Hi Lara, I'd definitely recommend a brad nailer (18 gauge) as the first nailer to purchase. It shoots a nail from 5/8" to 2" (the Ryobi Airstrike in the video does) and these nails are very tiny, so hard to see when in project, but also very difficult to drive by hand without a brad nailer. A finish nailer is usually a 15 or 16 gauge nailer, and these shoot much bigger nails, more difficult to hide and can be driven by hand. Those nails are generally used for bigger pieces of trim - like exterior moulding.

We also scored a Skillsaw and finishing nail gun with compressor. I can wait to get started on my first projects which will be your console table and farmhouse bench. All I need now is a pocket drill jig. Thank you so much for inspiring me. It's so hard to find quality, handmade, and affordable furniture in Hawaii!!!

I love what I have seen so far from Ana White. I need to make things as I cannot afford ready made but I am not very confident with tools. So, I would love to see much more detailed information showing how to use the different tools Ana mentioned in her video correctly. For example the pocket hole jig looks difficult to use and get the holes at the correct angles and in the right places. Also, one 'tool' that was not really mentioned, and many people do not have, is a sturdy work bench. I would really like to know how to make one for my garage please Ana, and I very much hope to see more videos from you in future.

@cybercapri10 жыл бұрын
Hi Ana, Great intro to Basic Tools. You mentioned getting a pocket jig and though they are handy to have they are also expensive. An alternative to the Jig is to just buy the Pocket Drill alone and practice drilling the same hole without the Jig; of course it will not be as simple but it is easy enough that with a little practice one can get quick with it. Just remember to start almost 90 degrees until the bit starts to bite then angle it about 60 degrees to finish the hole. Again practice is key so don't use your finish piece to practice on, make sure to use scrap. Obviously having the $100.00 dollar, or more Jig is Ideal, but a $7.00 drill will suffice in the meantime... I magically found your channel today and I look forward to your next project, keep up the great work....

Depends on the application. If I had to choose only 1 tool, it’d be an 18 gauge brad nailer. Versatile, will secure many types of projects whereas a pin nailer has finer “nails” and is pretty much limited to finishing/trim applications.

I like the pocket hole jig idea but I'm not sure I'm ready to have to buy special screws for them (from what I understand). Currently I get by with specific screws for some jobs, or random screws for other jobs. They are all cheap or inexpensive, even from garage sales. But a specific screw needed for pocket holes, that's where I'm a little confused on making the move to that, even though I see the benefit of the pocket hole.

Agreed. It may have been OK at a lower volume but distracting the way it is. Also distracting is shirt unbuttoned unbuttoned way too low showing cleavage. If I were looking at a male with his shirt unbuttoned so low I’d think, “Ugh. Gross!” I have equal standards for males and females when it comes to business presentation. Like this video. If we were talking Salsa or ballroom dancing, different story. Does the cleavage add to your presentation, or distract from it? For me, it was annoying, and the latter.

Hi Ana, I've come across your channel and subscribed. Thank you for all the videos you've posted, especially this one to get me started with the projects. Questions about some of these tools. #1 for the Kreg Jig, I see you recommend K5 over K4 in your blog (ana-white.com). How about K5 Master System? #2 for the nailer, would the air type (as the Ryobi Airstrike) be good enough? or cordless electric type like Rigid Hyperdrive is better to get? #3 for the sanders, should I get both orbit and corner cat sanders? or just corner cat one is enough? Thanks again for your videos! and i'm looking forward to starting projects built from your plans in your blog! -Krisna
@AnaWhiteDIY8 жыл бұрын
Hi, thank you!
@AnaWhiteDIY8 жыл бұрын
The K5 is just easier to work with with the clamp on the front and easier to adjust. If you can splurge on the master system it is definitely worth it. The best nailer is definitely the Ryobi Air Strike brad nailer, especially if you are already on their battery system. Pneumatic nailers are faster and more powerful, but you have to deal with a hose and compressor, so I don't recommend them unless you are doing alot of nailing. You could start with the corner cat but will want the orbit when doing bigger projects. Hope all this helps!

Small Tool Tip: Watch your vid and take note of how you hold the board when using the Miter Saw... STOP doing that right now! Do not hold the board lightly with half your fingers in the air and not on the board. Because when that thing kicks - and it EVENTUALLY will - it will/could suck that board or you hand right into the blade because you weren't holding your board firmly. From this day forward - Stop and think about how your holding the piece your cutting on the miter saw every time BEFORE you start the machine. Scares the crap outta me seeing you hold the board like that.
