Woodworking is a fun activity where you can create many beautiful
projects. The first thing you'll need is the proper woodworking tools.
Often, when you think of woodworking and needed tools, you think of
power tools. However, you will also need a variety of hand tools to get
the job done. If you're new at this woodworking business, you're
probably uncertain as to what hand tools you'll need. Building a
collection of tools can be expensive, especially if you're not sure of
what you need.
If you're working with wood, some of the hand
tools you'll need are clamps, bench chisels, saws, still wire brushes,
planes, scrapers and files. Clamps are very inexpensive and come in a
variety of sizes and types. They last a long time, so try to find them
on sale or even used. You'll need at least six bench chisels in sizes
from ¼" to 1". For saws, you should have a tenon, dovetail and back saw.
You'll be using these a lot with woodworking. If you can get them used,
make sure the blades are not damaged. If you buy them used, get the
blades sharpened and you're all set to go.
Planes will be used to
smooth out the wood. You may need a few of these, but for starters, you
can get by with a block plane and jointer. Scrapers you'll need are
paint scrapers and a hand scraper. Try to get a few different files in a
ten-inch size. Start with smooth and mill files. Garage sales and
moving sales are great places to get some good buys on used tools. If
you're uncertain, take someone with you to help choose what you need.
Some
other tools you'll need are a hammer, mallet, screwdrivers, bevel, tape
measure, level, squares, awls, pliers, putty knife, utility knife and
protractor. There are different kinds of hammers, but a 16-ounce hammer
is a great all-purpose hammer. The mallet will be for driving large
things. A good set of Allen wrenches will last forever. The two types of
screwdrivers are Phillips and flat heads. You can get a good set of
both of these at a good price if you shop around. You'll want to get a
pair of channel lock and needle nose pliers to start with.
Most
of the small miscellaneous tools you may not use on your first day of
woodworking, but you will use them eventually and often. Although you'll
be tempted to go out and buy the cheapest you can find, but don't. If
woodworking is something you're going to stick with, you don't want
tools that you have to keep replacing because they're breaking.
Good
quality tools will not only last forever, but will be guaranteed
forever, too. If not guaranteed forever, than for a very long time. Some
tools that are very good quality are Stanley tools, Snap On tools or
Craftsmen.
