- Do you ever find yourself wanting to take up woodworking but then feeling thoroughly deflated once you start watching RUclips videos and see all these huge workshops with thousands of pounds/dollars worth of equipment?
Well me too. But I'm not going to let that stop me, join me as I build a workshop (and some cool stuff) from absolutely nothing, with the basic tools! Watch this video to find out what tools you ABSOLUTELY need to get going (spoiler alert - its not many!).

Magnusson Chisels (Cheap):

The only things I'd add is storage and vacuum.
Great suggestions!
I came here for your bench video, I’m subscribed for the possible future longbow video. 😅
Haha welcome to the crew! I’m going to be making two different types of longbows, wood selected but will be out after my next few videos :)
We are going to walk this together option please. I was recently gifted my Mother in Law's great grand fathers Stanley no 4.5. I have lots of gear and no idea, my fear of failure is so that I'm scared to start. I have enjoyed buying rusty tools and refurbishing them for use. Looking forward to following your journey and seeing that long bow
Welcome to the community! Once you do get started I'm sure you'll love it. My advice would be to pick something simple but that you want to build to get you going, and to understand that things won't always go right first (or second, or third) time, but thats ok because each time something goes wrong you can learn from it! The journey is the fun part for sure, best of luck and thanks for following!
great 1st video, 1 thing I would say is good to start with is a vice. I did buy a cheap one from B&Q but it had a lot of movement in it. Then I was able to get a Record vice off Gumtree only paid £30 for it.
Excellent suggestion, especially for people starting out with hand tools! Thanks for the positive comment too :)
Car boot sales too! Always seeing decent vices at booters.
Hi Alex nice to see another showing beginners how to make stuff... I have tools but also I try to teach how to make do... Keep up the good work my friend
Wow, I watch your shorts and tik toks all the time so I'm very honoured to have a comment from you! I certainly will keep up, and you too, thanks for taking the time to comment :)
@Greyotterstudio hehehh Honoured!!! you make me tickle🤠Really appreciate your audience and I see you have uploaded a new video too. I'll tell you what though I do like to see humble youtubers like yourself spreading the love and showing newcomers that they could do it too. There are so many channels that arn't earthy... Keep in touch my friend
Love the video. Congratulations on making your house livable, that's Huge. I can't argue with your list of tools, they make sense. I would add safety glasses for chisel work, a basic first aid kit and some method of drilling holes. Best of luck on your journey. You are off to a great start. By the way, I couldn't agree more about the longbow.
Safety kit is a great recommendation, and definitely some first aid stuff! Thanks for the lovely comment and for taking the time to watch!
Great stuff, thanks for posting, as @neilsmith says I think a vice would be useful and some method of sharpening chisels etc, also there are many good second tools out there, good luck on your woodworking journey, stay lucky and keep 'em coming
Excellent point - not much use to a blunt chisel!
50years ago I started collecting my tools by buying my dad ( a carpenter ) new ones for his birthdays and Christmas and getting his old ones in return 😉 grandads are another source of tools 😊
Thats fantastic! And what a way to build memories with your grandfather too!
