How to become a good woodworker?
Simple question. Im a Senior in highschool and I would like to fill the rest of my life being able to build things out of wood. How do I start?

Suggestion by Gurdial Sandhu
by doing work carefully

Suggestion by Joe Daddy
Like anything else in life, you get better with practice. Start with simple projects, then increase the difficulty as your ability increases.

Suggestion by Boomzilla Volcanoduck
depending on where you are you might be able to rent time at a community woodshop as a stepping stone. If you’re thinking about spending money on college to this end I recommend finding a college with a fine arts woodworking program.

If you have to do it yourself just start simple and build up a woodshop slowly. There is a LOT you can do with a few simple/cheap tools. I started out in the spare bedroom with a drill, circular saw, miter saw, router, and jigsaw. Think about building things out of pre-cut lumber. 1×4 pine boards can be turned into awesome and cheap furniture if you build with care and planning.

To acquire tools think rummage sales and craigslist. I’ve found all the tools I listed above plus a 12″ bandsaw and tablesaw for under $ 200 total, it just took a while!

Suggestion by heart o’ gold
Hopefully you have a woodworking class at your school. That’s the place to start. Then talk to your teacher about how to do more or where you might apprentice or have an area to work.

If you have no woodworking class or shop at school, try to find someone local that you like who needs helpl around their shop in exchange for teaching you things.

The best way to learn to do this sort of thing is to get as much exposure to it and as much practice as you can.

Milwaukee 0928-29 28-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-Tool Combo Kit

May 2, 2013 By admin Leave a Comment

41CKK8CQGTL Milwaukee 0928 29 28 Volt Lithium Ion Cordless 4 Tool Combo Kit

28-volt lithium cordless 4-tool combo kit
Reciprocating saw, hammer-drill, circular saw, work light, one-hour charger
Rugged plastic bodies, cushioned anti-slip soft grips, canvas carrying bag
Includes no. 2 Phillips bit, 2 reciprocating saw blades, circular saw blade, rip fence, bag
Total weight 35.4 pounds; 5-year warranty

Milwaukee Tools is world-renowned for producing powerful, heavy-duty tools for contractors, mechanics and demanding professionals in every trade. That very same devotion to power, performance and innovation was applied when Milwaukee created the 0928-29 V28 Four-Piece Combo Kit. Included are a hammer-drill/driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, and work light. All four tools are powered by a high-performance 28-volt lithium-ion battery that weighs less than an 18-volt Ni-Cad, yet delivers twice the run time. The battery has a handy “fuel gauge” that shows how much power remains.

The hammer-drill/driver has a 1/2-inch keyless chuck and a two-speed, variable-speed motor (zero to 600 rpm, and zero to 1,800 rpm) that delivers a pumped-up 600 in./lbs. of torque. The chuck is equipped with carbide jaws that virtually eliminate bit slippage. There’s no hole too large to drill, or screw too big to drive for this portable powerhouse. And when it’s switched to the hammer mode, this tool will quickly bore through the hardest concrete, brick or stone.

The 6-1/2-inch circular saw is arguably the most powerful cordless saw on the market. According to Milwaukee, this saw can crosscut more than 300 pine 2 by 4s on a single charge. It’s equipped with a high-speed 4,200-rpm motor that chews through wood like a corded saw.

The cordless Sawzall recip saw is an ideal tool for remodelers, plumbers, and electricians. When fitted with the appropriate blade, it’ll cut practically any building material, including nail-embedded wood, metal ducts, plastic pipe, steel rods and roof shingles. Its two-speed, variable-speed motor (zero to 2,000, and zero to 3,000 strokes per minute) lets you choose the optimum cutting speed for the material. The saw has an aggressive 1-1/8-inch stroke length, and is equipped with a tool-free blade clamp and keyless adjustable shoe. The work light comes in handy when working in dark spaces. It has a super-bright xenon bulb that runs over five hours on a single charge.

All four pieces come with the patented Clip-Lok System, which allows you to securely hook the tool onto your belt or tool pouch. Besides the four tools, the 0928-29 combo kit also includes two 28-volt lithium-ion batteries, a one-hour charger, saw blades and screwdriver tips, and an oversized canvas storage bag. — Joseph Truini

Does the quality of your hand tools matter?
Is it important to get certain tools in higher quality?

Is it important to get quality tools for general use?

Why is it important to you?

Suggestion by Rhianna G
depends on who your asking lol. For common day to day use- I love my 5 dollar tool kit. If it was something past simple uses or I was going to do a rough job i might buy something a bit better. Now if you asked my father- hed tell you it really mattered ( he once told me his 75 dollar hammer was better becuase the head of his nails still looked nicer- not like it matters behind the photo frame)

Suggestion by bill
my great uncle bib was known as a master craftsman, apposed to the carpenter title. he had every old school tool known to man and he knew how to use them well enough to impress anybody. now my dad who used his uncles tools to this day and they work great. these tools have to be over 40 years old! you should get the best quality tools which i doubt they make anyway but they will last a lifetime like my great uncle bibs tools.(PS these tools were made when america was a great place to live and made the best of best things, wish i could grow up in that time…)

Suggestion by gwilsonh1973
It is important to get quality tools. For general use, sometimes you can get by with a cheaper tool, such as a hammer or sometimes a circular saw. The difference is the quality of work produced by those tools. A good Purty paint brush will work wonders with trim, doors, and such. It does not leave the stroke in prints and produces smoother coats. It is like comparing a Gerber knife to a 2 dollar knife. The same quality is true with the tools. True, on some items you are buying the name, but overall there is a reason why those name brands are the price that they are. Also the cheaper tools, for the most part, to not seem to last as long, have slow speed, less amps, and usually were out much fast. Many are not as durable as the quality tools. The reason they are important to me is that the tools effect my income.

Suggestion by Ingrid
For very frequent use it pays to buy the better quality tools.
If you use them now and then, the less expensive ones will be just fine.
I have a set of each and find myself using the cheaper ones more often for little tasks.

What tools would I need for starting a small workshop?
I want to set up a little workshop in my basement for doing some basic woodwork and whatnot. I’d like to be able to build shelves and cabinets, decorative items, etc.
What are some recommendations on tools and accessories that I absolutely should have?
There are so many different types of saws I’m utterly confused. Which would be the most versatile?
Thanks.

Suggestion by Wild Thang ™
The list is long but you’ll need a table saw to cut a straight line. I use a Sears brand.
A good jigsaw or bandsaw.
A good belt sander and a small orbital sander for finish work, a drill press and portable hand drill and a router with a variety of cutting bits and some clamps is just the basics.

The above tools provided you buy good tools like Delta Brands can be around 600.00.

Suggestion by haley_cb
Ryobi makes a line of products called all-in-1 that is very handy. They all use the same battery and charging system. It makes it extremely convenient if you like cordless tools. I have them and highly recommend them.

Taking for granted that you have all the basics (screwdrivers, hammers, etc.), here is my starting list:

As far as saws go, your must haves are a circular saw, a jig saw and maybe a table saw. Eventually, I would include a mitre saw and a saws-all.
I would definitely recommend a small hand sander with a pointed tip (for corners).
Maybe a small router for creating designs on wood surfaces.
You can’t go wrong with an 18 volt cordless drill but I still keep a plug in style drill around as well.
I like the small nail guns.
there is soo much more to list but this should accommodate you for now. Good Luck.

Suggestion by captainfreedomspace
I just started doing the same and I highly recomend two tools: a miter saw and a router. I started a small project with a circular saw and a jig saw and bought the miter saw half way through. I’m sure I cut my time at least in half and the cuts were much cleaner. The router is not absolutely necessary to make many of the items you mentioned but it can give your edges a much more appealing, finished look. Plus if you practice with it and like the woodworking you can use it in the future to make the finer connections like dovetail and biscut joints. You can get a decent miter saw for about $ 100-150 and a router for $ 50-75. Other than that a comfortable hammer, a nice big box of 1-1/2″ brad nails (most wood you will use is 7/8″ thick) and a bottle of wood glue.
