<p>I think I'd be shocked and amazed if i went and listed all the tools i have in my garage. many years ago to help pay my way through college i worked as a auto mechanic one day i tried to figure out how much I had invested in those tools. I started with the bottom drawer of my toolbox and when I hit $1000 (in 1977) and hadn't counted everything in that drawer I quit. </p>

<p>some of the woodworking tools i have ..</p>
<p>Shopsmith with bandsaw, sander, planer, and Jointer.</p>
<p>seperate drill press</p>
<p>craftsman Radial Arm Saw ( $125 used )</p>
<p>at least 3 drills 3/8 or 1/2 inch</p>
<p>dewalt bisket joiner</p>
<p>dewalt 7.2 volt screwdriver</p>
<p>3 routers , one on a table</p>
<p>Milwaukee circular saw</p>
<p>enough hand tools to fill 3 craftsman tool chests, these include the mechanics tools along with the woodworking stuff</p>
<p>a couple of Kreg jigs ( K3 and a mini , gota mention these afterall )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now if i could get the kids 4wheelers out of the garage i'd have room for a couple more bigger tools, I've been eyeing a couple of cabinet and table saws.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and i've probably left many many tools off the list.</p>

Dewalt cordless drill, porter cable fixed base router with an extra base mounted to Kreg table top router table, drill press, Makita circular saw, porter cable pancake compressor and two gun nail set up, porter cable job site table saw, Ryobi sliding compound miter saw, scroll saw, and apart from my Kreg pocket hole jig, Dremel kit with all the fixings. I have only been woodworking for a little while but have found I can do just about everything I need with what I have. The table saw and sliding compound saw just made life easier but until then, the router, circular saw, and a straight edge were all I had. The Dremel and the scroll saw (an ancient Delta) were for small scale toys and things. I am starting to scale up and was looking to make furniture and like so the tools are getting a little bigger. The most used item out of all my tools- a tape measure, carpenters square, and an orbital sander. Grant,

<p> I just got started getting tools myself. So I am a bit of a newbie with the woodworking.</p>
<p>So far, I only have the dualsaw, the Rockwell Jawhorse, the Rockwell BladeRunner, the Bosch 18volt drill,</p>
<p>the Kreg K4 jig with a few clamps, that's about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> And I plan to attempt to make that outdoor chair from the Kreg plans. I will see how that works out.</p>

<p><cite>I like you made a chest of drawers with what was in those days a Triton work bench and a circular saw.</cite></p>
<p><cite>The frames were gang nailed together, (no pocket hole jigs in those days) anf the drawers were a exact fit meaning there were no slide rails or front faces like we would use today.</cite></p>
<p></p>
<p><cite>Its still in use today be in in my eldest sons workshop in Sydney. I asked him why it was still there and his reply was that it was "irreplaceable" because it was so strong and he could not find any thing which was affordable to replace it today.</cite></p>
<p><cite>I actually measured it up with the intention to reproduce it but I dont think I could warrant the materials purchase just to replicate it.</cite></p>
