My dad's advice, which has served me well: "When you are buying a tool for the first time, DON'T buy the expensive tools. Also, stay away from the cheapest tools, but buy something inexpensive. If you wear it out that means it's a tool you use with some frequency so you should replace it with something of much better quality. Otherwise, it's likely just a tool that's sitting on a shelf."

Yes agreed the biggest investment should be your time taking care of and maintaining your tools. I was lucky in the fact that I inherited alot of my tools from my great grandfather who was a shipwright back in England in just have to restore them all I have to give his brace a new handle which I have a lovely piece of walnut set a side for

@padraics 2 года назад

I'd add an exception and say if you're going to buy chisels, get dirt cheap or top end (veritas or lie Nielson). Flattening $25 a piece chisels with convex backs sucks

@DigitalMentorGroup 4 года назад

This video was one of the most useful I've seen on RU-vid. As it progresses, I was running a 'Got It, Need It' checklist. Many years ago, an old neighbour gifted me with his box of hand tools, before he moved to a retirement home. Those tools, including a brace and bits, assorted hand planes, and other essentials, were ancient then. They still work today! Thank you!

@WoodByWright 4 года назад

@benmorris7276 2 года назад

I like how how quite alot of these hand tools already I have a brace planes,a variety of spoke shaves, calipers, Compasses ect. All of which are in dire need of restoration they about 150 years and belonged to my great grandfather who was a shipwright in barrow and Furness. I also have a Japanese pull saw that my friend gave me. My first project will be a new handle for the brace and probably a shave horse

@josezuniga3747 3 года назад

I decided I wanted to find a hand plane first than anything else since it's been one of the harder tools to find, but today I bought an old brace for $10. It's handles are a bit banged up but it works perfectly fine. I can't wait to find a hand plane and the rest of the tools. :)

About the only "formal" experience I have had in wood working was from my days in middle school. That being said. I have been having this itch to start wood working again. My wife says I should be making wood working into a career path, but I never really gave much consideration into it because I thought it was just a really expensive thing to start getting into. This video has definitely helped me realize I can get started next paycheck. Thank you for your very comprehensive video. With some hard earned skills I can get started on making that dream of wood working for a living a reality. That and I can stop spending money on a lot of furniture in the house. lol

@HansZarkovPhD 6 лет назад

I like how you did the dovetails on your bench, I did mine the same way with the wood dowel pegs. I went one step further and skirted the edges in red oak. I bang in to the sides so much walking around it and propping things against it, I wanted something better than soft pine around it. The top extends a 1/2 inch further out from the legs. I have two front vises and no leg vise, so it is not an issue.

Nice. I did something similar on my next bench. really makes a difference.

Buy your tools at a car boot or junk sale. Chisels are cheap and easy to restore to extreme sharpness. Saws will need sharpening (NOT the hardpoint type)buy a small file for sharpening also at junk sales. Also junior hacksaw tiny fine blade great for tiny clean cuts. Great video for beginners!

This is a great video. I especially like the comment about buying tools as you need them for a given project. I think the same can be said of cooking.

@richardsinger01 3 года назад

Good list. For my money I would go for a Record 044 rather than the Stanley 45. It’s a simpler tool, not as versatile maybe, but easier to set up and use. Cheap too. I love using my 044, but the 45 rarely comes out of the box.

@cactusbobaz 5 лет назад

Thank you, big like!!!

@WoodByWright 5 лет назад

@alexanderjnaazeer 7 лет назад

Pretty good list, the only thing I would change is switch out the try square for a good combination square, just more versatile. And all I would add is a tenon saw, I find my sash saw bottoming out constantly and its so frustrating. And some kind of knife (not a marking knife) something like a mora 106, I use it constantly for chamfering end grain on chair legs or tenons, or making small adjustments to things. But over all great video that I am sure will help a lot of people out.

@alexanderjnaazeer 7 лет назад

Oh one other thing, I would say start with the number 5 then build yourself a krenov style smoother. its super simple and makes planing a million times more fun + bragging rights :P

@mm9773 3 года назад

Excellent advice, and the best part is that you start with sharpening. A sharpening solution must necessarily be part of your very first tool kit: it’s just no fun when your tools aren’t sharp. Well done for including it at the very top. I disagree with one thing: a square should be there on the first day, too. And another remark: I have two proper straight edges (24" and 50") and I use them all the time. I think something that is reliably flat or straight should be part of the kit fairly early on.

@charliesmith7169 5 месяцев назад

The saw has a square and a straight edge.

@mm9773 5 месяцев назад

@@charliesmith7169 Kind of - the plastic handle is square enough to mark beams when you put a garden shed together, but it’s not a decent square.

I like your contributions and the order of additions right from the get go. I was looking for videos and lists like this a couple of years ago. They were few and far between. I compiled a list far here and there and from watching project videos. Jacob Farnsworth has a good list. There is also a good one by Frank Klausz which can be found on Farnsworth where shows how to on reconditioning used starter tools. But sharpening is the best first place/start tool and where to begin. Best first skill to develop. 🤗

@WoodByWright 7 лет назад

@kirbytate9961 7 лет назад

completely agree with the buy as you need motto. I started with pretty much a saw, a combo square, a no 4 bench plane and a chisel and now have found myself always picking up a tool for a project or seeing something at a swap meet that I know would make a common task easier (ie files and rasps instead of 60 grit sandpaper for shaping). I would add wood glue and painters/masking tape to the starter list. before I started making wedge c-clamps I used masking tape and heavy objects to glue up. and while some may say perfect joints don't necessarily require glue...starting out and even still I have gaps that need glue to make a strong joint.

@WoodByWright 7 лет назад

+Kirby Tate right on.

also once you have a saw, chisel, and some wood you can build some of the tools you don't have but want.

Apart from these tools i use sandpaper and a £15 drill + bit set. Thats it, it might not last or be the world best quality tools but they work, and if you can use a cheap/ not so great tool, when you do get a great tool you will appreciate it 1000% more. Once again brilliant video!!

you can make a plane stop by driving a couple nails or screws into the surface you are working on. they should stick up a bit less then the thickness of the board. you then plane the board toward the hails. here is a video of me using the planing sop on my bench. you could do the same thing with just a couple nails or screws. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KefwKuvJEb4.html

Your approach to woodworking and your approach to telling the time... quite the contrast!

@WoodByWright 3 года назад

I am a huge techie! first adopter of all things "smart" but when it comes to hand tools I like to slow down.

@willemkossen 7 лет назад

I guess im mostly set. I think you might want to have some worksurface and a clamping method listed. A bench. That is very helpful. Also, an awl is good to have.

@WoodByWright 7 лет назад

ya the bench and screwdrivers were kind of a give in for me. but I should have mentioned them!

I must agree with most of the things you said in this clip. But I'm going to be the one that has to disagree on two of the tools you choose. The first one is the half inch chisel. Yes it might be the most used tool in the wood shop. In my mind the better tool for someone just starting out is a quarter inch chisel. The reason being that if you make a mistake with a half inch chisel you have made a half inch mistake you need to fix. On the other hand with a quarter inch chisel that mistake is only a quarter inch. It's always easier to fix a small mistake than a bigger one. Plus you have more control with a small tool while doing fine work than a larger one. The second tool I disagree with is the brace. In my book the egg beater style hand drill is the better choice for someone just starting out. Once again bigger is not always better. Yes you can get more torque with a brace. But as you stated it is becoming harder to find good bits for one. Yet with an egg beater style hand drill they use the more modern style round drill bits that you can find any where. They also work better when used with just the weight of the tool. So control is better than a brace you need to lean into to get the best results. But these are just my thoughts

everyone is different. that is one fo the things that makes this sport great

“As a power tool user you’ll want a block plane.” I build Adirondack chairs and other outdoor furniture, we use power and shop tools. Little Stanley 60 1/2 lives in my shop belt

@Alex-xv5cr 6 лет назад

I would add a vice and a carving knife cos you can use them for many different thing but other than that good list

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

+alexkungfupanda true.

@kendehaas668 7 лет назад

You put together a good list for the beginner. About the only thing to add would be a straight edge. Of course now "we" won't be able to find good vintage planes at yard sales.

@WoodByWright 7 лет назад

thanks Ken. you just got to get there early for the good stuff.

I found a vintage set of Irwin auger bits with good spurs and lead screws in box with original paperwork

So.. im very new to this woodworking stuff and am proud to say I completed my first project (small jewelry box with dovetails). Ive amassed and restored a Stanley 3,4, and 5 and block plane. I got a decent set of chisels, marking tools, dovetail, cross cut and rip saw, brace and bits, and egg beater drill. Im having trouble deciding what tools to buy next. I was thinking a router plane and a large plane like 7 or 8... or should i get a combination plane? Which ones are truly more useful?

@WoodByWright 5 лет назад

It depends on what you want to make. if you want to make large pieces such as furniture that having a large plain would be very beneficial. If you are wanting to build boxes and other intricate jewelry then a router plane would be a great choice. If you wanting to do molding and detailed edges a combination plane would be a great choice. They are all fairly equal and how often I use them.

mix sawdust with epoxy glue and put in the handle it works like a charm for falling of handles

I understand what does it mean I love my tools. It is not for my only the thing without a soul. For me tools that create nice stuff gradually receive a soul which is inhaled by the carpenter who holds respect.

@69uktrogg 6 лет назад

A couple of screwdrivers for fitting hinges and handles.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

those and hammers I consider to be homeowner tools and kind of a give in. I mostly use them for restoring tools, but I do little or no hardware in most of my work.

@stephenlucas6038 4 года назад

Great stuff. I have started to fill out my shop with hand tools, but my biggest issue has been making super straight cuts with hand saws. For instance, how would you go about making a perfectly square cut to some table legs when the leg won't fit in a miter box?

@WoodByWright 4 года назад

Usually you cut your line and then saw a little ways away from it. Then you can come back and plan it back to the line. There are ways to improve your skill with proper technique but for most people it takes a good long while to be able to cut a clean straight line right off the saw. I have a few videos on that if you want to see more.

I waited way to long to buy a spokeshave. picked up a hunk-o-junk for 5 bucks and refined it into a great tool!

@WoodByWright 7 лет назад

+Garrett Wright Great way to go!

@garrettwright4337 7 лет назад

After I finished a tool handle with a Stanly 113, I realized that I had waited to long to buy a spokeshave. A Uxcell spokeshave on amazon delivered from China was only $4.95. Took 3 weeks to arive in Oklahoma. The casting on the sole was rough and unpolished. A couple hours on the surface plate and I'm good to go. Flat sole and sharp blade. My 8 year old son loves it! What a great hand tool to put in a child's hands.
