KristenCO asked:


I have a HUGE slash pile that I want to turn into furniture and usable items. I’m a big fan of rustic / lodge furnishings and decor, and would like to try my hand at making some myself. What kind of tools do you recommend I buy? What other supplies? Until I know whether I can do this, I don’t want to invest in expensive power tools or a workbench. Just the basics. I have a hammer and screwdrivers, and that’s about it. Ideas?? Also, what tool would I use to scratch designs into the wood?

JFalcon asked:


As a fairly new homeowner, I’m finding lots of little things that need to be done. Minor repairs to the garage door, minor soffit and fascia damage, repairing doors and drywall, etc. I like to have the best tool for the job, but when it comes to cutting or finishing, there are several tools more adapted for a particular job. If one were to have the perfect “toolbox” (or perhaps toy box) with practical (not highly specialized) tools, what should it contain?
Well, I did specify power tools, but I suppose that mentioning other tools is fine as well. I already have a hammer, measuring tape, cordless drill and a fairly complete socket wrench set. What’s interesting is that ‘drill’ was mentioned more than once; aside from drilling holes, I assume that others use theirs for planting screws?

I will definitely need to cut wood, but don’t know if I necessarily need a table saw. I did like the suggestion of a reciprocating saw. For those who are suggesting tools, could you please also note what types of modifications and/or repairs for which they are most useful? Many thanks!

What tools would be in the perfect home workshop?

Posted by printer - 28/12/09 at 12:12:51 pm
I’m kitting out a workshop for my fiancee as a surprise when he moves to his new home. He wants to “tinker” mechanically, not woodworking, more car fix up or alternative energy creations. What would you put in his new workshop for tools? Thanks to all in advance!
3 great answers! Thank you everyone… I’ll do the workbench, the lighting, the shop vac, and then price out the rest of the items on the first answer list and give him a gift card to get them. Wonderful, thank you everyone!

How to find a design for a “box”?

Posted by printer - 26/12/09 at 01:12:39 pm

a asked:


I want to make a sort of memorabilia box for my girlfriend and I would like to know if their were any guidelines or designs to get me started. I want the design for the frame, I want it to last and to be well built, and I have plenty of time to build it. I just want it to contain some memorable items and letters and “stuff” for when we will have to leave each other for a while. Any tips/websites/personal experiences etc. would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Also what sort of hard wood would you suggest and where can I find it?

Aerial_Tang asked:


I am going to soon be building up my own toolbox and am not too familiar with the different brands’ quality and dependability. Do you prefer Craftsman, Husky, Ryobi, Makita, Stanley, Workforce etc. or something else. A combination? Hand tools of one, power tools of another? I think you get the idea. Thank you for your consideration.

What tools would you say should be in every toolbox?

Exar Kun asked:


I’m not much of a handyman. I can fix basic things, like pretty much anybody; and I guess I would just muddle through some basic home fixes to save money now that I’m moving out on my own.

I figure it would be a good investment to get a toolbox and some basic tools for basic home repairs. What should I stock it with?
