For those of you who wonder what tools I use to build my woodworking projects or repair things, I’ve created the list below. This list is only tools and equipment, for actual parts to fix something please refer to the article for that item. The link will take you to an Amazon product listing where you can view the product and/or purchase them if you want or can explore other options.
A lot of the tools listed below are older tools. I’ve had some of them for over 26 years since I got them in high school. I’ve continued to build my tool collection throughout the years and am always looking to add new items to my collection. Many of the tools aren’t fancy but they allow me to get the job done.
