beautiful wood working. I love tools. I can't keep many tools because my place is tiny, but the tools I have I love

I know what you mean. I have been collecting tools since I was 15. In fact, when I got divorced 15 years ago, the only thing I asked for in the divorce was my tools. The saw I used to build this crib is over 20 years old. I have built many aquarium stands with this saw.

I hear ya. One thing I can say for sure though, is that when you do wood working, the quality of the wood makes a huge difference as well. There is nothing like getting a hard wood (no jokes ), cutting it, and having a piece that looks like it could have came from an assembly line because it is so easy to work with.

A few must have tools (for me) is the cordless drill, circular saw, jig saw, and clamps. With those tools, you can do a whole lot!

I am building my 4th DIY stand and I feel each ones gets a little better and better.
