I am just starting to get into woodworking. Anyone recommend what hand tools i need to get started? Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the forum and that’s great your getting into woodworking. There are so many tools for woodworking. Really depends what you will be making. Some of the basic tools are a nice set of chisels along with a sharpener. I would also look at some jigs. Jigs are ge especially for a new person as they save alot of time. You will also need some sandpaper. Clamps are amust. Again the list goes on. Tools are expensive so iwould look at your first project and get the tools for that project. You will see over time your inventory will grow.
Hi folks,
Just a heads up about Stanley who have brought ot 2 light weight framing hammers that drive nails like a 28 ounce hammer yet way 15 ounces.
Sounds like a joke but folks are raving about them over here in the U.K 🙂
See again you guys get all the cool tools. I hope we get them here.
LOL Not all the Time Eric,
Sometimes I feel like getting on a plane to the U.S just to come look at all the cool stuff you guys have over there. 🙂
But I think I would get carried away and dive in on a building site and never come home LOL 🙂
