Getting started and tool reccomendations
I have been doing a fair amount of woodwork, and am considering doing a bit
more metalwork. Any hand tools or small machines that you love/can't live without? I know this is a broad question, and should probably bring about counter response like "Depends on what you want to make." I think I just want to be able to do the most that I can as I learn the necessary skills. I have no specific projects in mind, though I guess things involving bending and shaping will be most difficult without some sort of aid. For now, I have lots of files, a dremmel, and a bench grinder. I have been considering either picking up a micro-mill or perhaps a cross slide vise to use on my drill press. Any advise or suggestions are welcomed. |
