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?

Do you need a jointer? A lot of guys do without. And many who have them,
don't use them that much. Much of a jointers job can be done on a table saw
or with a router.

If your table saw is poor quality, look there first. IMHO

I believe you are missing a rafter square which is a solid metal
triangle with a wide edge such as the Empire 7 In. Magnum Fat Boy
Aluminum Rafter Square at Home Depot. I find this tool to be
invaluable in setting things up when working on the table saw, drill
press, checking the square of you small assemblies, etc.

While most people will say it should not happen these squares are sturdy
enough to survive being wiped from the bench onto the floor and not have
its accuracy effected.

You mentioned the "DELTA DP300L Drill Press."

I would suggest either the floor model DELTA 17-950L or DP400
(discontinued?) or a Grizzly G7944 or G7948 machine. If you have three
phase power in the shop, consider the G0521 drill press as it is a pretty
amazing machine for the money with a quill stabilization notch and even
self-reversing features for tapping holes (not likely needed in wood, but
one never knows!)

You can still get the "L" lazer add-on for the other DELTA machines but I'm
not sure about the Grizzly.

Here are links to the Grizzly machines:

Often times, people find they wish they had a larger drill press... Why not
plan for one now at a few extra $$$?

So lets save you some money and spend it better.

Get a larger bandsaw... more horse... wish I had gone higher than 1hp.
Planer get the dewalt...
Drill press go to Tractor supply and get the full floor standing model.
I paid 129 its now 169.. very good for the price. Not comercial quality
but I consider it a good unit for the price. maybe replace the belts
with linked belt.

Tenoning jig.. Woodcraft goes on sale for 59 on occasion.
Dust collection ovoid the Delta. over priced. Delta doesn't rule
anymore. Cheap crap.. so get something else, and save some money. But
make sure it is good to 1micron at least.

If you look around for used stuff you will find some excellent bargains..


Good luck... look for some cabinets that are being thrown away I modify
them cut the kick panel out , put a full skirt on top (to raise it up)
and put wheels on the bottom 2 fixed and 2 full locking. They make
excellent tool tables and move around, and hold all the items you need
for the tools. I make wedges for the fixed wheels since a concrete floor
is rarely level for all 4 wheels, to lock the one floater to the ground.
Always try to wedge the fixed wheel.

I realize money is no object in your case, but take a good look at Scarey Sharp.
A buck's worth of glass at the thrift store and you can buy an awful lot of
sandpaper for the cost of those waterstones. No flattening, soaking, etc.
required. Buy a jig though. The $12 one everybody owns will do fine after you
tune it.


Square Empire Level E250 12-Inch Combo Square 12

Get a Starrett and keep it in the plastic bag and cardboard box when not in use.
This is your reference square. Get a second Starrett for daily use. I got a
used one for $25 off the Bay, and it lives on the bench.


Lubricating Paste Minwax Paste Finishing Wax 12

Johnson's Paste Wax. Been around for almost 100 years. Works great. The
Johnson company sponsored Fibber Magee and Molly for 20 years on the radio, and
kept mint record copies of the shows in their vault for 50 years. They released
these to the public domain back in the 80's so people could enjoy the shows.
Some 700 episodes still exist, most in extremely good sound quality. They
deserve to be supported for that act of generosity alone.

Rob suggested a Good table saw. I agree,. Put a Forrestt Woodworker-II on it.
If you keep your old saw, still upgrade to the WW-II blade.

I second the **FLOOR STAND*** drill press. The table top one will always
take up resented room on a work table sowmwhere and collect chips. The
prices are not much higher and deeper throats are easy to afford.

For $4000 you can get the Festool Kapex miter saw, a Festool vacuum, a
Festool plunge cut saw and a Festool MFT work table...plus a few
accessories - very few. On the bright side, you'll cut out 25 years
of lusting after the stuff.

A one car garage is not a lot of space, so you should certainly do a
layout and figure out what you actually have room for. If you buy a
tool in anticipation of doing work, and have to frequently move it to
do the work you actually do, you'll learn to hate that tool and you'll

Wheels would be my main consideration for major items. Don't make your
work area inflexible by installing equipment and work benches that can
not be moved. I only have one fixed bench, everything else is on
wheels. If you have a project where you are cutting many parts on the
table saw, you can arrange your work space such that you have a
workbench close to the saw so you can pick up lay down without a lot of
movement. If you need an extension of the table saw move the bench to
be an out feed for the saw. If you are working on a large project and
need a lot of floor space every thing but what you are working on moves
to the side.

One thing I did not do was put the correct wheels on my benches. You
would be surprised what a loaded workbench weighs. Over a couple of
years the hard rubber one tend to get a flat spot which makes them hard
to move. Go for cast iron or equivalent.

I believe you are missing a rafter square which is a solid metal triangle
with a wide edge such as the Empire 7 In. Magnum Fat Boy Aluminum Rafter
Square at Home Depot. I find this tool to be invaluable in setting
things up when working on the table saw, drill press, checking the square
of you small assemblies, etc.

While most people will say it should not happen these squares are sturdy
enough to survive being wiped from the bench onto the floor and not have
its accuracy effected.

Hope it is more square than a Speedsquare. Never got ahold of one of them
that was square.

After doing without for several years I bought a Grizzly 8 inch. It is
the least-used tool in the shop. All I use it for is prep. All it does
is give me a set of boards flat on one side with a dependable right
angle on one edge.

I consider it perhaps not the very best tool investment I ever made,
but certainly in the top ten. Just because it turns the prep work into
an afternoon instead of a day or two, and just because it's so nice
when everything's milled right.

I got along without it for a long time, and it sits idle for long
periods but every time I use it I feel like I got my money's worth.
I've spent more money to get less satisfaction on quite a few other
purchases.

That said, I waited till I had the money and I knew of several places
where I could get rough cut air dried lumber. Being able to mill any
old board I brought into the shop was worth quite a bit to me. Your
mileage might vary, but I wouldn't get rid of mine unless I was
replacing it with a bigger and better one. :-)

I put wheels under my workbench, but then jacked it up and rested it on a
4x4 (or maybe a 6x6) at each end. No weight on the wheels and the bench
is steadier as well. Since I move the bench at most once a year that
works out well. It might be a PITA if you move your bench frequently.

suggestions or comments on my selections below?


1. I would look at the Grizzly dust collection and see if you can get
some more suck for the same or similar buck.

2. I don't see an air compressor or any guns listed. I'd say a Harbor
Freight $150 air compressor. A few reels of hose from HF also and some
fittings. Setup 2 or 3 outlets at different points in the shop. and a
few quality staple and brad nailers. I have a bostich 18 gague nailer,
no oil 2" to 5/8" and it has never jambed once. Use it weekly.

3. I like the Dewalt 735 MUCH better than the Makita or any of the
planers of that design style. It is just a really great workhorse

A couple of suggestions. The Rikon mini is about the same price, but has
a 12" swing and 16" between centers and, IMNSHO, an easier belt change.

http://www.rikontools.com/productpage_70-100.htm

The next step up, and what I now use in my small shop, is the General
25-200 Maxi-lathe VS. It has variable speed, a swivel head, a 12" swing
inboard and a 19" swing outboard. 17" between centers.

http://www.general.ca/site_general/g_produits/lathe/25-200.html

Whatever you get, be aware that the cost of tools and accessories often
exceeds the cost of the lathe, especially on the lower priced lathes.
Here's what the local turners club suggests for tools.

If your table saw is poor quality, look there first. IMHO

astonishing.

Be sure to "take inventory" and double check that your electrical and/or
lighting configuration is adequate for your plans. For instance, is 220v
power available/desirable for your next table saw? Personally, I've
been working on these things as I collect tools. I can repost or try to
provide links to some detailed suggestions I received if you are interested.

I'd suggest the first thing is as a couple of others have done--slow
down on the spending spree!!!

First, unless you're getting into this for a profit or other reason,
what's the hurry other than gratification of spending a wad of money in
the pocket?

If there really isn't a pressing time need, I'd also second the
suggestion (particularly if you're in a reasonably sizable population
center) to just watch for sale items in estate sales, yard sales,
craig's list, etc., etc, etc., ... , as well as go check out the pawn
shops and similar. Value is to be had there that may exceed quality of
what you're looking at now for less expenditure. Cost is some effort
and time...

Also, I'd suggest the first place I'd start as well would be to either
replace or at least upgrade the TS--it's the workhouse of almost all
cabinet work unless you're going to be primarily hand work (and, if
that's the case, I'd suggest the investment would be better served in
higher-quality hand tools instead of machines).

I'll also concur w/ one and disagree w/ one -- if cabinet work is your
plan and you have any intention of using other than already surfaced
solid lumber (and I can't imagine anything else, personally), then
definitely imo the largest jointer you can fit into the space is well
worth it. Again, that's my usage; at least one other poster always
disagrees and disparages same tool...

Again, I'd also emphasize that the shop area you're speaking of isn't
very big you'll find when/if all the stuff you've listed were to show
up--do some serious planning on work station, work flow, etc., etc.,
etc., or you'll have a roomful of tools and nowhere to work. Don't
overlook the need for assembly and intermediate work space as well in
that layout. Every board that goes thru the planer has to start on one
side and end up on the other. If it's a pile of rough lumber being
prepared, that's a need for a stack on each side and room for the cart
to bring the stack back from the outfeed end to the infeed for the next
pass. Which of course, illustrates that there ought to be room for two
carts to hold the stack so don't have to unload the one and pile it
somewhere so can return it to the outfeed side...

Where does one get those semi-angled wheels that set down when you lift the
other end of the workbench / table?

This would avoid flat tires, rolling problems and mechanisms to lower the
wheels.

Before you spend any money, figure out what you can fit in the space.
You'll be much happier with less that works together rather than more
that's constantly in the way. Sketchup is an invaluable tool for this,
especially with the use of the 3D library.

Here's a tip: figure out how much feed/outfeed room your tools need and
mark it off. No tool can intrude into that space, but other feed/outfeed
areas can (and should) share the space. I put my planer and jointer at a
right angle to the table saw so they could share the same outfeed space.

Like others have suggested, I'd upgrade the table saw first. Next, I'd
get a good crosscut style of saw, either a CMS or RAS. That takes care
of 90% of the cutting in my shop. If your existing table saw still cuts
square enough and is in a little portable box, you may want to keep it
and use it for those times when you need to make another cut and have the
good saw set up for another option.

For the original poster. You said you have an older table saw, but you
gave no details.

Don't confuse the comments on the recent Craftsman table saws with the
10" Craftsman saws of the 50's and 60's. If you do it is like
comparing a Walmart special to a Delta.

If you have a 50's or 60's table saw it will serve your purpose and
probably have less plastic than the current expensive saws.

I have a 1968 10" Craftsman table saw that I inherited. My father inlaw
was going to a lot of woodworking and bought the best they had. I
aligned it once, and have not had to make any adjustments since.

Do have to keep a good coat of wax on the cast iron top, but it looks
like new.

I think you wooshed me... I have no clue what you're talking about.

I think this guy is to Josepi what Dennis is to Rob...


Hmmm.... ok. But maybe if Dennis had his own Dennis. :-)

Yeah, that's probably a more accurate assessment... Geez, every day I become more keenly

existence it must be to waste so much of it stalking other people on the internet.

Did.... I pounded a couple indents into the backs of the rails so the
wheels drop down and hold.
