If you’re starting up your own at-home woodworking shop as a hobby or as a side-hustle, there are some essential tools required to get you started right. Before you get the tools, make sure you have a decent-sized space in your garage or a shed to organize your items as you gather them and have space to work.

Drill

A drill can replace just about anything you can do with a screwdriver, and it saves you a ton of time. Make sure to get an ultimate index drill bit set Blaine MN so you have all of the sizes you need for any project you want to attempt.

Circular Saw

For large pieces of wood, a circular saw can be a fantastic tool to cut it down. It can be useful for cutting objects that are too large to move and for wide pieces of wood that other saws you own may not cut through.

Nail Gun

Instead of hammering in nail after nail on large projects, it may be more beneficial to use a nail gun. This power tool sends nails into your objects with the pull of a trigger, which is much easier than using a hammer.

Miter Saw

This is the best saw to use when you want to make quick cuts for projects that use 2×4’s or other standard lumber pieces. It can make straight or angled cuts, making it a versatile saw to add to your arsenal of tools.

Orbital Sander

Sanding by hand gets old fast when you are working on a lot of wood projects and that’s why an orbital sander is necessary. This tool gets the sanding done in a fraction of the time and the finish is smoother than what you can achieve by hand.

With this assortment of tools, you’ll be ready for just about any project you want to attempt. As your skills increase, you can begin to add other items to your collection.
