The $4K Wood Shop
Having recently had a minor windfall, I decided to splurge and finally
round out my budding shop. I have a budget of about $4K, and the entries below add up to about $3K. The rest will go on odds and ends, lumber, and anything that I may have missed. My shop is half of a two-car garage. I already have a table saw and miter saw (both poor quality), a decent router, and some small hand tools, including a decent 4-set of Irwin chisels and a few Avant planes. Projects will range from small items (pens, jewelry boxes), ranging up to furniture, and guitars if I get brave. I want to develop a range of skills involving hand tools and power tools. This is very much a personal enrichment hobby. The tools I've chosen are intended for the long haul, so I'm definitely trying to get these picks right the first time. Any suggestions or comments on my selections below?
