I am setting up my woodworking workshop, purely has a hobby/diy thing. Currently I have a Triton Circular Saw, Jig Saw, Belt & Random Orbit Sander, Cordless Drill, Block plane, three stanley bevel edge chisels, plus the usual hammer, screwdrivers, tape measure etc.
I have listed the projects I want to complete below so I am wondering what tools I should get next, my budget is about £300-£400, plus I hope to get the Triton Workcentre for Xmas (yes I have been a good boy this year!). Plus I only have a one-car garage so massive tools are out!
I would prefer to learn how to make joints by hand first so I am thinking some decent marking / measuring tools, plenty of cramps, better chisels, a jointer and a smothing hand plane and then perhaps a router?
A lot of my initial projects will be made using plywood so I am thinking a planer/thicknesser is not required yet, my local lumber yard will plane and thickness timer to order.
What are you thoughts?
Projects:
Plywood workbench
Plywodd tool cabinets
Small boxes
Bookcases / radiator covers
