Tool #1: Quality Tape Measure
Dewalt 25' Tape Measure
amzn.to/41z78q4
Tool #2: Cordless 6-1/2'' Circular Saw
(I recommend getting a 6-1/2'' blade over 7-1/4''. A 6-1/2" circular saw is significantly cheaper than 7-1/4" while the max cut depth between the two is pretty similar.)
DEWALT 6-1/2" Circular Saw:
amzn.to/3MCtwsz
RYOBI 5-1/2'' Circular Saw(Budget version, but note it is a 5-1/2" blade not 6-1/2")
amzn.to/42LLXlC
Tool #3: Speed Square
12" Speed Square:
amzn.to/3O0rYeH
Tool#4: Saw Guide
100'' Straight Edge Saw guide:
amzn.to/3UhCOxz
Tool #5: Drill (Maybe an impact driver as well)
Dewalt Drill:
amzn.to/3VVpkso
Dewalt Drill + Impact Driver:
amzn.to/49SAvbc
DEWALT bit set (You'll need bits, get something like this and you'll never have to worry about bits ever):
amzn.to/3I2ph8x
Tool #6: Trigger Clamps
Trigger Clamps (4) 6" & (2) 12":
amzn.to/41l0iUQ

Corded Palm Sander(Budget sander):
amzn.to/3LOlixw
Tool #8 Saw Horses:
Basic Saw Horses:

Tool kits are the cheapest way to buy cordless tools. If you have the money to buy everything upfront this is what I recommend buying.
Dewalt 4-tool Combo Kit:
amzn.to/42ot7kt
Dewalt Jobsite Table Saw (This is the best jobsite table saw):
Dewalt 8-1/4" Table Saw:

Im a beginner in woodwork and im from the Netherlands 🏆💪
When I started woodworking the most important "tool" that I had was a very large rubbish bin 😁
After yesterday I have to completely agree. For a simple project it turned out to be a complete failure. I’m sure it’s user error.
I REALLY dig your list. Everyone loves to push their sponsors, but you just blasted every other list by keeping it REAL
Love the outro!
I really appreciate the fact that as your channel grows, you continue to cater to us beginners. I've watched other makers get new shiny toys and forget what drew a lot of new woodworkers in and start making things that newbies just can't do yet.
I always look forward to your videos and thank you for making your plans free on your site.
Thanks again! I look forward to your next video.
My goal is to keep the channel content always geared toward beginner content, but will do some projects that are a higher level
Loving your videos, good information presented like a pro!. Keep up the great work.
Your content is soo good! I'm glad i found your channel
Thank you so much for this video. I am a 56 year old woman looking to get into woodworking, and I didn't know where to start.
I am a beginner. Thank you for the tips. From Winnipeg Manitoba Canada
Right on time. Looking at outdoor furniture builds as a side-hustle. And thinking, what tools and work benches will I need to make that less difficult? BAM. Thanks.
Subscribed from Ukraine. I like your vids :) I do feel some inspiration/motivation after I saw them
Great job! Looking forward to more.
Thanks for the information!
I’m learning a lot from your videos!
Cordless brings me joy too lol.
I really like your teaching style. Very informative and not too much outlandish talk. Really great experience watching. Thank you
It's great to watch as a beginner with so much constructive advice. Thanks and please keep it up.
Thank you for all the Great information!!!
I'm new (very) to woodworking. These recommendations are right on what I've been designing from watching hours of videos. On that note, you are one of the best presenters out there - sharp, quick paced, valuable. And the music you use doesn't put me to sleep ... trust me, this happens more than you'd think after watching a few longer videos back to back. Thanks for the great content (esp the French cleat system video).
👍🏾👍🏻👍👍🏿👍🏽👍🏼
New to your channel seems you catter to being wood workers and that’s great that’s what I am looking for
I really appreciate your earnest review for middle of the road tools especially for beginners. You've got another follower.
In order i went: miter saw, table saw, planer, jointer, drill press, band saw, laser engraver, cnc router, all in 3 months. Also get the skil table saw which takes dado stacks.
i did subscribed and i like the videos real good and i also like the free plans that you share keep up the good work and i am from Dalton Georgia
i like the tape measure that holds the position until you push the button, They are more expensive but allows hands free adjustment,
Thank you for putting these videos and plans out. I'm like most a beginner with most the tools you've shown but lack the skills to bring it all together. Your videos and plan provide guys like me the know how and now the skills. Thanks. From Florida.
Thank you sir !
Have watched a few of your videos, and can't believe I wasn't subscribed. Now I am 😉 down here in Australia
Mahalo friend, I appreciate this one. I ordered a speed square and additional saw horses because of this video
I really enjoy your channel! Basics, plans, well edited, and just plain enjoyable. Made my first project (the cedar planter box) from this channel and gave it as a gift. Thank you for all you do!
For sliding miter saws, make sure you have the clearance behind the saw if you're not going to spring for a flush back. Most miter saws have linear rods through bearing blocks that extend behind the saw in it's fully back state. If you don't account for that and buy one, you're gonna have to put your saw like 10" out from the wall. A flush back saw either puts the linear rods in a forward position or uses a set of hinges to control the motion so you can mount it fully against the wall. The Bosch miter saw in this video is a flush back saw I think. Bosch calls their motion system "Axial Glide"
D'accordo! I agree, good list. Beginners probably need one of those sweet hatchets so that they can beat their mishaps into firewood. We've all done it. You should also tell them to have patience.
Great advice!
This was so helpful. Thanks!
excellent. no more words to say. I enjoy watching your videos.i tried some of your plans and they turned out very good.helpful videos for the beginners.
Really love your channel, I am just getting into wood working and I will be building your outfeed table for my table saw will have to adjust it to fit my Skil table saw but looking forward to it, thank you again for making your channel, newbie friendly.
Great call on the 4 saw horses, I have 2 and never thought of just getting another pair to make a bigger work area. Serious "duh" moment.
As for the miter saw, best tool addition to my shop so far. I was between a table saw and miter saw, but like you said, I work more with dimensional lumber and for me the miter is stupid easy to set up for reptitive beam cuts.
Same with me, total "duh" moment! Have no idea why I didn't think of that!
I think the miter saw is more versatile for DIY and beginner woodworking than the table saw. I made my 2 sawhorses (36" top width) and a cutting grid that fits over the sawhorses to do the breakdown on sheet goods. I use a lot of 2x stock so the miter is fast, easy, and safer for me than a table saw. Thanks for all the info and tips. I really enjoy your channel.
Great video! Keep up the good work you are doing!
great tips!! thanks!!
Good info.
Awesome. You have a great way with words and you get to the point. I always learn a lot from you and I'm going to start building your 2 piece work bench. I really enjoyed your Circular saw segment, something I'm using a lot because I can't get enough power in my shop for a 15 amp table saw (I only have 100 amp panel). so yeah, THANKS
Great video. I am just really starting with woodworking but great suggestions. The only thing I would add would be maybe a shop vac and some adapters to hook up to tools for dust collection and to clean up the mess
That's a fair addition, I didn't put that in there because a lot of people start with building outside in the driveway
Thx
Made it to the end of the video, loved it and I’m down here in Dallas Texas.
I hadn’t thought of the 4 saw horses thing, going to buy another 2, it’s been sketchy cutting stuff with only 2, I’ve just been holding it with my offhand, hoping things don’t flip up and break my nose.
I bought the Bora Straight Cut Guide because you used it in an earlier video. It works great. I would love to see how the new shop is coming along. SE Idaho. Thanks For the videos!!
I’ll be setting in on finishing the insulation hopefully by the end of May. Just not a lot of free time with making videos and working a day job. But I’ll definitely be in there by the fall.
Good advice thanks. If I may suggest, it is a different situation for beginners, as some would be committed to make a career out of it, while others unsure whether they'll commit or just leave it at the hobby level. Thus tools & prices would certainly be different.
I have a Chicago table saw and I can't get that knife blade to lineup
Curious what software you use to make your plans? Like the plans for your cedar planter box. They are so clean and easy to understand. Thanks
Thanks! It’s a combo of Adobe illustrator and sketchup
Since watching your modular table videos I've planned to build an "extendable" mitre saw bench. Something with flip-up ends with the track built into them. Means a folded-down workbench can be stored or moved somewhere without a lot of space (like my situation). Someone that puts plans online for anyone to use should do this. ;-)
On a semi-related note, this video really demonstrates how subjective all this stuff is, too. Blacktail Studio said #1 should always be a table saw but his situation is different to most. Dust collection will play a big part in this, too - working outside? Not too much of a problem. Small indoor shop? You need to pay even more attention to the amount of junk you breathe in.
Great idea for the folding ends on the miter saw. I’ve thought about doing something similar on my utility tables. I can appreciate good dust control, but most of the time if I start to really throw a lot of dust around I just wear a mask. Someday I’ll have good dust control though
Great video! Do you have any suggestions for nail guns? Thank you!
I highly recommend the Dewalt 18 ga nail gun
I never seem to be able to cut a straight line with a circular saw, and when I try to get to the end of it it kicks back. What am I doing wrong? My goal eventually is to be able to build my own greenhouse, which I thought would be pretty simple, but apparently not so much.
Yeah, that’s another thing I need is a miter saw table .
Could be a couple of different reasons
1. Are you using a saw guide?(I recommend the one I use if you don’t)
2. Your circular saw could be out of alignment between the blade and the guide. (My first circular saw was like that and I could never cut straight)
Oooh I love the video but the ryobi is 18 volt and therefore less power comment got me riled up.
Dewalt advertises as “20 volt max” but it’s still the same as something that is nominally 18 volt.
They are not allowed to do that in the EU, and are forced to advertise the same tools as 18 volt.
It’s a marketing trick i think is a little shady.
Still use Dewalt myself and agree they have good tools but I heard it and thought I’d mention it.
Never knew that. Good to know 👍🏼
Where do you get the motivation
Sadly, I can’t provide that for you
What brand is that saw guide ?
Here is the link to the guide
amzn.to/3UhCOxz
😉
Tool brand its not important if you are not planning making a living using the tools. I have several well known brands ( dewalt /ryobi) and the one i like the most are the harbor freight ones. (Hercules/ bauer/chicago electric)
Harbor Freight tools are my guilty pleasure
20 and 18 volt are the same.
I’m learning that it’s a bit of a marketing scheme. You learn new things every day
@@BearMountainBuilds true learning is a way of life. It was just meant as a FYI.
Get Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita. Ryobi is junk and Kobalt and Craftsman is not much better. If you are ballin and want top of the line get Festool.
It always comes down to how much money you want to spend. I’ll die on the Dewalt hill at this point since I’m so entrenched in the system
@@BearMountainBuilds I had a Ryobi sander and when it broke they told me tough luck. Even Ryobi sponsored CZcamsrs have told it’s junk.
Dewalt has always stands by their tools and if anything breaks they always replace it. It might be a few more bucks but it’s more than worth it.
Hi love the vids. Unfortunately I watch way too many of these things and have found several small niggles. I am from the uk so no 1 inches. Yes inches we use mm in the uk and most yanks use inches and it’s so time consuming looking up conversion tables all the time to try and follow along with your videos. No 2. All these great tools you use are literally so expensive to get sent to the uk and to be honest uk tools don’t seem as good as your kit. No3. Lumber/ timber. I know you guys live in a vast tree covered paradise but timber is so expensive in the uk. Even plywood sheets are expensive and we pretty much have one choice to pick from unless you look at osb or a composite. So could you try a few projects that could take that into consideration. But after my long winded moan keep up the great work love your channel. Nick
