New to Woodworking Advice on First Tools
Recently moved to a new home and finally have the time and space to try
doing some woodworking projects. Someone I spoke to about tools (he happens to do a lot of woodworking) suggested that with limited space, if I had to limit myself to one tool, he would get a radial arm saw. He said that you can most everything you need with that tool. Any comments about that? I have some room in the garage but not extensive and just starting out I don't want to sink a ton of money into it. I am thinking - look for a used radial arm saw, and then getting a router. I would appreciate any discussion, counter arguments/suggestions and any advice on getting started (ie good books, magazines...) Thanks, Fred |
