Andy Anderson spoke to the club about tools that beginning woodworkers should have to get started. Tips: Buy the best tool that you can afford. Y A 16 ft tape measure is sufficient; avoid the bulky bigger ones unless you are going to do framing. A blade-left circular saw makes seeing the line easier. A 3/8 inch drill with attachment for drilling straight or at an angle. A good set of chisels and a rawhide head hammer. An inexpensive miter saw and miter box. Tapered drill bits. Straight line palm sander.
