6 Tools to Build Almost Anything

Hi, its Ted

I often get asked by my students about what the minimal but usable tool set is.

Most of the time they want to know to help a friend or relative get into woodworking... without having to hand off a long and expensive shopping list.

And here’s my take on this…

The 6 Tools to Build Almost Anything

A great "starter pack" for serious woodworkers... which can allow you to build almost anything you want is:

1) Table saw
2) Cordless drill
3) 5" random orbit sander
4) Router
5) Tape measure
6) Combination square

That’s it.

Pretty simple right?

These 6 tools can build almost any project and will do just fine for small to medium sized projects.

It's great, especially for a beginner to try this hobby out.

Now, if you’re already a woodworker and you KNOW this hobby is for you… you’re going to want a better shop than this.

Some items you might add are:

1) Power Jointer & Thickness Planer
2) Circular Saw & Jigsaw
3) Some Japanese Saws

These tools would give you a much better shop… and expand your ability to create larger furniture and other high-value pieces.

Of course, there is one major downside.

And that’s the fact that they take up space. A scarce thing for most of us.

In fact, the other question I get asked a lot is how much space is needed to setup a shop.

My answer:

8x8 feet is plenty!

It’s taking some planning, but you can fit a lot into a 8x8 space.

That is where Ralph's new guide, Ultimate Small Shop comes in

You'll discover how to setup the perfect shop in a small space

After decades of woodworking out of various home workshops, I’ve come to realize that to build your own woodworking sanctuary it’s not about space at all – it’s in the setup.

A lot of it comes down to choosing the right kinds of shop projects: designs that use floor space economically, help create a smooth workflow, and make organization a breeze.

And in Ultimate Small Shop, Ralph will walk you through shop projects to build, how to implement design principles for a small shop...

Now even better is his guide to discounted tools (including where you can buy them at the lowest cost!)

He has gotten a lot of good feedback from folks about how it has helped them finally setup a shop they can be proud of.

So watch his video here now

To amazing small workshops,
Ted

P.S: He also talks about the top 3 mistakes made when setting up shop and how you can avoid them.

There's lots of stuff he teaches in the video, you're gonna love it.
