Putting together a tool kit 

Our tool kit for getting started woodworking 

 

 

Our idea is to put together a woodworking tool kit thats easy to use 

Easy to store away 

Easy to move around 

Not take up too much space 

Something that can also be useful for getting started woodworking 

 

 

Hand tools and portable power tools can be good to start with because they cost less and they don’t take up as much space as full size power tools 

 

To put our kit together heres 

What we chose so far :

 

Starting with hand tools 

For all work we need 

Tools for

Measuring 

Cutting 

Drilling

Sanding

Joinery 

The Tools

Tape measure 

For all measuring 

We have a 15 feet which works fine for a lot of smaller projects 

A 12 foot is also good cause its smaller so its lighter. 

This will help keep the kit lighter 

Cost starting at $5-10 

 

 

Speed square 

We have these but we will probably be using a combination square more if were using hand tools the most 

A speed square will be more useful when we use portable power tools 

Good used as a guide for cutting with a circular saw 

Cost starting at $5-10 

 

 

Combination square 

6 inch or 12 inch 

6 inch is more compact so its a little more comfortable to use on smaller projects 

But a 12 inch would work too 

 

 

The three tools :

Tape measure 

Speed Square

Combinations Square

Cost starting at $5-10 

 

Our tool list is what we think we can use the most often 

 

If we need any other tools we can add them as they become needed
