Be selective where you spend your budget, good quality cutting and
measuring
tools are an investment. By that I mean saws and chisels, I have
converted
to Japanese saws and chisels because typically their saws are very narrow
kerf and their chisels hold an edge much longer on hardwoods.

I just posted that I didn't have any of that. How could I possibly forget
the combination rip/crosscut Japanese Razor saw hanging on the wall and the
tiny coping saw and hacksaw? There - $45 worth of hand tools have kept my
urge for a $1200 laguna bandsaw at bay (barely).


thanks!
