All the tools that you definitely need (to start as a beginner) are only drill, circular saw, and a sander, the other tools he mentioned are just extras, for fancy stuff, not needed, you can smooth edges with sand paper, no need for a router, and the jigsaw... just if you want to do circles, pretty much the only thing it is good for, and that’s it, 3 things, saw, drill, sander and you are good to go
Thanks for this, I'm looking for a gift set for my husband and I've found this very helpful!
only if you wanna do simple designes, with square sides
Thanks
@@User556q well that’s the point of being a beginner, start with simple stuff and get in the trade and work your way up to more difficult designs
What about a planer?
If your buying battery operated power tools, try to keep to the same brand so you can use the same battery(s).
Yup!

Occasionally exceptions need to be made. I have all Makita cordless tools/batteries. I wanted a cordless 18G finish nailer. Word on the street is Makita nailers aren't very good so I went with the Senco Fusion 18G. I am extremely pleased with its performance.
Couldn't agree more Kroban. I also change based on need. Sometimes balance and weight are considerations over battery life and matching batteries as well. When I do electrical work or work in tighter spaces the size and weight become primary. However for a beginner I believe a good set with matching batteries is most important. I bet you paid a pretty penny for that Senco as well ;)
Fillmore Hillmore
Yup. I think it was $350. I also got the Senco 15g but it isn't as good. I kept it anyway so I have 2 Senco batteries. After I discovered the less than satisfactory performance of the Senco 15g I went and got the Dewalt 15g pneumatic nailer with its narrow smart nose or whatever it's called. I'm not a Dewalt guy but the Dewalt has performed well, especially for t&g.

My first power tools was a circular saw drill combo. Worked great and I got a ton done.
Yup, for sure!

This video is like my motivation to start woodworking... thanks man, I finally found a hobby I love
Awesome, glad I could help!

Watching this during the quarantine be like okay I think I have found my new purpose. Hahahaha😊
Same here.
I spent hours window shopping on Home Depot for power tools during this quarantine 😂
@@xandermcconnell5503 hahaha! I think if a jigsaw it would be nice if you buy Stanley brand or Makita. Idk with other tools yet. 😅 happy quarantine shopping...!
Fkn SAMEEEE
Ellen Tirador That comment is soooo me right now.
Thank you for the list. I agree with almost all you've said. I just bought trim router .. yes, that DeWalt cuttie .. and with plunge + trim base it's a bit underpowered for big joinery or router-joining with big flat router bits and it takes just 8mm router bits, but I found it more versatile for the beginning of my stuff (small pergola, furniture trims and details,, picture frames, creating my own trims from raw construction lumber etc).
For sure!
Glad to see that I did ok with my purchases about 30 - 35 years ago... I have these tools... corded versions, but buying my tools from Sears I've always been able to replace them as needed throughout the years. Craftsman FTW! I use all of these tools in my garage all the time. One additional tool I would add, is a buffer... but that is me personally as I like to keep my painted surfaces all waxed up and clean and shiny... =D
Great tips and really appreciate the "recommended add-ons". Made your straight edge for my circular saw and it's extremely versatile as I have a smaller jobsite table saw. Really enjoyed hearing your sanding routine, 80 for hardwoods and no lower than 120 for ply, AWESOME!
Thanks Adrian, glad the video was helpful! Glad the circular saw straight edge was useful.
I'm just starting out. Thank you for this vid!
I started off with a mitre saw and a drill press that was 6 months ago now I’ve grown my small woodworking business and bought a bandsaw and a tablesaw and some good quality dewalt tools
Nice, that’s awesome!
Zac Swan
Good for you chief. I envy you, I seem to be unable to pull the trigger on having my own business. It's never too late!
I will be coming to Canada for a job via PR once the Covid is over.. Would u suggest some tips for a beginner in the carpentary field. At the moment, im watching endless videos to get the basics clear.
@@ThekiBoran
Just buy some small hand tools to wet your beak. I would suggest set of cheap chisels and check out sharpening videos as you can turn a cheap set into an expensive set in 5 minutes, hand saw and a handplane.
With those basic you can produce small items that you could sell for below market price so as to get yourself going.
.
thank you very much. it is loud and clear for the beginners like me.
This was a great idea for a video. Good job giving an overview of each tool without going into too much detail. I have a fixed base router in a router table, but desperately need a trim or plunge router in the next few months. Another option is to find someone that has a specific tool and ask to borrow it from them or have them show you how to use it.
Thanks Joshua! And yes, borrowing a tool is a good option. My first set of most of these tools came from my dad, he had some extras that he gave me to get my started.
Crafted Workshop That's what got me started as well!
Thanks for the great video, I do like the idea of one brand of battery tools, but then there is always the exception to the rule, I still have a very first power tool and that was a Black and Decker single speed drill that I got second hand, I don't tend to use it much these days, but it is still going strong, happy woos working to you all.

I’ve watched a lot of videos like this from other channels on RUclips and honestly this was by far the most thorough and helpful one I’ve seen yet. I’m further along in my “woodworking journey” but I still like to watch these to see if there’s something I missed that may be useful. But I really wish I would’ve seen this video first. I love you talked about even the accessories and what to look for in terms of specific features. You’ve earned a follow after just one video. Hope the rest of your content is just as good 😌
Thanks a lot Nathan, appreciate it!
Great video! I'm looking to get more into woodworking so this was perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!

i am very thankful bumping this video as it help me a lot on my future project of my tiny home.
1. Circular saw
2. Drill (recommends hammer drill for concrete)
3. Jigsaw
4. Random orbit sander
5. Router
Im just starting this hobby. I bought the supplies to make my daugther the book shelf she has been asking for. Now, I just need the equipment lol. Great video!
Nice, good luck!
I agree with a circular saw being the most versatile for woodworking but for Home DIY I think a oscillating multi tool takes the cake. I use that thing endlessly and alway find new ways it can help.
Yup, for sure. In my work, I have almost no use for one, but I've seen you use yours a ton in your renovation videos. Great for notching out trim, cutting out drywall, etc. Keep up the awesome videos man! Your kitchen is looking great.
The farmhouse videos look great well done you have won another subscriber
yeah, they're pretty nifty and thanks dude, much appreciated !
The editing is quite a bit beyond what you get most DIY videos! Subscribed as well!
Wabi Sab - E!!! Omg I love your videos!!
Great video. I would love to see more like it. Hand tools would be good, like you said. Another idea is to do one on consumable materials, theres so many options for glues, varnishes, etc. Also, maybe a few short instructional bits and/or pro tips on the tools/materials that you've learned from trial and error. Like they say, a smart person learns from their mistakes...a really smart person learns from others mistakes. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks, all great ideas! I’ll definitely keep them coming.

Very helpful. Thank you
You have made a wonderful presentation: you communicate clearly, are organized, and knowledgable; thank you.
Thanks Pamela!
Iv had my first shed/workshop at 16 years old and always had a love for tools i was at the car boots/flea markets picking up bargains hence why i have most power tools and about 17 tool boxes my advice on router bits would be to buy a cheap set then replace the ones you use with high end bits

Awesome video! I feel you about the cordless tools. When I first started I got me a bunch of cordless ryobi tools and they still come in handy!

Great info here Johnny! You should do a fastener video of the same style. Explaining the uses and purposes of pocket holes, pop rivets, staples, nails etc.
Definitely in the plans! Thanks David.

Thanks for a gem of a YT vlog! Really excellent! Please do more of these Beginner series....looking to start woodworking as a hobby (I have a list lining up)!!!
Thanks, will do!
+1 for the mention of battery technology -- I used to stay far clear of cordless drills because they just died constantly... -- But now a days, I can leave the drill off the charger for days at a time, and I've never had the thing die on me yet. -- I do recommend getting all of your tools the same brand so that the batteries are all interchangeable though.
Yup! Battery tech has improved drastically.
Just getting started on my garage workshop, this was very helpful, thank you and well done!

Just got into woodworking when I moved into my new house..DEFINITELY wish I would've done my research before grabbing what I thought were "the essentials" lol. Live & learn.
Had no idea how important clamps would be! Looking for some help in that "department".
Also, waiting for that hand tool video.
I love my parallel bar clamps, whether that’s Bessey or Jet. They’re super pricey but worth it, you’ll use them on every project. Hand tool video is in the works!
Please do more of these! Loved this
Thanks, will do! Please share the video with any of your friends who are new to woodworking, hoping this video can help some people get started.
Thank you so much for the video, I enjoy watching woodworking and I was just thinking about what can do start
This video was a blessing.
I’m not very familiar with your channel so I don’t know if you have it already but something that would really help is a video on taking measurements and basic projects featuring specific tools so that we can became familiar with each of the basic tools and so on.
Al I hope you sponsor by some of those brand you covered up,
Thanks man! Glad this video was helpful. Definitely watch some more of my videos, I’ve got plenty of simpler builds and try to explain things well.

Really great tips! I've seen a lot of people ask these questions! And these are all the tools I started with
Thanks! Hope this video helps some people.

Good stuff, man. Good tips for someone getting into the hobby.
Thanks!
I'll second that thanks for the vid

Any beginner will also definitely include a tool belt with basic hand tool like hammer, nail puller, tape measure, speed square, pencil, retractable knife, nail setter, and chiselers, etc and keep calm at all times
well well mate you sure gave me a new insight you explan it to much stuff kind of blew me away ever at first I didn,t understand because my partly deafness but that oh ok I,ll learn and thank you for great tips thumb up cheers
Thanks Doug!
This definitely seems like a lot of stuff to start all I have is a regular drill and a saw lol I sand everything by hand 🤷🏻♂️😅
Black hawk assault Bullet storm if your from uk get a cheap one from Screwfix USA him depot
The tools he says u need is over kill. U can do lots with saw and drill
This guy Definitely not overkill, I have them all, cost me only $50 for everything
@@nathanjohn367 if u got all those tools for 50 bucks u need to get out of the toy section. Actually toy set of that amount would even cost more.

I always use a back saw for dado joints. It saves so much time
Beginners must have a lot of money these days. I didn't have much money when I started. Get used corded tools and then upgrade when you know what you are doing and know what you personally need in a tool.
Awesome video, recently built a giant mirror frame and well, this project started my power tool collection and I ended up purchasing all the tools you mentioned, only one I had already was a biscuit cutter which I used to join the frame! Sure was a blast and am looking already at a few more woodworking projects to come, sure a cool craft/hobby to pick up. If you haven't already (and if you have I apologize) a video on making different cuts, and joints for beginners would be awesome! You mentioned Rockler in your video, just the other day noticed I had a store real close to me. Gonna check it out and leave my wallet behind on the first visit! Liked, already subbed, and can't wait for the next video!
Awesome, thanks Andrew! And videos on different types of joinery would be great, good idea! Have fun at Rockler, definitely easy to spend a lot of money there 😜
This is very helpful thanks though needed demonstration it will make it clearer

This was very helpful but I would really love to see the video on must have HAND tools. I can't find it on your listed videos. Thank you!
I have all of those, but the only one that's battery powered is one of my drills. Mostly cus my workshop is in a barn that 95% of the time is unheated, and subzero temps will kill a battery.
Well at least your beer stays cold . . . .
Has numerous details in this woodwork book t.co/z6o0f8z2H4 . The book also displays several designs and descriptions on the materials used for various woodworking processes and also the guidelines on completing various procedures appropriately. In other words, I`m happy using this book, especially in the process of learning about wood working.?

Clean informative and professional video as usual buddy! Not sure how you do it! Experience I hope to have someday.
Thanks a lot!
Sspoken like a contractor...short and to the point.
Accurate, also. Good video.

Great video Johnny and I think it will be very useful to beginners.
God Bless my friend.
Thanks Frank!
Cover the brand but almost everybody knows the color of each brand lol 😅😅😅😅
True xD or seeing the small little Bosch logo :D
Hah, yup, only so much I could do!
What color?

Great video, super informative! This is the first one of your videos that I've seen, but just subscribed so I am looking forward to seeing more. Cheers!
The drill, orbital sander and the circular saw make a lot of sense. I'm having a hard time buying into the "must have" impact driver, though. A good drill's variable torque will easily help you avoid stripping or overtightening fasteners.
Another hint that impact drivers aren't necessities is that they're so often packaged with drills for apparent "discount" package prices. That suggests that impact drivers don't sell well on their own, which suggests that not many people find value in them.
Have you used an impact driver? They’re awesome. I’ll never drive another screw with a drill again. They are so much better.
@@craftedworkshop Awesome but not necessary. I use an impact driver at school, cool, but have 2 drills at my house. One that I've had for a while that I use to drill and one that my grandpa gave me that I use to drive screws. Both put out more than enough torque to overdrive the hell out of my star drive screws.
As I said, impact drivers aren’t necessary but are really useful. They’re much more effective for driving bigger things like lag screws and are also less prone to stripping small screw heads in my experience. Most times, they come as part of a kit, which is what I mentioned in the video.
They are packaged together because they work well together, pre drilling holes and using the impact to drive fasteners is very convenient. Also I couldn’t imagine building a deck without an impact driver they are a godsend
The problem with a drill is that it wants to keep spinning and can strip out the fastener easier. The impact will drive longer fasteners with ease and is less likely to slip
At least in my experience I would rather just use the drill for drilling and the impact driver for driving fasteners
Alot of mechanics will buy a drill and driver kit for the driver instead of the drill as well!
Nice selection of tools Johnny! 👍
Thanks Fred!
Thanks for the advice!
Thank you! Very helpful
Thanks for watching!
Clean, cross grain cuts in veneered plywood can be made with a straight edge and a circular saw. Doing a very shallow scoring scoring cut first will give you a clean cut on all 4 edges of the cut. By shallow scoring cut I mean the depth of cut should be 1/64' to 1/32". After that make your full cut.
Great video Johnny!!!
Thanks Jake!
Love how you covered out the name for all the tools so people who dont know what brand they are will never know
I use my DeWalt cordless trim shower l router every day, I use it most in conjunction with the trend two part skeleton hinge jig then once the doors are hanging out comes the trend mortice jig for cutting out the locks and latches.
With the aid of these three I repeatedly fully fit a minimum of ten doors. Xx at £50 pounds per door so that's £500 a day.

just a question, isnt cordless tool weaker than the normal ones?
I got a sweet deal at HD on a Ryobi starter kit for black friday. So far so good. Has helped me with a ton of projects at home that are DIY. Now if I was were to be using them every day I'd probably go with dewalt but the ryobi suits my needs just fine

Could you recommend some combo sets with a circ saw, jigsaw, and drill?
Great info, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Very Well Explained...Lot of Info...Thumbs-Up!
Many brands or router bits now offer undersized bits which are designed for plywood. I got 3 Whiteside dado bits and they work excellent. The fit is great.
For sure, those bit sets are perfect for that kind of thing.
My brov in law has a router plunge type and geez he goes through bits like they going out of fashion and here in uk they are really exspensive
My #1 tool is a single bevel sliding miter saw. Craftsman has an amazing one I got for $180
Also cordless sawzall and skillsaw
Can it works with power line too?
Nice list but don't forget the face mask and hearing protection. It is very cheap and worth a lot.
For sure, use them on every project, they just didn’t fall under the power tool category.
I actually started using good in ears. They're insulating a lot and you can put on some podcasts :)
Hearing's for pussies
@@2ninga deafness for the "brave"
@@2ninga Tinnitus is for hardcore guys, fuck the normal hearing
I think this are the tools that you eventually will get but not all are necessary i put them in a list:
1-drill (u don't really need an impact driver but it would make ur life easier
2-circular saw
3- orbit sander
4- jig saw
5- router
p.s : swap the circular saw with the jig saw if you are doing mainly small decorative projects
I hope this is helpful
Best advice for beginners. I would add planner as number 6, but not before making necessary jigs & fixtures.
There should be more project videos on youtube using only top 3, top 4, top 5, or top 6 tools.
The total price of those 6 tools is still less than a table saw, so it will be much more aspiring for beginner woodworkers with limited budget & space. If we hone our skills based only these 6 power tools plus basic hand tools, the result will still be great.
Very useful..thank you...
this is so helpful. what would you recommend i buy first circular saw or jigsaw? i'm not building anything really just need to cut various pieces of wood from time to time (landscaping & fixing things around the house). Nothing major at all. Confused as which way to go!
Very nice video. Many thanks.
Agree with almost all you advised except on router bits. A cheap set will get you started and you will find the ones you use the most and by good quality replacements as needed. Buying a good quality bit you don't need by mistake could be the same cost as a cheap set.
I did enjoy this video. Thanks a lot.
I don't know much about blades, but I can see that most of the guys here used Diablo, so I thought that might be a good place to start. A Diablo blade on a Makita circular saw is more than just good to use, it's flat out fun and results are pretty great, even from a newbie perspective.
good to know! thanks for the info XD

Great video question on the router bits, where do you stand on the type of bit. High speed steel or carbide.
Thanks Joe! I'm a big fan of carbide. Most of the Whiteside bits I have are carbide and they leave a ridiculously clean cut and stay sharp for a very, very long time.
