This video would have been awesome 4 years ago! Great list 👍🏼

I recommend going to local estate sales. Many people of the older generation have died and have a huge collection the kids need to get rid of.

[@Alex_M_Creations]

Absolutely! I ended up finding a small Delta Rockwell drill press with a mortising attachment and got it for $25 for the whole setup. It was the last day of the sale which also helps a ton with better prices.

[@GaySatanicClowns]

I wanted to get a circular saw for 35 but my mom thought it was too heavy and that I would hurt myself with my connective tissue disorder.

[@gergemall]

Thanks I’m learning so much from you.❤

[@RayandSandysWoodworking]

Thank you Matt, I have some of these things. Spot on for beginners!

[@blancamartinez8905]

Love the home improvement reference brother

I just got a crafts man set and it is a game changer

Thank you 🙏 I’m from india 🇮🇳

[@AriyanasWriting]

Don’t use cheap stuff. If you’re gonna do it, get the good things to make what you’re making good. My father, and me, have both learned the hard way.

[@atchmon902]

If you know you'll be using certain tools alot, then it's fine to buy the better brands. If not sure, then second hand or cheap brands is good, then upgrade. I have a makita table saw that i barely use, only paid $80 for it used. Works good.

[@TonyTonieTone]

Fine or find😉 attention to detail especially when woodworking 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@iprobablywontseeyourreply.7193]

Second hand is great regardless. Marketplace is the best for getting your tool collection up w/o going broke. I found my CNC, planer, drum sander, 12” bandsaw, brand new Bosch edge router and drill/driver, beautiful cabinet grade plywood super cheap, insulation for my garage, brand new Delta contractor tablesaw, jointer, track saw, lots of bessey and Jorgensen clamps, and more all on marketplace within 6 months w/o killing my wallet.

[@charitiekbyrd1]

​@@iprobablywontseeyourreply.7193so true, marketplace is a great place to get tools cheap if you have limited funds or if you just want to try it out without going broke. Another good place is certain pawn shops will sell stuff cheap too. Sometimes you can catch them on a sale at pawn shops as well. I have gotten most of my tools through marketplace and pawn shops and it didn't cost anywhere near what it would have been if I bought them new. Just be patient and look around in other places to find what works for you. Good luck and be safe 💯😁

[@1959mikel]

I would add to stick with one brand for cordless and share batteries

[@Paul-044]

Very cool. Great info

[@MrJashley7633]

so you can go with super cheap Hart brand tools to begin with, or at least I did. Unfortunately still don't have a tablesaw or a router.

[@1steelcobra]

Going with Hart is a great way to have to spend more later anyways.

I would have said to buy $1,000 in clamps and improvise for everything else.😂

For $1,000 USD you can barely buy the table saw here in New Zealand

[@michil75]

I always see everyone using DeWalt. Is this the best brand or is this an American thing ( i'm Dutch ) ? I'm thinking about Makita and i prefer to stick to one brand ( batteries ) but wondering what everyone's opinion is ...

[@thefitnessguy2217]

DeWalt makes good tools for the price, they have figured out all the bugs on their table saws and miter saws. As far as the battery powered tools, they are almost exclusively made in China and they just put a different color plastic on the outside.

[@Rood67]

Not a single fan-boy Ryobi in this mix. Hmm, maybe he’s not the fan-boy so many accuse him of being.

[@AlexRodriguez-do9jx]

DeWalt "middle ground" ?

[@bd_mayhem]

Between Festool and Harbor Freight, yes.

What does a table saw do that you can’t do with a circular saw? If you’re saving money can you just use a circular saw for cuts or is there something that you can’t do with a circular saw?

[@maceg003]

In theory yes.... but you would need to create jigs etc and spend money on the wood / hardware to cut that wood in the same way a table saw would do it. Plus if you are doing this as a full time job, time is money, so if you can spend less time setting the jigs / blade / saw up, you can move onto a new task / job quicker.

[@chuckgraham1695]

Cutting dado's and tenon's straight off the top. A solid table saw will provide you with accuracy you just cannot get with a circular saw and provide you with many other options, quicker, faster, and more accurate.

[@CovenantCraftsman]

Speed squares are useless compared to a combination square in the context of building in a shop. If this was framing a house, I’d say speed square.

[@tmpace9]

I did this and died from dust in my blood

[@Purdue_Pharma]

A speed square in a woodworking shop? I know you’re trying to keep to a budget, but do you really want to skimp out on what’s arguably the most important tool in the shop? At least go for some cheaper brand of combination square and leave the speed squares for the framers.

[@oliveryochim]

That looks like a triangle to me not a square lol

[@dsigetich]

That’s woodworking, my friend. What it is called is not necessarily what it is. It’s called a speed square because it quickly (i.e., speed) assures the user that a joint is square.

[@StewBrewer84]

Raise your hand if you're old enough to understand the Tim the Tool Man grunt reference ✋️

[@georgecooksey8661]

Um, Craftsman? Very capable and budget friendly.

[@r1s1mp]

its a triangle, why do you call it a square?

[@ryanmijangos9432]

As a professional carpenter whos ran a shop with 10+ people, dont buy dewalt drills, they go bad pretty quick. We have 5 out of 16 drills go bad within a year. Go makita

[@azadarehusain2460]

Machine are little bit costly,

[@kwilliams2239]

I disagree about pipe clamps. I started out with them but they really aren't as cheap as one thinks. Threaded black iron pipe isn't cheap (galvanized doesn't really work). The clamps aren't all that much cheaper than others, after the pipe is added in. Their performance is poor, too. Notice how much the pipe bends as force is applied to the wood. This deformation is skewing the jaws outward, causing uneven pressure on the ends of the clamp. Iron pipe isn't nearly rigid enough. Look at the way parallel jaw clamps are made, in comparison. Yeah, I started out with pipe clamps but they didn't last long. ...and that was when black iron pipe was dirt cheap. Sure, it'll take a chunk more out of that $1000 but it'll be worth it.

[@Cleanshave50]

The 1/2” ones are crap. But if you buy the non threaded pipe 3/4” pipe and a die/npt thread cutter to match you can get the medium or heavy duty pipe in 14’ lengths and cut to whatever length you want, the die pays itself off in the first 2 lengths of pipe & you have whatever length clamps you want. Good luck bending that stuff

[@kwilliams2239]

@@Cleanshave50 I had 3/4". They were complete junk. I threw them away in a move thirty years ago. Save your money and buy real clamps.

Buy better tools used if ever possible.

Carpenter is the most expensive trade lots of tools I’m a carpenter myself it’s endless

[@Justin-fl1nv]

That's true for all the trades. Always some new tool you need or need to replace.
