10 Must-Have Tools For Beginner Woodworkers

[@Stoplurkinbro]

watching these kind of videos makes me realize how nice my high school woodshop was

[@SteamGeezerUK]

As a woodworker/cabinet maker for the last 30 years or so, I think this is a great list. I'd like to add a few little extra bits of my own, if I may, in no particular order: 1. You can never have too many clamps. 2. Table saw - if you're buying a small table saw, get one that allows you to change the blade from the top. Might sound like a no brainer, but some small saws require the whole machine to be flipped over to change the blade which is a nuisance, believe me, especially if it is on a stand. 3. Cutting tools - buy decent cutting tools, whether they be saw blades, router bits, drill bits, whatever. Buying cheap ones is a false economy as they go blunt really fast and will either give crappy cuts or you'll have to change them more often. Same with glue - buy decent glue. It'll hold way better than cheap stuff. 4. The drill press - the floor standing ones are great, but keep in mind some manufacturers offer a bench top version of their floor standing drills. I have a big Record Power pillar drill that has a 3 foot post instead of 6 feet. This allowed me to make a heavy duty drawer unit on wheels so I have the height and power of the floor standing drill, but with storage for all the drill bits, sanding drums etc and, if I need to, I can move it easily. I have never needed to use the full height of the bed (who needs to drill through 3 feet?) so it works really well. 5. You can never have too many clamps. 6. Band saws - if you're buying floor standing shop tools, a band saw is very useful and should be considered in addition to the items in the video. 7. Routers - to reiterate what was said in the video, routers are incredibly flexible tools that will massively increase the scope of what you can do with your projects. They can be a bit scary, but as long as you stick to the recommended speeds, make shallow cuts and don't do anything silly, they're quite safe to use. 8. Shop vac - worth looking at if you're going to be using power tools. These machines can create a huge amount of dust and chips, and a shop vac will help alleviate that and make tidying up much easier. 9. Biscuit joinery - as well as pocket hole screws, you might want to look at biscuit joinery, especially for cabinet making. It removes the need for screws, nails etc and creates very strong, completely invisible joints. 10. You can never have too many clamps.

[@FireIceEarth]

Some great additions! I thought the list was great, but was surprised that dust extraction was only mentioned in passing, and bandsaws not mentioned at all!

[@JesusArellano]

i would add 1 more thing to your list!. CLAMPS!! that is All.

[@woodworkerroyer8497]

Well, I think Marc Spagnolo (the wood whisperer) has too many clamps. Watch one of his videos to understand my point. Also, what biscuit jointer do you recommend? I assume Ryobi is to be avoided...

[@cristianivancidguerra1005]

You always need 2 more clamps than what you have on hand 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@VaracolacidVesci]

I think you missed that we need clamps

[@jimpoole6037]

Was a past homeowner woodworker, you are getting me back into it now that I am retired from my job! Thanks!

[@barrykery1175]

Of all the videos I have watched for getting started in woodworking, not one person suggests getting a radial arm saw. Over 35 years ago I had to make a decision.....table saw or radial arm saw. I figured I could do more with the radial arm saw. To this day I still feel I made the best choice for me. Does the miter saw stop professional woodworkers from getting a radial arm saw? I even make molding with my radial arm saw with the use of the modeling head. I now use my router more for making molding. So...."Why not a radial arm saw?" For years I only focused on using a 1/4" impact wrench for automotive work. Since the pandemic locks me into my cave, to break the boredom, I started watching more and more youtube videos. That's where I learned how much more I can do with the my little impact wrench. Now that I realized how useful it is for woodworking, I purchase a second one. One for the garage and one for the shop. Now I have to keep chasing after it. Great informative video. Barry

[@jonathanlangston9687]

Being from the UK, I love how the US literally have tools for EVERYTHING to make the job easier. I was a plasterer by trade, and always remember working with an old joiner who still used a saw which he sharpened, hand planers, hand drills and chisels……the guy was a true artist and his work was millimetre perfect!

[@jeffreytackett3922]

Is there something wrong with having a tool for everything to make the job easier? You understand that time is worth something, too, right?

As a novice I'm really interested by your pocket holes comment. Can you do a video showing when to use and not to and why?

[@ganjasmoke21]

Never!

[@kristophermcgurgan5324]

you can use pocket holes just about any were from table top to doing framing

[@xxdrewxx6]

There are many good uses for pocket holes, but typically should only be used with 3/4" or 1" thick material building like box work for cabinets or what have you.

[@TheAudioman15]

I am a convert. Pocket holes are great, you just have to do it right. Steve Ramsey has great videos on it

Man, I love the way you film, speak, and explain. This was a great video for my limited woodshop to avoid wasting money but I can just binge your videos that aren't even relevant to me. You keep them incredibly entertaining and educational. Thank you!

[@JeffreyMoon1974]

This is a great list, but I honestly would not consider some of these tools "beginner tools." My list would only include a circular saw, a jigsaw, a drill-driver combo, a random orbit sander, a shop vac, and F-clamps. My rationale is that power tools like the table saw and the router may come across as intimidating to a new woodworker. Plus, some of these suggestions are not cheap; a benchtop jointer, for example, is going to run you at least $300-$400, and even the low-end thickness planers are going to run you $400. Obviously, I'm not accounting for something you might be able to find on the secondhand market, but a novice is likely not going to know enough to make an informed purchase. The better approach, in my opinion, is to start simple, get comfortable making some basic projects, and then start buying tools as you find a need for them. Beyond this, I do compliment you on your explanation of these tools and their purpose.

[@Jolie12Fille]

Agreed

[@JeffreyMoon1974]

@ryan norris agreed, but then again that was my point.

[@sadisticrage2090]

@@JeffreyMoon1974 your list is practical. His list is NOT. No beginning shop list should contain tools over $1,000. I swear most of these "top 10 tools" videos are done just to show off their high priced tools, and to try and get more free things from sponsors.

[@dylan-nguyen]

@@JeffreyMoon1974 I think a table saw if ur making more than 3 projects is reaaally necessary at that point. I tried being cheap with a circ saw and everything took forever. And the weird placement made things get sketchy sometimes without a huge table/bending over constantly. Table saw once debunked and safely used felt way better for regular cuts.

[@JeffreyMoon1974]

@@dylan-nguyen I agree that there are things you can do with a table saw that are more difficult with a circular saw, and I LOVE my table saw. That said, as I stated, you should start buying tools as you find a need for them. The flip side to that is that you buy all these tools as John recommends and then they sit in your garage or basement collecting dust (and not sawdust) because you have no time or you lose interest. FWIW, when I started woodworking, I didn't have a table saw for about the first ten years or so. Do I wish I had bought one sooner? OF COURSE, but my time between projects didn't make it worth getting one and I managed most cuts with my circular saw or jigsaw (more the former than the latter). Once I found myself in the shop more, then it became an obvious purchase to step up my game.

[@SpaceCaptainLord]

I think its awesome that you mention that brand doesn't matter. So many people feel like you have to have the most expensive and pretty tools to make stuff, but really you can use any brand!

[@mmwtcasmalltown]

Yes! But also that he mentioned to be mindful when it comes to Cordless because of interchangeable batteries and to pick one but stick to it! Like brand doesn't matter but once you buy a certain brand whatever it is...stick to it:)

I love my M12 Milwaukee cordless tools and anything it won’t handle I plug in. Is cost So much to replace the 18v batteries I started with a 7 pice dewalt kit and loved it until I had to start replacing batteries. Then a 5 pice of the Milwaukee 18v that I was lucky to get a year of life out of them. my m12 I have gotten 6 years + out of batteries so far they are also lighter and less bulky. You can get the bigger battery for the m12 system and also so many different tools like tubing cutter, air inflater and solder iron. We get super hot summers where I live so that is why my battery’s crap out so fast. Since I made the switch to the smaller M12 system I have not regretted it. Love the show just don’t agree with more power for cordless is better. Keep up the good content.

Super, very nice episode. You said exactly what to have, not like the others that in "Top 10 Tools", they talk about 10 similar tools. These 10 tools you mentioned are pretty much all that is needed. The only thing missing is a grinding tool, and this tool is perhaps more important than a bench drill. I do not have all these tools yet, but I do have a Makita milling machine, a track saw, sander, clamps, a drill and a belt sander. These tools are enough for me to make some furniture or something out of wood. The next tool I plan to buy is a table saw, planer and dust collector. Thank you for this episode, you did very well.
