Top Woodworking Tools For Beginners

As a beginner woodworker, you need to know what tools are necessary to start with and what tools are not. I wanted to share with you what I think are the essential tools for a woodworking beginner. These are basic tools that every beginner woodworker needs. There are no large, expensive tools listed because if you are just starting out woodworking, you may not have the budget for those tools. You can build amazing projects using basic starter tools. I am proof of that. Let me encourage you to put yourself out there and make amazing projects using basic woodworking tools. II started with borrowed tools and worked my way up to the tools that I have today. I was blessed with support from family members and the community that has purchased my woodworking projects. Here are the tools I recommend if you want to start making the type of projects that I have built to date.

Cordless Tool combo kits are an excellent way to start to save money while getting multiple tools. I recommend getting a kit with a drill, impact and circular saw. Or a drill and impact set. If you can afford the other tools and see a need for them, it’s a great way to stock the shop with multiple tools in one kit. Check them out here: https://go.magik.ly/ml/zo28/

Let’s get into the list of tools I think a beginning woodworker should have.

1. Circular Saw: Gotta cut that wood! You need a saw. I don’t have a specific brand to recommend because I use this one below. If I was buying one, I’d look at a Skil or DeWalt.

2. Drill/Impact. A combo set is the way to go! You don’t want to have to switch out bits every time. Get a combo set and save yourself the headache!

3. Tape Measure. Use the same one for the project. Don’t mix tapes or your measurements might be mixed.

4. Clamps. Got to hold things in place! Get some!

5. Squares. Without them, you’ll be all jacked up!

6. Wood Glue will make your projects stick! Get some!

7. Pocket Hole Jig is the most used tool in my shop. I love pocket hole joinery and encourage others to use it too! It makes woodworking so approachable!

8. safety glasses! Save the eyeballs!
