Here's some details on my '2-Car Workshop'! A decent basic setup I think. I've got most of the basic tools and working to get more of the specialty tools.
Tool List:
- B&D 18v Tool Set
-- Drill
-- Jigsaw
-- 5 3/8" & 7" circular saws
- 7.2v cordless Dremel
- B&D RTX Roto-tool
- B&D belt sander
- Firestorm 10" miter saw
- Firestorm 10" table saw
- Skil router and router table
- Porter Cable Router
- Porter Cable random orbital sander
- Ryobi bench grinder
- Ryobi band saw
- Ryobi biscuit joiner
- B&D Workmate bench
- Stanley adjustable saw horses
- Delta 14" Bandsaw
- Ridgid oscillation spindle sander
- Ryobi drill press
- Irwin quick handi-clamps you'll see below why I mention these (and lots of other clamps)
- Your basic toolbox full o' hand tools
A few notes on my tools:
- I love the biscuit joiner, it's a tool I've recently 'discovered' and I've put it to good use.
- I'm also a huge fan of the Stanley adjustable saw horses - they're very versatile. I have a sheet of plywood that I use as an adjustable 'workbench'. I can lower these and make them flush with my miter saw or raise them up where it is easier for me to assemble things (I'm 6'4") and also use them as a bed extension for my table saw. I've drilled holes on the plywood and I can bolt down my miter saw and router table for a nice, secure bench.
- I love my Irwin quick-clamps. I'm almost obsessed with them. I need more of them… now!
- Don't care for my 18v tools. I bought them thinking it would be nice not to have a cord following me everywhere but they don't have enough power (battery or strength) to do any real work.
- Any suggestions on what might be a good next tool are appreciated!
