I use a wide variety of hand and power tools
that I’ve amassed over the decades that I’ve been dabbling in woodworking and furniture making. I started out with what I could afford for the amount of work I was doing at the time. Some of these tools are still actively being used and still work great but over the years I’ve progressed to buy better quality tools.
I own a majority of the tools listed here and some I use are off-brand or no longer available, hence I have provided suggestions to outfit a shop. These tools are readily available online – an affiliate link has been provided. I’ve also got some high-quality, yet affordable, handtools I’ve gotten from some incredible makers on Instagram, so remember to always check online for a small shop producing quality tools/gear and support local when you can.
