Couple random thoughts from someone who just got through cutting their teeth woodworking.
Get 1 or 2 projects that you are dead set on building and buy the tools you need to complete those builds. Buy the tools as you need them. I accumulated multiple tools i havent used and i have done a few projects soo far. I built a few tables by using a speed square and circular saw before i finally could pick up a miter saw. Miter saw can make certain tasks soo much easier BUT i would take a circular saw over the miter saw as a beginner. Its soo much more capable and it teaches you ways to measure angles and a deeper understanding of cutting without all the expensive and sometimes complicated big power tools. My speed squares, tape measure, marking pencil, sander and circular saw built me quite a few projects and i am very proud of them. Thanks again badass rockstars

Garage sales work well for the basics and well some of the advanced tools as well.
Again great advice again buddy keep em coming.
Btw love the intro quotes
Hey man thanks ! Good tip on the garage sales . Skäl 🫡
Woodworking/Joinery books/Used books for cheap/blue print plans. Don't shy away from used tools. Still using my dad's craftman 113 tablesaw that is 40 years old. 😁
😂 love it !
I have been a wood artist for over 30 years. Everything you have said Daniel was dead on. Love your shows buddy.
Awesome ! Thanks so much for tuning in ! Skäl 🫡
When i first started I had access to a skill saw, straight edge, and a drill qith various bits. I built 4 subwoofer enclousers which I wholesaled out. Bought a tablesaw & brad nailer. Rinse repeat a few times and bam I had some tools. Been collecting ever since until my storage shed was broke into. They got everything..! Thank God I had Insurance..!
Hell yeah. And can’t stand no thief
Yeah, my Garage just got hit and all my DeWalt Tools, alo g with some Snap-On Stuff is gone....I now have Cameras...and those cost me $500!! Damn, that's all I got. Sorry you got robbed as well Bro. It sure does suck. I work hard for what little I have as I'm sure you do as well
@@dgperforms1 Damn man that really sucks..! Any idea who it was? Turned out in my area a bunch of meth heads had a huge 5 State storage shed theft ring. The cop told me the few people they busted were involved with over 2 million in stolen goods.
I sure hope you get your stuff back or least some of it.
I have an idea who it was, but proving it is another thing....
@@dgperforms1 wow man wtf !
When I started, I had a drill, Skilsaw, band saw and a sander. I did so much with those.
Great video 🤘🏼 To all the newbies out there, Get after it! Don't let anything stand in the way of your desire and creativity. Goodwill even has tools you can pick up (just double check they work). Cuz there's a lot of people who donate old tools that still work. Hoping someone will pick it up and make a step towards a better life with it.
Can't wait to see what you Rock Out next

Indeed my dear friend , indeed ‘ skäl 🫡

Great talk man!! I’ve been working with wood for 55 years. Your friend from Tennessee

This is exactly why I love your channel. You don't need a million bucks worth of tools, although my home depot credit card says otherwise. Basic, common tools can produce amazing work with practice and skill.
I bought a dozen little tape measures of the same make/model, so there is no variation between them and keep them at each tool station. No need to walk off with the tape measure. Also a mechanical pencil at each tool station. Each station has a little "cup/box" where these items live along with other tools appropriate to the station, like drill chuck, router arbor tool, etc. I've found that if I have a specific place that is quickly and easily accessible, I'm more likely to put things where they belong and find them faster.
Indeed ! 😂 I made all my employees out in the field buy fat max tape measures , that way we have accurate measurements and cuts due to tapes reading different . 😂
On a related note, clamps. There are never enough woodworkers telling you that you need more clamps :) One thing that many people seem to miss is that you can over pressure a clamp, driving out the glue, or putting compression marks into the wood. It is almost always better to use more clamps at a lower pressure, than fewer clamps at a high pressue, which is perfect for those cheap/weaker Harbor Freight clamps. Buy a few clamps every now and again and you'll be clamped up in no time.
I’ve stated that same fact in a few of my videos , great point brother .
When I started in November 2022 I had a cordless black and decker drill and a cheapo HF reciprocating saw. I had been watching the wood wrights shop for years and thinking about starting but I was still married to my ex-wife at the time and anything I wanted to try to do like that I was ran into the ground till I wouldn't do it. My new fiance found out about my interest and encouraged it. I went to a pawn shop soon after and got a late 70s to early 80s black and decker corded circular saw for 10$ got 2 sets of 12 inch squeeze clamps from HF. For Christmas I received a warrior belt sander from my fiance and set of chisels from my fiance's daughter. Used those for almost a year until I found a table saw and miter saw for 70$. I used pallets and scrap wood from a pallet company to build almost every I've built so you can get started pretty cheap. Encouragement is very important also. Even if it comes from yourself!!!! Happy sawdust everyone
Nice my friend ! Thanks for the info ! Skäl 🫡
Hey Brother, you touched on it briefly: recommend that a new user make an attempt to select a power tool brand and stick with it, especially if they are going to go the cordless route. Having a battery platform that is interchangeable will be a cost savings. Pick up a kit that has a charger and couple of batteries and then future purchases can be just the bare tool. Eventually they will want to get more batteries but a couple will be enough to get them started.
Off the top of my head I can't remember who says the following: "you can never have enough woodworkers telling you that you don't have enough clamps", or words to that effect. So true. Harbor Freight has "F"-style clamps for a very good price. They may not be of the highest quality, but these clamps will get the job done. If one keeps an eye open for the sales you can get a dozen clamps of various size for a very good price.
There are several videos out there in CZcams land that discuss what to purchase when getting started. Some are not very good, others, like yours, are good. Many of these videos and the comments mention going the used tool route. This is pretty good advice as it can certainly save money. What I haven't seen is how to purchase used tools to make sure you are not getting ripped off or putting yourself in danger. I realize this could be a very lengthy discussion, especially with the larger tools (table saw, drill press, jointer, etc.).
Hey man lots of great points to add on to the video ! Thank you for that ‘ great information here ! Skäl 🫡
They had a 6 pack of those Hart brand little tapes on the clearance rack in Walmart. I keep one in my pocket everywhere I go.
Howdy Mr. Viking...😊
Good video. 👍 I hope our previous discussions was part of the inspiration of this video.
The talking points I would have included:
1) Reading and understanding the tools instruction booklet as well as keeping them instead of throwing them away. I'd say the majority of woodworkers these days didn't have 7 years of shop class (7th grade thru 12th as I did). Having a hands on Instructor teaching you tool safety AND tool maintenance is MUCH MUCH wayyy different than teaching yourself how to use a tool you've never used and are unfamiliar with using. An example would be that alot of people don't realize that the bolt holding on a blade of a Circular saw has to be loosened in the opposite direction as a typical screw/bolt. (Some saws anyways). I've seen pics/posts where a person actually beared down so hard trying to loosen the bolt that they sheared off the head. Had the kept and read the manual, that wouldn't have happened.
2) Paying attention!!! Nothing else going on in world is more important than the piece you are cutting right then and there. For real newbies....I wouldn't even recommend hearing protection the first few times. Eye protection, absolutely, but ear plugs?? Well, it's debatable but at least the first few times, don't wear any. Reason for this is that a person needs to HEAR the tool in action as well as FEEL the tools vibrations. Get to know what the "Normal" operation sound of that tool is and become familiar with it. THIS is what it's supposed to sound like. If that "sound" changes, STOP!!! You're doing something wrong, cutting a bad angle, going too fast etc etc.
3) Try NOT to use multiple measuring tapes. One tape vs. another may be slightly different in its measuring. Alot of people don't know what "Burning an inch" actually means.
To sum it up....
4) You discussed pencils. People need to know that pencils are ALIVE and don't like being sharpened, so when you set one down and walk away....It makes a run for it. Sooo...buy a BOX of them and ALWAYS have multiples. That being said....A GOOD pencil sharpener is a MUST. I use an old fashioned style hand crank sharpener, the ones we had mounted to a wall in school. They cost about $20 bucks and it's money well spent. And honestly....Can ya blame the pencil for making a run for it? If I was being inserted into a grinder, I think I'd run for the hills too. 😅😅😅
Skäl 🫡 well put
I now have 62 F clamps and 12 squeeze clamps. 8 panel clamps, 4-2 ft and 4-4 ft.
A great beginner’s guide Daniel! My 2 cents on some thoughts to keep in mind for the beginner’s, corded or battery powered, the battery powered tools have come a long, long way since I started many years ago. “No power cords to fumble with, easier to handle the tools” Don’t buy twice, in other words you get what you pay for, good quality saves you in the long run! Consider what you have for working space i.e your workshop. Lastly as my 3 boys were becoming young men and I was helping them acquire tools, Estate sales are a great place to get very good quality tools at amazing prices. Thanks Daniel, Take care Wayne
Absolutely great points
I first started I spent around $40.. All harbor freight. Drill, circular saw, couple small things. Then I got a task force table saw at a yard sale couple years after. As the tools burnt up upgraded what I actually use from Walmart specials. Now I got a Dewalt XR everything and dewalt jobsite table saw. Got a small shop. But it works for me..
This is awesome my friend ! Thanks for sharing . Skäl 🫡
Thank you again sir. Very helpful. I have most of these thanks to my wife buying me a ryobi kit a couple of years ago. Next table saw and palm router…and of course the Diablo blades. ROCKSTAR!
Yes DIABLO ! 😆 skäl 🫡
Great job explaining to anyone new to woodworking, start small accumulate new tools over time, most importantly have fun!
Absolutely thank you brother skäl 🫡
A great place to look for used tools is estate sales. Sometimes the things you find, especially larger tools, need a little bit of elbow grease to clean them up. If you're willing to put in the work you can often times get killer deals.
Nice input ‘ skäl 🫡
It's always a good day when I can enjoy a new video from you with my coffee! You're the rockstar Daniel! I've been collecting tools throughout. I get a lot of stuff off of facebook marketplace. In fact, I just purchased an older Delta band saw for $120! It works like a champ!
Hell yes ! Thanks my friend ! I really appreciate ya ‘ skäl 🫡
Great info for guys getting into the game.
Thanks Daniel
I started with borrowed and hand-me-down tools. I used the tools until they no longer served my purpose. I then searched garage sales and facebook marketplace to find what I needed. Last year I bought my 1st brand new power tool. I still browse marketplace, from time to time tho
Hell yes !
Fabulous video!
You managed to create a list and to make it entertaining as well!
Thank you so much. 👍👍
Hell yeah. Mission accomplished ! Skäl 🫡
Great info Daniel. I started out using my husband's tools (he's a jack of all trades), but have slowly been getting my own. I'm kinda OCD, so having my own stuff at hand that I don't have to clean before I use it is a goal of mine. 😊
🤣 I understand that completely
Thanks man! That was FULL of Value!
My pleasure
Very nice video man. Love how you take the time to make this type of video. Much appreciated
Absolutely brother ! My pleasure
I absolutely need a planer. I do get by, making a router planing jig but ya know. A thickness planer would make my job easier and room cleaner
This is the video i needed today !
Thank you very much !
😊
My pleasure
Good advice! Thank you Daniel 😊
You’re welcome it’s my pleasure . Skäl 🫡
I started with a dewalt job site saw and still have it. Great informational video. Rock on bro
Thanks brother Skäl 🫡
I started out borrowing my father in laws job site table saw, brothers miter saw, and hammy down power tool kit, sold a couple cutting boards was able to get my own miter saw, circular saw and a used jointer, it’s an oldie boice-crane jointer from a good friend. Finally have my own job site table saw. One hundred percent true though about the table saw it’s the heart of the shop. Love the video gives a beginner a great idea of what to start with and how to get there foot in the door!
Nice ! What ever it takes kinda attitude I love it ‘ , I’ve had so many damn request on what type of tools to start with so figured I’d break it down . Thanks for tuning in .
@@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks I think you did amazing and your one of the few people that actually recommend PPE which is more important than any tool.
Great video for beginners, but I think we also need to think about dust collection
True
I absolutely love your videos.
Thanks so very much
Love the vids, keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the info. Your always so helpful 😊
You’re so very welcome
I have COPD. I wear a respirator every time I get out there.
😅HI love your channel. Just want to mention Ridgid tool from homedepot. They have a great warranty lifetime for all charging and batteries and the tool. They are what I uses. Thanks for the great channel 😂🎉
Skäl 🫡 happy to have you my friend ! Glad you’re getting some good info from the content !
I was given a jigsaw once I never understood why but it was a good one in my country and grandpa gave it me so I kept it for “just in case” as I started Projects I used that forever cos it’s what I had, I bought a square, a mitre box with hand saw and a cheap plane also stole the kids school pencils, I stayed like this for about a year practicing on gifts and presents till I got “orders” that I made, saved money and bought the table saw. I don’t have a planer/jointer cos I don’t have the space, 3x4m is not big when full with wood and tools ….. my advice to others too is don’t skimp on a good wood glue, that and time can save on screws (depending on the project) hence saves some cash
Awesome !
I found an old belt driven Craftsman table saw, paid a whopping $25 for. Still have that thing
Bad Ass
Another great video explaining just how simple it IS to get started…Loving the new clipart 😄…Keep it up brother 😎

Also check local pawn shops/garage sales and second hand stores. Some great treasures can be found in those places!
Absolutely
M8 this is so insightful on 2 fold. One to see what u would recommend for people starting out a think your pretty much on point on every item you listed but there is 2 essentials a always consider shop items and that's a big ass mug and tea bags/coffe! Second point for me to buy the stuff u recommend here in Scotland the DeWalt table saw £449($510) the trim router £160($190) the combo kit just the drill and driver with 2 batteries £229($250) circular saw £150($170-180) sander a always go corded so decent one £50-80($70-110) u guys get such good deals on the combo kits over there. For the 3 tool combo kit over here your talking arround £350($400) it's mental. Stay badass dude. 🏴👍🤘

Also another great place to get power tools, visit your local flea Market.
Indeed
Skills job site table saw has the same type of fence as Dewalt at about 1/2 the price.if you need to stretch them dollars.
Nice 👍
Been using my Black and Decker drill and driver for 8 years now. I've lost 3 batteries in that time.
Hot damn
Son! I Say Son! I got. I got the tools! I just. I Say! I just need the Laidy's.
🤣
Clamps are not cheap … more like 500 dollars to get good ones and you need many different sizes at least 12 claps … Dewalt and Maketa tools are great … I would say 5000 dollars will get you a really good shop for small projects…. But that can be over a year time … and if you use Hercules tools from harbor freight you will do just fine and that would be at a cost of 3000 dollars … now a days I use 2 or 3 routers at a time because I hate changing bits .. I gather much more work done not changing bits … it’s awesome … but very expensive…. However …. I’m not young … I’ve been at this for years …. So I can afford it … all things take time … over time you will learn to buy good quality tools … your quality of work will be rewarded
Indeed
Hey good morning Daniel! What compound miter saw would you recommend? Size? I'm ready to get one but not sure which one. Thank you. Have a super day!
I’ve heard much good things about the Hercules brand being great for the price point , I love my 12” dewalt compound miter saw , however it’s pretty bulky and heavy so is 12” saw necessary I don’t believe so so if you go to a 10” that’d probably be the best bet , and make sure it works for your set up as it most saws slides backward and if you have it tight to the wall you’ll be hitting the wall , make sure to keep that in mind , because some saws slide up which can be tight to the wall. So just some pointers
@@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks it would have to be a portable version since my little shop is just that...little! Thank you!
@3mulespossum def get a 10”
Yeah, my planer burned up on me today. Only 4 years old.
Dang
When I started they didn’t make battery powered tools 😂 yeah I’m that old.
Now how do you live with only 2 tape measures?
I’ve got 5 and always have to hunt them down.
I loose them often ! Lol , those are the parts of my videos that get edited out , where I’m spinning in circles looking for my tape ! 😂
