Buying Tools That You Don't Need

 

For efficient space planning, it is important not to go crazy and buy large power tools or equipment. The ability to use floor space more efficiently must be considered. As an example my table saw has the ability to mount a router. Also, there are many table saws which are portable and generally smaller in size. It's a good idea to consider them for small spaces.

Even better are rolling work stations and multi tool tables.  Now you should buy tools as you need them. Consider this:

1)    does this tool meet my need today?
2)    If it does, how long will I take to outgrow it, if ever?

If you don't need them yet, you don't know if you will need them in the future and you might just end up wasting money.

As for me, I will always recommend hand tools first. A few simple (and inexpensive) hand tools: chisels, a mallet, a saw or two. There. You haven’t even spent $100 and you can get started making fine crafts.

Eg: Mallets and Beveled Chisels: A set of sharp beveled chisels is often great to have in your toolbox.

You can cut your dovetail joints, add decoration to your piece, and hundreds of other uses.

Paired along with a rubber mallet, you don't need a circular saw.

Hand sanding: Instead of buying a dremel rotary tool to sand, you could sand your projects by hand.

Hand sanding takes a lot of time and hard work, but it’s one of many skills that can help you improve as a woodworker.

Work With a Hand Saw: Power saws can be frightening to use. Who doesn’t fear to lose their thumb with those things? Using a hand saw may take a bit of elbow grease, but it’s certainly a safer alternative than a circular saw or a jig. As long as your hand saw is sharp, your cuts will be too.

For the best "bang for the buck" power tool, my vote goes to a good circular saw and guide. It is useful for a lot of dimensioning and edge jointing and panel jointing.
