. Can you recommend a table saw and other tools and/or power tools that would be essential to woodworking?

I’m interested in becoming more handy and would like to venture into the world of power tools (beyond power drills, that is). Home Depot has a nice Ryobi 10-inch table saw for the price I’m looking to spend. What do people use table saws like this for? Please do not ask questions in your answer. Thanks.
