    I think this is a good list for starter and more but I would recommend to add jigsaw. this is a must saw for plunge cutting, circular and shapes... + impact driver , they usually comes in a kit of drill driver and impact. more important than nailer especially if you are working on outdoor projects , etc.

    @yvettepugin4035 3 года назад

    Thanks Anika, this video was very useful. I am seriously considering adding a Mitre saw to my tool kit as I am interested in doing some more advanced projects - building a work shed right now and accurate cuts are essential for the framing - I can't see straight so every cut made is always a bit off 😅😂. Also getting an additional drill driver, I totally agree that one is ok but two speed up the project and they are a must have. I have been using power tools for years but only once in a while. COVID lockdown got me busy and I am using my tools more now. Your videos are great and it's fun to see another woman setting out information rather than the more experienced guys (no offense to the guys but they don't really cater for newbies). Keep the videos coming 👏👏👏- just subscribed.

  • @lordrichard8184

    A would say a drill is a must along with a circular saw and sander. An impact driver or 2nd drill are nice to have too.
    The miter saw and table saw jobs can be done with a good circular saw.

  • @crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230
    @crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 4 года назад +1

    Great informative video. I would differ about your opening statement that "you really can't build much without power tools."
    We have built homes, very intricate furniture, boats, weapons, bowls and flatware, overland transportation,excetera, with only hand tools for at ,least 1 thousand years, well before the introduction to power tools in the late 1800's, early 1900's when companies such as Stanley, Miller Falls, etc. were introducing us to steam powered machines and electric powered tools in the 1920's. I have a large 20" bandsaw built in 1928 that has the large flywheels that is electric. I did have to do some minor restoration to it such as the bandsaw table. It was neglected for the 60 years it was covered and stored away that needed to be cleaned of some rust, polished, and waxed. I re-apply a new coat of wax at least 1 or 2 times a year along with other tools in the shop. I also had it rewired with twenty-first century safety measures such as a new safety power cord with an emergency shut off switch, and a newer motor. It's one of my favorite tools in my shop and I feel blessed to have it in my shop. There is a channel on here Called "Mr. Chickadee, who has built his home, workshop, and is now working on a forge building. He and his wife have used 95% hand tools to fell a tree, turn it into lumber and constructed the building I have mentioned and more on his channel. His style is no music other than the music of the tools, and no over dubbing. He has a way of conveying how to do something without speaking and they are very interesting, that I think you may enjoy them. I have family hand tools from the late 1600's that I use along with some power tools on all of the gifts I have made for family and friends. When I use those tools, I have a seperate, branding iron with my family's name on it that I use on their gifts so they know that I used our family tools to make it with. It's my way of honoring my heritage and all of the family woodworkers before me that used those same tools to build their homes and the furniture with in them. We are a sentimental family. (And I am the first female relative to inherit the tools, but I share some with my brothers too.

    @williambranham6249 4 года назад

    Earlier today I watched a video by a "professional" and the title of his video was the only two power tools a DIY person needs. This video shows five. I have seen videos listing 10. The fact of the matter is that for a DIY type person, you don't need power tools. Yes they are handy but not necessary. For years power tools were not available. The hand saw, handplanes and a hand powered drill were about all that were available . It's more about skill and knowledge (or experience) than tools. I don't see the need for a miter saw if you have a "skil" saw that will do the same and more. You can only do 1 type of cut with a miter saw and a quality miter saw is expensive. Just my opinion. I am a semi professional with 40 years experience. If you're trying to make money then power tools are indispensible.

      I disagree, I am terrible with making cuts using a circular saw. All my cuts are a disaster. Table saw and miter saw fix that immediately for me and I am able to make good clean precise cuts. I'm sure I can learn how to cut with circ saw with time and dedication but I'm not interested. I just want to build. I am not looking to be the best or gain skills as I do this for fun and to de stress. If I have to try hard at something I am no longer having fun or de stressing.

    "You really can't build much without power tools." Look up "Grandpa Amu" on RUclips. He built a wooden bridge without power tools or even nails.

    You showed well over 5 tools. And your title is just stupid. Wood working anything requires at least a dozen tools. Change your name to furniture maker. And where the heck is the TAPE MEASURE TOOL? dump the skill saw because your more likely to get hurt with that and buy a small table saw. Not impressed at all about your tool selection. But love you have a passion to make things. Rethink your video.

    Jesus this is so cringey. Why on earth if someone actually wanted to learn something regarding tools, construction, repairs etc would they turn to you? My god
